Good Morning Thread - Come say good morning, tell us what you've got on today. :)

We have this thread on TilersForums.com and it's just been restarted because the old thread had 20,000 replies and 500,000 views. And there were 700 pages. Started to lag a bit on slow connections.

I think we had a bash of this before, but I can't find the thread, so thought I'd start another one off.

If you have time in the mornings, come post in the thread before you head off to work, let us know what you've got on and what the weather is like in your area etc. Anything at all is fine.

Posts and likes get counted towards your total stats in this thread.

So GOOOD MORNING PEOPLE - WEATHER IS NICE TODAY IN STOKE. I'M THANKFUL IT'S FRIDAY, HAD A RUBBISH WEEK. THANK GOD IT'S OVER.

Checking the route of the the tour of Britain, I’ll be watching the highlights tonight and play a game of “I-worked-in-that-building!”…. Should be at least 12….

I took a drive up the route local to me, and the pavements were already lined with spectators.

I got a cheer and a clap from the primary school kids

Yesterday, I did some work at a major rail project going on in the midlands.
i diagnosed a faulty 5 pin 16A plug and socket combo that had been damaged by use whilst not fully inserted.

in total it took 2 Hours to do a 20min job. 5 other people on site had to get involved to generate the permits, paperwork, etc.

it is difficult to see why the project is running over budget!

Congratulations
it must be nice to have someone pestering you to have so much gold.
if your not in, I presume they will just chuck it over the fence or leave it with a neighbour?

Today I will be mostly watching BBC1 coverage of HM The Queens funeral.

Seen my brother in law twice so far. He’s in the first procession of pipes and drums on the left hand column. Scots guard piper, just in front of the drums.

Has to be from a bakers… not some supermarket… and it has to be a good bakers.

Scotch pie, inside a buttered roll…. It’s just a sandwich. It’s healthy!

Been out this evening for a meal to celebrate my parents anniversary.

This menu item proves beyond doubt that our Scottish national dish is indeed a wild animal….

But I’m not sure about that particular cut…..



And if that’s not your thing…. Here’s a picture of a cheesecake.

Well I suppose it makes a change from sweet breads.

Currently sitting in the van tucking into chocolate snacks after giving blood.
No fainting daughter this time, she’s back at uni.

This mornings job was to change the supply for lights in a bathroom from a rodent damaged cable onto a fused spur from rfc. Which also covered putting a fuse in for a replacement extractor fan. Saved a lot of furniture moving and carpet lifting to cut out the old cable.


Before that, early wake up thanks to some school prank.

My youngest came back from school yesterday with someone else’s phone in her bag. Turns out someone in her class decided it would be fun to steal another girls phone and plant it in my daughters bag.
Only chance they had was during PE, when the bags were unattended…. So she has a good idea which group of girls it was.

She spent all afternoon oblivious to this, but knowing this other girl had lost her phone…. Who was now frantic.
When she got home and realised, she messaged the girl and told her she had the phone.

6 o’clock this morning… this phone decided to wake up the house due to the alarm clock….
Then again at 6:15, 6:30, 6:45…… every 15 minutes until half 7.

Teenage girls can be horrible sometimes.

Note to self.

When drilling a fixing hole into pvc conduit box.... Do it on the floor, on a piece of wood, holding it steady with your size tens.
Do not just try and hold it in your hand and brace against your leg while you're kneeling down.

Yes, ladies and gents. I drilled into my own leg.

 

[James]

at least you would have had a suitable size screw to plug the hole with!!

"just a flesh wound"


Yes... it was really just a graze. The trousers got the worst of it.
