What are you currently doing? (Archive Oct 2019 - Apr 2022)

Morning folks.
OH jumped out of bed about hour ago (in her sleep) insisting she heard something. Might have been the fact that she was sleep talking at the time. She back to bed and was out like a light. I was left wide awake, so headin for the dumbbells.
Oh the joy of married life lol.

Yes, we always offer workmen a drink at least! We had our bathroom gutted and refitted from scratch last year, and my wife kept them supplied with tea and biscuits and bacon sandwiches.

My plumber does not even think about starting work till he has had at least one cup of tea and more often than not starts the job taking his second cup with him.

@Green_Eyed_Girl I was convinced you will way up in Scotland. I did not realise Cornwall has having such bad weather. I’m glad I have no holidays planned yet then. Its such a lovely county when the sun shines. Hopefully you will get more of a summer soon. I once had a girlfriend from Newquay, she was lovely but the distance between us was 300 odd miles and we were very young.

@steve19 yes, what alot of people dont realise is we also get some of the highest rainfall in the uk, have alot of seafog, incredibly variable weather and a ton of storms every year. Most of this is due to the fact we kind of have a microclimate as a county. All that water around us.
We get alot of spots that have incredibly localised climate conditions too. Its pretty normal to drive a few miles and have the weather drastically shift. Ive seen it torrentially rain on one side of the street and be sunny on the other.
So, yes. We have odd weather. Its not perpetually sunny and warm here, despite what people think :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:
(Plus, we had a very dry april and have this Easterly wind atm, which is super cold. So it is resulting in alot of seafog and low cloud. Recently inwas starting to wonder if we where ever going to see the sun again)

@WillC @Kitty-Cat01 @Onlyones @Gazza_64 it’s just being polite! As I say I’d never expect it but it’s appreciated, especially in this weather! I always chat to the customers, nothing wrong with building a rapport with someone, especially if they’re going to be there for a while as you say @Kitty-Cat01

Don’t get wrong I don’t think any less of people If they don’t offer a brew and certainly don’t put anything less into the job! It’s just nice to offered!

Cheers mate, I’m looking forward to the moussaka but I cook it from scratch and takes me two days but it’s so worth it. I miss my beloved Greek Isles and have become a budding greek chef over the last year or so.

Are you Greek mate?

No, I’m through and through black country but my heart lies in the places I love the most in the most welcoming country I’ve visited many many times. :greece:

About 18 years ago we did a loft conversion for this couple! (When I worked for a firm) husband was away on the rigs most of the time snd she was a right battle axe! No brews ever and she was constantly moaning! It was Xmas time and we where finishing up on the 23rd for the break! She shouted us down (there where 6 of us on the job) went down to full table laid out Asif it was Christmas Day and she sat us down to a full dinner with all the trimmings! We where all shocked! She apologised for the way she’d been and said it was nothing personal it’s just the way she was and she struggles with certain things! We felt bad instantly as we’d probably said a few choice words about her! It’s funny because she was one of the nicest people we’d met after sitting and having dinner with her! After Xmas there where no brews again though :man_shrugging:t3::joy::joy:
