Well, the wee grand-dottir (who's sadly a rather big lassie for a 7YO) is suffering from facial tic's, inappropriate behaviours and vocal patterns (growling animal noises) may not be quite the shilling. Having dopamine enhancing tech shoved at her to fulfill her need for attention instead of real human contact and attention may be a factor (ask her Mum who takes the easy way out all the time).
I despair.

normally there is a panic rush before Christmas as people want stuff fixed as they have family coming then jan/ feb quiet as they have no money left then things pick up, but the last few years have been hit and miss as people are cutting back.

My good mate just along the road has a son who growled like an animal for years, only while he was on his trampoline
His wife would let him bonce about on it with no clothes on (so my mate told me)
Our other neebs thought they had growly dog since they moved in lol.( 3 years at the time) It was really annoying & they wouldnt say anything to him as they though he was a tad autistic. (turns our now he has) He tried to get him to go out on his bike & come down the garage but no his misses would let him wear a fairy dress & tiara n bounce about in that ffs I couldnt hold my
mouth one day & said ffs mate he's a lad yers misses wanted a wee lass n shes wasting his brain, get him into sports & take him
to the gym n spend some time with him. Now he's stopped the animal antics & loves the gym n swimming hes not quite right
but just need a wee bit of patience & guidance.

Ye need another wee side line.

So, today went to Barff for the theater. Yep the Merkin one.
Saw The Circle by Somerset Maugham, which was funny and a wee bit thought provoking.
W drove both ways. She did OK even though she "hates driving in the dark". Even managed to cope with a near miss when some complete pratt overtook oncoming traffic, so completely on our side of the road, in the dark. I haven't had to cope with a near miss, head on collision like that in years! She didn't even hammer the brakes and screech to a stop nor nuffin, just cooly gave him the room he needed and carried on, ffing and jeffing a bit!

Tomoz off to Wandswuff for hopefully our last visa interview ever.

Thumb joint still painful, but apparently this is a common side-effect of steroid injections.
Sleep tight folks!

Brrrr

I've been up, let the dogs out and am back in mi pit - it looks very cold out there! However, I do prefer this to the incoming rain and winds.

Morning All.
Taking boy to school, back soon.

I got the car defrosted and went back in. Under a blanket with a brew and enjoying my day off

Still snowing

...that in the cold weather the gas-struts don't keep the tailgate top from falling and hitting you on the head!

Afternoon folks .

Just loaded the trailer and worked up a sweat so having a cuppa before decanting into the back porch, Bright sunshine here and warm in the sun.
Looks like @Stone56 is getting what we are promised tomorrow, forecast say 8cm and a few horrible days. We will see, hopefully @Stone56 will use it all up before it reach's us.
