Inside IR35 contract is giving me the Tulips. I think I prefer the Daffs, since I'm more Narcissistic. No Snowdrops or Snowflakes around here.

Had a blow out - ~70mph, right hand lane of the M5, Rear offside Tyre. Car is fine, I’m fine – although changing a wheel in the dark and wet with HGV’s trying to shave your arse every few seconds does tend to concentrate the mind. At least if a truck did hit me it would’ve been quick!
Worcester - Flooding! Bloody hell!Comment

Blue skies and chilly out on the walk earlier. Many of the local ponds were frozen over.
No breeze, so it may be a pleasant day.…Maybe we ain’t that young anymoreComment

Sparky claimed that GU10 halogen bulbs can be directly swapped for LED.
I'll pick up a couple and test, as that contradicts what a different sparky told me (that one said the transformers needed to be changed).
If I can directly swap to LED, that would make life a lot easier.Comment

It does depend on the bulbs you buy, I was able to replace all the kitchen ones without a problem but the kitchen cupboard lights have transformers so that's a slight world of pain when I get round to it.Originally posted by SimonMac View PostDo you have any on a dimmer switch, as we had a nightmare finding LED's that are dimmable

HWMBO also blathered on about dimmable lights. No excuse for him. He knows that the two lights I have on a dimmer are not spot lights.Comment
