Morning All
Looks to be a nice day out there.
No paper-getting today as she's going to get her Mum's butcher stuff.
All other chores done, and sat here with a coffee.
Managed to get the time to hang my new gate and fit the Suffolk latch yesterday.
It came out OK I think.
You all have a great day.

Finally the rain has buggered off what a lovely morning in our sleepy village its so quiet
Think il have a walk along the shore before I start rolling around under the disco.

Yeah, I too have more 13mm than i can shake a stick at I even have two different type of ratchet ones.
Tother day stepson asked me to take a back wheel off his campervan to sort out the squeal he constantly had coming from it. Despite having two socket sets with me over here, I did not have a 1/2" drive 21mm socket. Embarrasingly I only had a 3/8" drive one, so I tried it with an adapter and of course the adapter snapped first pull. We didn't have time for us to go down the mountain to buy a 21mm 1/2".
Then the other day doing a different job I discovered I did have a 21mm ring spanner, so could have done it, probably, with a lot of cursing and smacking of stuff with a Foff hammer. The ring spanner is in my French household kit, which I hardly ever use. In the UK I have compressor, windy gun, sockets to go with etc, etc, etc!

Don't worry, as you get older and approaching my age marbles will also get lost regularly!

Good morning, trying to avoid starting today as we have a Cocker Spaniel to cut the coat off as it is so hot, 34 degrees today. Yesterday and the day before we struggled to do her older mate, with blunt clippers and scissors. I tried sharpening both but scissors are too loose and clipper blades apparently need a special extremely parallel stone for it to work, as told by the local "affuteur" yesterday, who cannot do them, although he has a mate in Toulouse who can but is on fu ckin holiday till 8th September! FFS
So I'll give the scissors rivet a clout with an ammer having sharpened the blades and will just struggle on with the clippers. But in the heat it will not be fun.
Wish me luck!

A French dog groomer?

Who if not on holiday would have a waiting list a mile long and prices to match. (We did discuss having one.)
Also we have had bad experiemces with dog groomers in the past. The only one we trust is the lady who comes to our house in the UK, who is fabulous.
Anyway, dog washed and now waiting for her to dry completely before trying to clip her after the heat of the day.

Back from the building site of doom
I only went there to escape the screaming and fighting of the grand-kids and for a bit of peace & quiet and manly banter.
We did get self-leveling compound mixed & laid on the 2 areas of the floor requiring it. Looks great now.
UF/CH kit arrives Monday so we will crack on laying that Tuesday/Weds and then start on the laminate floor immediately afterwards.
I am teasing my son that after his initial boast of "me and Thom will smash all the work out in 3-weeks" at the beginning of this project (a month ago) and his revised "2 more weeks" (as of last Sunday) that my advent calendar now says "11-Days" and I am kicking him & his lot out on Day-Zero.

said I'd fix someones android tablet that doesn't turn on. usually a loose ribbon cable, if you're unlucky its a dead battery
checked all the connections, nothing. checked the battery, 0.0v

put some charge in the battery, battery holds charge!! plug back in, turn on.. bingo!! success!! put on charge and it switches off, check battery and its 0.0v again... one dead tablet!!!
