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.

Last year, when wife and me were cruising… (yeh… on a boat!), the eldest hadn’t closed the big freezer door properly, didn’t notice for a few hours, then shut it.
However, the freezer had sensed the temperature was too high, and had shut itself down…. On purpose… to not refreeze possibly defrosted food that no one knew about.

I had to diagnose the “flashing red light” on the freezer from the waters off Croatia and tell her how to reset it so it would start working again.


When we got home, we checked everything… it was only raw meat products that smelled funny once defrosted, so got binned.
Everything else was frozen veg, ice cream, home made soups, and boxes of processed nuggets, sausages, loaves of bread etc. They were all still good.

In the words of the great Victor Meldrew: " I don't believe it"


I havent been entering those online raffles for a while... it was getting harder to win, and didnt really have the disposable income handy.... but a little while ago, the "toy" one i had Lego from was doing a Wednesday Addams doll... My middle daughter has a collection of boxed dolls from the same brand, reproductions of ones she had as a child... so i entered the comp... 50p a ticket.

I told her about it, because she saw the dolls in a toy catalogue that came through the door.

That was weeks ago.


I picked her up from work today... and first thing she said was :

"um... you know that thing you told me not to do?"

"What? get a tattoo?"

"No.... entering that raffle for the doll....."


Well, she only bloody won it, didnt she.





My eldest, in South Korea, has been making herself at home there... her school is still closed to pupils at the moment, so she has been exploring her surroundings, making new friends and enjoying the food....
Shes always like kpop music.... if you think x-factor is manufactured... this is 10 times worse.... and she left all her CD's at home...
She was at a record shop in Seoull, and bought, well, basically its a CD case without a CD in it... its just a link to download the music.... but the case also holds a raffle ticket to a meet-n-greet and a signing by the group....


Well, she only bloody won it, didnt she.






This Saturday.... I'm going to buy my youngest a lottery ticket.

Fingers crossed!

Oh how I hate you. If I was the only person entering a competition I would still come 3rd

On a cold, damp site today. Only 132kV. So far frightened a sleeping deer and spotted a fox.

That’s better than being spotted sleeping with a foxy old dear

When you get to my age a foxy old dear would be a luxury

Hopefully a quietish day today. Currently eating a Premier Inn breakfast. Bacon is a bit too hard. After that it's a 2 hour drive to our workshop/stores and do a refurb on a gas analyser for next weeks job. Tidy the van up and then home.

Procrastinating on packing for another three weeks away from tomorrow whilst starting to work out CAD drawings for the project afterwards when I'm back..whilst having early discussions on the job after that which is another six weeks away.

Another week, another Premier Inn. This time I'm near St. Neots. Weather looks pretty sh1te :-(

Another boring, same-old day today. Breakfast on the terrace, and now heading for a long walk on the beach, a dip in the sea and later a leisurely lunch and a couple of beers...

Stopped for lunch in a local car park picnic area between jobs, and once stopped, I could hear the shrill of the bagpipes….
Someone else’s radio perhaps?

No…. There’s somebody in the car park practicing…..




And if you think this must be an everyday occurrence for us “sweaty jocks” as dear old Tel used to call us….


I’m parked up in England.

I expect his wife won’t let him practice in the house, or anywhere near it!!
