Off to machine show in Newark again, big show with lots to see and plenty of folk to talk too! It rained yesterday so I came away early - taking brolly today! Les, thanks for the kind words, irons in the fire etc...... Yesterday, I really meant household jobs!😂🤣😂 Off to watch rugby at Doncaster tomorrow and was looking forward to beers in the stands but bonus daughter fell of her horse yesterday and broke her ankle! Looking to change tickets to seats now! Ova, Run, Doubt!

Morning Team. Off to Groundworx at Newark after sending out a summary of my experiences at GreenMech. After 27 years there, I've a load of experiences in different scenarios but a shite CV. Sounds and looks like a decent day weather wise but I did get told that the weekend could be wild. Toy car got the MOT, but it was suggested that I remove the bulbs from the ABS and Airbag warning lights and take away the black tape that covers them! Be good today folks. Wry, Tup, Mice, Treat.

RIP Dickie Bird. Cricket umpire. 91, not a bad innings.

Tracking says tyres are here, so get them fitted and collect MOT, If not, I got to pay twice and get it retested! I pity Paul at the garage. He can only charge £54 for an MOT and some take over an hour and the garage up the road charge £95 an hour for labour and Mark up the parts too!

Awake and thinking of what jobs to do! Tom's birthday today so offered to take him out but he would rather stop in and have sosige and mash, but may go to pub for a couple with him. Hope tyres for Focus get here to get the MOT finalised too. Glossing stair bits maybe too? Machinery show at Newark? Hmmm. Tay, Lam, Maid.

Morning Team! Awake and got a list of stuff I need to do this week and already changed the plan. Was going to old folks but then remembered that it is Tom's birthday so will delay visit. He is off drag racing in the states again soon so present will just be a wedge of yankie cash! Have a good week and do it safely! Wooden, Emma, Knee.

Decent lie in doing the crossword etc, couple of diy type jobs to be done. Booked a Crete holiday for next August and thinking of what I need to do with trip to old folk in Devon. Truly awful rain storm yesterday evening so didn't get to the Brewshed! Enjoy your Sunday! Warren, Peas.
-
Charlie, find a pub and have a beer! Hwad a bit thick this morning, couple of pints in the Brewshed followed by some wine to celebrate the start of the weekend, plus sold the car etc! Standard jobs and tip run today etc. Planning a hit if a beery rugby thing fir next Friday too! Getting on with life! Enjoy your life, work hard and play harder! But be safe! Suite, Car, Err, loin.

Night All. Going to lie in. Be good and safe please! Enjoy the Friday and come home safe! Tray, Dew, Neon, Lieder.

Morning Team, slept badly and feel pretty rough! More phone work and job hunting - something will come along eventually. Wench sent me details for Elf's in Santa's grotto in Meadowhall at Christmas! Be safe y'all. Dump, Pert, Ruck.

Took a load of old paperwork to tip yesterday and someone had decided to go digital and launched their adult art collection in the recycling skip!

I had a de-clutter recently to do loft insulation and got gritty and determined with the stacks of old car magazines. Classic and Sports Car, Land-rover Owner, volksworld, Practical Performance Car, Popular Classics, Custom Car, American Motors, Retro Ford to name a few titles. Dies anyone want to make a bid? I'm told that they can fetch some money if advertised in the right way but I cba'ed. The picture shows the largest quantity - Classic and Sports Car, possibly 20 years worth!

Has showered here and is looking autumnal. I'm off to some show at NEC as a job seeker, a recycling and waste show. No doubt that the NEC will have a shocking car park fee..... Be good y'all! Mao, thwart, earing.

RIP Robert Redford.

Got to admit Mick, I was a good "brash rat" and enjoyed that menial work and it gave someone a break as well showing them the standard I wanted stuff left like! Good for the tummy muscles too!
-
Ugh, been awake for a while. Seem to wake early and sleep in the evening at the mo! Tip runs, housework and calling folk to find a job! Be good and I hope the phone is ringing for you with storm work! New heating is nigh on silent compared with old boiler! Ran, Can, File.
-
Climbers take care! Windy out but clear sky! Clearing office today of loads of old paperwork and job hunting! Plus house cleaning! Rhys, Whither, Spawn.

Bit of a head this morning, the result of going t'pub and wine after! Bonus daughter doing roast pork dinner later and she does right good tates! Tip run with garden waste in a bit. Enjoy your day!
-
Morning All! Think the Skoda is sold and to a tree bloke that I've known for upwards of 15 years too! Get that sorted and do a few garden jobs in between the rain showers. Enjoy the weekend! Diner, Soars.

There is an agency which notifies everyone of a death, which can save a lot of time and grief, but occasionally, it has a negative effect. It transpire that as he is dead, they take his details off the ownership but do not automatically add his widow in case he has left it to someone else. Therefore it has no owner, but they list it as 'sold'. Sorted with a phone call though. But it gave time for the twat who shook on it to swerve!

I'm up as she is up! She only had a couple of hours then she has gym thing! Dedication! Some more job type jobs for me and I'll take her t'pub later! Tosser who shook hands on her Dad's car did a swerve which gets right up my nose, his number is blocked and it is advertised again..... Duly, Hand, Ruse.

That DSG gearbox is the dogs dangle things and at 140bhb, it gets on the way!

After getting the run about and swerve from a fu#*wit trader, the father in laws car is up for grabs. Low mileage and good history, good interior blah blah blah. Slight scrape on passenger side but otherwise mighty fine! 70k miles with recent cam belt, water pump and AC pump. Suitable as Arb runabout, climbers truck or family motor. Comes with invoices and two keys, viewable in the Retford area. £6,000.
