Bank holiday blues...

TiffJ — Fri, 03 May 2019 14:37:51 GMT

What happened to the weather?! I'm sure at the beginning of the week they were telling us about a "plume of hot air from Spain" driving temperatures of 26 degrees and instead we've got... this 🌦

So, what are your plans? My weekend of sitting in the sunshine is scuppered, that's for sure!

Have a great weekend, whatever you end up doing!

@TiffJ no, no, no, no. I prefer cooler. I prefer damp. The sunshine and summer heat does my head in. I only like sunshine in early spring, late autumn and in winter.

I'm spending my time sat on my couch pretending my phone location is in South Korea hunting shiny pokemon 🤣

I’m living life to the full this weekend. Taking the cat for annual vaccinations and health check , then coming home and dropping the oil in my car and fitting a new oil filter. After that I may enjoy a small Seville orange and Persian lime gin with a bargain Easter egg I picked up today ha ha.

I’m impressed @Watkins07 ! I wouldn’t know where to start with changing oil filters! It sounds like you need to chat to our @Sorcha who’s also a bit of a car fan, having just rebuilt a vintage mini!

@BrendonH - happy Pokemon hunting!

@Northerner - enjoying chilling! And @Profile closed enjoy the chilly weather 😉

nothing you can’t do with good old YouTube videos these days lol. It’s all set now with new good oil and all other fluids topped up. Hopefully will feel a difference when I drive it next.

Not doing much, looking after my daughter, watching TV, some of it recorded or catch-up or live, wishing it were warmer and not so windy.

I know there is the Magnificent Motors down by the seafront, but shall not be going, hope for them, the weather will not be too bad, as we have also had some rain, but the sun is out right now.

@Watkins07 that is something I have never done, but then my car is a motability WAV car, and is due to go in for its MOT.

It looks like my daughter is going to sleep in the hall, she will sleep anywhere and has appeared tired this morning, so not surprised, she does this, she is like my big baby sometimes, a child in an adult body, you could say! Oh spoke too soon, sat up again, she may do this later, fall asleep.

@TiffJ "Well, I guess that's why they call it the blues".

What causes you blues is very different to what brings about the blues in me.

Well, as I said, my daughter will fall asleep wherever she is and has done so in the hall, snoring away, can hear her in the sitting room with the door partially open, will now close it, as am going to watch catch up on my TV and keep an eye on her via the CCTV!

@Schockwave Hope you managed to catch up on your tv shows. 🙂

I didn't have time to have the bank holiday blues...

I was working on the Mini on Saturday, ended up at a racing circuit on Sunday and worked on the mini again yesterday. He's finally ready! I think (maybe)…

Glad to see that someone else uses YouTube to learn how to do things @Watkins07

@Sorcha Wow, you have been busy lol. I’ll bring my car to you in future for repairs ha ha.

i love YouTube for ‘how to’ videos. I’ve learned loads of useful stuff lol x

Forgot to mention, this bank holiday has had a great ending, my sons football club won the league last weekend and this weekend they did the double by winning the cup too.

we went out to celebrate using a voucher I got for Zizzi’s after a previous rubbish meal but it was packed and no tables available. So we went to coast to coast for a meal instead and were kept waiting forever for food despite it being quiet. When it finally came it was crap, so I sent a polite email with feedback and got a reply this morning with an apology and £40 voucher 🤣🤣🤣.

Thats me not cooking and washing up for a few nights now lol.
