Morning.
Traffic still busy. Thought it was essential travel only?

Sun is slowly appearing but not warmth yet.

 

[Shimsteriom]

Good morning.
Wet and windy today, I should've stayed in bed.

 

[Stanleysteamer]

Good morning. Dull but dry, gardener just turned up to do 5 hours. Love it!

Morning All
Came down this morning to find that one of my faux shutters had tumbled into the room out of the window-frame.
That's the first time that it has happened, so I will look to see if/how I can improve the fixing of them.
Got her paper, but she has gone out herself too for visits to chemists etc.
Shopping later, maybe some trike stuff too.
Have a great day everyone.

Oooo return trip to kings Lynn. That’s today sorted.
Hoping a butty bar is open by Birmingham for dinner

Boiler all sorted for another year ...

Popped into town to the bank, as their 'savings' account now pays shite, I've opened an account with the Coventry ... they can move the money over there every month for me ...

Oh dear, maybe that had something to do with how they fell out then.
Perhaps it's time to think of making them again but this time out of ally or Perspex or summat.
Wood is lovely, but if it is covered up so you can't see the grain?
Is all this cos you want to avoid curtains? Or roller blinds?

Nice one.
I am so lazy with money, I just think they all give sh!te interest, but wifey moves hers around in stocks and shares, she even has shares in a distillery, which has benefits.
Wish I could be rsed.
Grandson's xmas present? A "bit coin wallet". He's following in his dad's foot steps and he managed to retire in his late 40s.

Avoiding both curtains and/or blinds. Having nothing there during daylight hours allows so much more light into the room.
To be fair, the 3mm birch-ply was the cheapest option I could find, and prior to covering they were perfectly flat. Whatever I use for an "inset" panel will have to have a friction-grip edging to ensure it stays put.
The warpage of the wooden panel isn't helping, but I am not out of all remedial options yet.
At worst, it has cost me c.£50 so far to find out whether this can be made to work or not. The effect of them we really liked, the placement/removal is a little more of a "faff" than pulling curtains, BUT the vista W/O curtains is so much better.
I shall persevere.

Road blocks required to keep the weegies away!!

 

[Shimsteriom]

I can confirm that me new black-out curtains work well

 

[My Old Landy]

It has been a strange day but I am still here so all is good

 

[Def90man]

Can you call them b.... out curtains anymore? I could be persuaded to be offended on someone’s behalf if necessary

 

[Stanleysteamer]

Pluriel passed, no advisories or whatever we call them this week, one bit of paper that truly means "peace in our time" well for a year!
