What are you all up to today? - part 3

Mr Brue has been cider making today, a neighbour has been telling him a better way to do it but they were both out in the twilight looking wet and miserable .

Oh yeah? It takes a chap years of practice to hide his enjoyment and inebriation from 'Er Indoors' ..

<<< .Yes it was British lamb. >>>

Wonderful. Always look for the Red Tractor logo;

Now jumping off my soapbox

Write your comments here...I'm not sure whether it had that logo but it did say British lamb on the packaging.

We're still getting high wind gusts here. It keeps rocking our caravan. The awning is being held down with storm straps and additional guy ropes going through every possible loop plus hammering the awning pegs into the ground when they get loosened. We hope the wind will die down eventually.

Luckily we have time to keep a check on the awning as there was only one lunchtime delivery to do. It's been quiet ever since.

Last night we were still doing deliveries at 22:30. It's amazing how late some people eat! It makes you feel exhausted working so late every night. Still I managed to get some sleep this aftenoon in between being shaken by the wind!

Sunny day here again, but very cold all day.

Went to DD's rented out flat to fit required smoke alarms etc, but ran out of time to finish it so have to go again on Tuesday.

Parking is a nightmare in the West End of Glasgow, max allowed is 4 hours, then no return within 1 hour, so I had to leave after that.

Found a few problems, no power to the existing supposedly mains powered detector in the downstairs hall, so if I cannot sort that I will have to wire it to the light in the ceiling.  Then I have to get them all to "talk to each other", and fit the test button and the CO detector.

Discovered the (Italian) tenants had not managed to work out how to operate the dishwasher, they have lived there 18 months, there are instructions in the folder we prepared.  So I have now shown them what to do, the lady of the house was very pleased!  

What I don't understand is why they had not asked before, DD has been there several times since they moved in, and I have been at least 5 times now.

We've just called out on another order. So we're at Kfc Broadwater. Plenty of parking space this evening for a change! It's a town centre delivery for a regular customer. 

 STILL ,blowing a gale here in East Kent !! Home early from the boatyard today,too cold & rough.Goodnight !!.

The weather hasn't been too bad here today.  Damp but no rain.  A little on the cold side but not too bad - better than the start of the week.

At long last TP came to collect their scaffold towers after several phone calls!!! I was about to suggest I put them on EBAY!!!! They were locked in the back garden so we had to be there to let them in. Just waiting for the cheque to go through and weep at the hole in my bank account. On the bright side no more painting and the porch looks really good. Unlike the original it is double glazed so that will keep the cold off the main door.

I've just got up to put the kettle on for a pot of tea. It's less windy. At last the weather is calming down except for the occasional gust.

We use a 2 kw electric kettle so it boils the water very quickly. So the tea is now made. Just got to wait for it to brew. Tea is always refreshing when you first get up and you're feeling thirsty.
