Other What currently makes your life awesome?

Did you not get the Elegance trim?

 

Yup, generally switch between whichever car I am going drive in the morning (I leave around half an hour before my wife for work).

We have a First Edition Trim (same as the current Ultimate trim but with different seats and ALOT off the asking price!). It does have the summon option and tbh had not even thought of using that.... *ideas*...

(I genuinely don't know if it will work when the sensors are going crazy, might just try and move it back a bit as there is room behind it currently).

 

Not sure if this should be here, in the things I've bought thread, or the what I learned today thread.

Basically the toilet was making funny noises when filling up the cistern and it has a contstant run into the pan. With no prior experience or plumbing expertise I replaced the flush and fill valves, fix the problem, and no signs yet of me messing anything up. Result!

 

For your collection:-

 

Whist at model world live at the NEC I ended up being approached by the CEO of Jadlam, They've recently become a distributor for Bandai and I've been asked to build several kits to demo their stand at the massive IPMS Telford show this November, they also want a 2 page spread, build log w/ pictures for the magazine they send out to customers/subscribers as well. Still in talks atm but ha, fancy that.

 

On holiday! Not the 2 week jaunt abroad we wanted
Currently on the same latitude as @Gareth Halfacree!
Nearly at York having travelled up from Bournemouth this morning via Hertfordshire to drop our daughter back at student house.
Looking forward to exploring York for a few days, home via Cambridge next weekend

 

Yorks a fantastic city, enjoy!

Right now I'm on holiday in Bournemouth, a mile from my house. I think Laura has a problem.

 

One of my girlfriends bought us tickets to pride parade afterparty next month

 

That is somewhat opposite! We always used the guide "You can be a million miles away from home just down the road" when it came to camping with the kids, New Forest one way, Dorchester the other.
Where are you @ElThomsono?

 

A wee shepherd's hut in Redhill, just us and the fog, the kids are with her mother

 

It's warmer in York than home in think.
Walked along the river ouse in the gentle rain from our cheap parking back to the hotel,very pleasant. The pub 200m away awaits!

 

Like York, not been back for years (used to live there a loonng time ago).

Which pub? There are loads!

 

I'll report back...
Our hotel is by the river and near where the Terry's factory was.

 

Trying to think where that is, is that out towards the Racecourse?

Anyway, enjoy!

 

It's not earth shattering but we listed something on Freecycle, there was a reply and they came and picked up when they said they would.

I mean that's almost unheard of.

 

That's your quota of good luck used up for the year then!

We went to the Slip Inn, a really traditional old pub, still independent and a great selection of beers
We're near Rowntree park if that helps

 

Talked with my CEO yesterday while I'm in Rotterdam HQ anyway. My ad interim team lead will be made permanent, all wrapped up by end of June to only have one org change instead of two (new finance director will start around that time as well).

 

Saw this pile of rust today, on the Taunton Freecycle page, described as a "heavy duty metal workbench".

 

A tinworm breeding centre!
