OH is giving up on choosing between a merc convertable and the XF; now he has decided to replace the BMW5 with a newer one.

Problem is that the favoured colour is the colour he has at the moment, with a personalised number plate it won't look that different.

Not sure why that's a problem. For me that would be a bonus.

Did they do that for any particular reason?

It's the summer and his hair makes up a considerable fraction of his body volume. So this should keep him cool. Also easier to bathe him if he rolls in unspeakable foulness

For a moment, there, I was thinking of our children as teenagers ......

Bandwidth error message , I'll attempt again later.

It only resets on 1st of the month..... it's on my To Do List. But top of the To Do List is "earn an income greater than £7/day" ... so it's a long way down.

Lots of spammers/!!!! .... and it'd take my head out of the zone for doing what I'm currently working on .... and likely to become a 2-3 day pain in the butt if I start, so best left alone.

Wow - I'd never in a million years guessed that NP had Peugeot 505 family estates in their past - I think my parents had both a GR and then a GTi which they still had when I was driving, it wasn't really suitable for a 17 year old who had just passed their test, I never crashed it but would have gone off the road once if it hadn't had a limited slip diff.

Photos from inside the secret dwarf room.


A couple of np have seen there is one visible back of stair tread and riser in our low ceilinged garden room. Well, from the other side there is this



I suppose it makes sense that where there is the back of a step there will be the front of one, but its still exciting to see. It looks more exciting in the flesh. I obviously cannot get down there but I have been flat on my tummy looking down between joists from the edge of the floor above.

The other thing I cannot quite see is the back of the door I have seen front he other side....the door to the room. It's deliciously rustic but not that ancient I think. I cannot see it myself of course, from that side.

We're going for the door to narnia. We're too old and skeptical to actually know that though, so we're just hopeful.

Did you say it could have been a priest hole lir? Fascinating whatever it was.

I had the weirdest night's sleep last night. Does anyone know if it is nesting season? A huge bird tried to get in my bedroom window and nick the driftwood I have in a vase on the windowsill. I went all Tippi Hedren, who apparently had nightmares during filming of the birds. Thankfully I was in the spare room, so this did not disturb still recovering DH.

Dh dreamt about catching a see through fish. He was trying to tell me about this this morning with his bruxism tooth guard in. 'I threat t thithed a three through thrish'. :rotfl:

I hope the birds leave yo alone tonight.
