Other What currently makes your life awesome?

Will you get to the snow?

 

I'm no Eddie the Eagle!

 

BOOK IT! BOOK IT NOW!

Seriously, that's super cheap. And Japanese food in Japan is worth the price of admission alone.

 

That's got me checking expedia for Japan and maybe scrapping current holiday plans!

 

See you there!

 

Ian the Ibis?

 

PAYDAY plus cost of living bonus.

 

Not sure you're supposed to be robbing banks in your profession, dude.

 

Four days off in a row.

Yes, I know there's a weekend in there. And I always have a three-day weekend anyway. But that one extra day I took off makes all the difference right now.

 

I was right to go for 18's.

 

Oh, nice! I'm doing the opposite and possibly going all black on mine. We could stand them next to each other and it would look like an arty photo.

 

Honestly, I should have gone for black. The brake pads in there at the moment are shocking for brake dust. I'm just glad I have a brake change coming up and I can put something else in..

That said, I want to do an homage to the 96 Cossie Repsol scheme, so these wheels were somewhat required.

 

Making loads of progress getting the house de-cluttered - had a good old sort out last weekend, and have been doing the same this evening. By Sunday I should have cleared enough stuff to turn the spare room into a "hobby/board game" room.

Also: gave up on even trying to move the hefty b'stard treadmill, it can live downstairs now. Not fair to inflict the job of moving that arsehole on any of my friends, and I'm being a stingy b'stard with money at the moment so I am not inclined to pay someone to move it for me. Had to dismantle and move the dining table to make the space work... but we rarely used it anyway, and the unexpected bonus is that the dining table makes for a damn good board game table in the spare room.

Had a gardener in yesterday, and we've got cleaners coming in next week to do a long-needed deep clean in the kitchen & bathrooms... We're in serious danger of turning this house into somewhere we're actually happy to stay in

 

You have my admiration. I really should get my backside into gear and do the same.

It's been such a stupid and crappy start to the year that it's now just about May and very little has been done.

Maybe spring will be the time.

Ah good, that's not a euphemism.

 

I know somebody else who needs to do that…

 

I'M DOING IT! STOP HASSLING ME!

 

Scale model world at the NEC has been a damn good show so far, absolutely heaving with people.

 

Wifey's MG4 replacement (Long story, but TLDR: car issues, warranty Issues and closure of all local MG Dealers) fits in the garage...





Was a bit touch and go as it (Ionic 6) is both longer and wider than the Model 3 (plus the mirror perspective (+ Cameras) made it look way tighter when it the car - also the constant flat lining from all sensors doesn't help..). Luckily the doors are quite narrow in their design thus allowing a reasonable amount of room to get in and out. Garage being 27.5' long also helps.

 

People still use garages for cars?

For me, wife has got approval for potential holiday so will be getting that sorted, first time going away since getting married last February so it'll actually be a delayed honeymoon I guess!
