Other What currently makes your life awesome?

I hear that 5 guys in one night will do that to you...

 

They're balking at the price.

 

9 weeks post hair transplant, hair is now finally starting to grow back in.

I’ve not worn a hat since the day of my transplant, prior to which I’d probably worn a hat at least 3 years + consecutively if not more.

 

I remember what it looked like in July, and looks fantastic in comparison .

 

After seeing it on Adam Savage's youtube channel (attached below), I registered my interest in an upcoming ST:TOS Tricorder replica from The Wand Company.
I've just had an email update from them, and it seems like it's going to be a quite a bit cheaper than I thought!

 

Had an offer accepted on a house, only a small amount of negotiating was needed. Now the fun of sorting all the mortgage and other shenanigans.

 

Just finished eating and heard some flapping round the corner.

Popped around to see a hobby hawk just over head in the trees for a few seconds before it took off.

Lovely birds. We'd heard them calling over the past few days but luckily got to see it.

Nice last night of the trip. Started off with the meteor shower (we see them most years to be fair) and aurora so this was a good tail to the top.

 

I never knew I was a Johnny-come-lately.

I've never heard of it

 

Yeah can't imagine wifey ever complaining about that mate

E: I know you were expecting a comment, I'd hate to disappoint

 

Unless she falls asleep whilst waiting…

 

Thought you'd be used to that by now, bud.

 

Sleep? She barely has time to blink

 

So one highlight of Schiphol is watching all the mice scurry about the place.

Probably not hygienic but they are cute.

 

Years ago we were leaving Ukraine and somehow my mate had a ticket but not a seat? They couldn't get him a flight home that day but he was pushing for them to fly him to Amsterdam and get home from there the following day. He was struggling to explain to the staff that he'd rather spend the night in Schiphol rather than Boryspil

 

HMRC

Yes, HMRC. They'd tried to give me late payment penalties after not getting around to my submission for about a year and needing a 'wet' signature scan.

Thankfully they agreed if they'd said this a year ago I'd not have gone into the realm of penalties in the first place.

They have always been good in the past on the phone or challenging penalties, I think of late it's been a lack of manpower that's caused them issues.

 

Wow that brings back some memories, my first new TV as a wee'un was one of those.
