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.

You know Christmas is coming when the big boxes of chocolates are in the supermarkets.
Have been for weeks now, now we’ve just bought a couple to munch on during these darker nights.

One of my girls likes to open them up and swap the wrappers around, so you don’t know what you’re getting.

I don’t mind, it’s just a bit of fun…. But my wife?


It really gets her snickers in a twix.

Day three in the Littlespark caravan…. Please do not sweaaar!

Drove down the A1, heading to Scarborough on Saturday. Usual fun and games… stopped at services, forgot the fuel…. Missed the Darlington turnoff to reach next services for fuel…. Turned off following Satnav.
Sutton bank… unsuitable for caravans… follow signposted alternative rout…. Not much better.

Got here about 3 on Saturday. Rain and wind, so got set up, but left the awning.

Set up awning on Sunday…. It’s an inflatable, so comes with a hand pump.



It’s a few years old now…. So after the first couple of supports inflated… there was a bit of a crack.



So that’s that broken.
Half inflated awning, and a severely pee’d off sparky.


New addition to the caravan tool box. Box of self tappers and a roll of duct tape.




Sunny day. Heading to the amusements.

28 degrees here now...had a leisurely al fresco breakfast as I watched the sun creep along the beach, then a short beach walk and off into town for some essential supplies. Got a couple of sea-bream and will have a BBQ later, having invited the lady I met last nght...
No...I won't tell all tomorrow...cos there will be nowt to tell!
I have an outside light to install for a neighbour, but it's too hot now, so I will do that in the morning. I installed one for her last year and it's so good she wanted another one. I'll try to remember to take a pic. Light fittings for outdoors here are a bit random, some good, some awful, some of them expensive. This one is an unusual design but easy to fit cos there's a template in the box for the hidden screws.

Oooo love holiday season. We were in a cottage overlooking brixham. 41 steps to get up to the cottage, and the cottage was over 3 floors. Kitchen bottom and living room top so tea trips were aching us. If I were 20 I'd have loved it but we came back a couple of days early. Banged my head at least 4 times a day on their 5'6 door and the spiral stairs in the middle of the cottage were proper ankle twisters.

With my track record of breaking bones on holiday I thought it's safer head back

Ignoring the 2 road sections and track, all sloping, there are 247 steep steps from the centre of the resort to my terrace...and I walk down and up again every day...usually in the evening when I head for a few drinks...which can make the homeward trip a bit tricky!

 

[littlespark]

247 steps one way…. Somehow 276 after a few drinks?

Rained all night last night. Hardly slept with the noise on the caravan roof. The dog was whining at 3, and I had to take her out about 7….

New houses being built in the next field to the site, and they all start up at half 7.


Having a slow day in the caravan today. A good long walk around the area if the weather changes.

Spent yesterday at the Scarborough seafront… playing the 2p amusements. Even nowadays, they’re fun for a couple of teenagers.

Evening already for me but I've been doing some work with my cousin, sometimes he needs a helping hand and well here I am, ran some EMT and boxes to install a pair of outdoors lights and photocell for a lady, crappy integrated LED kind but it's what's available, tho I was able to rescue the older halogen ones that were poorly installed, those will be restored and modified to take 2x mains MR16, linear halogens are unobtainable.

A quiet day for me. I've just had my Premier Inn full English, packed my case and about to leave for home. Hopefully a quiet run, mainly M4 but first section M40 the M25.

Thanks @Moley
You just put me in the mood for a full English! I will head down to my favourite bar where they do such a thing.
They give me a full Scottish...no beans, but I get an extra sausage instead!
It's not really a "full" breakfast, but you do get 2 fried eggs, 2 sausages (link, not Lorne or square...not something the Spanish go for) bacon, toast, coffee and fresh orange juice...add a small brandy if you wish, nobody judges you!
Of course they do serve it with beans normally but in my view beans should never be part of a breakfast, hence I omit them and get the extra sausage. To be a true full breakfast I'd add black pudding, haggis, fried tomato, mushrooms and hash brown. My local breakfast place back home does that big combo.
OK, no beans for me at breakfast, and I'm sure there will be many who are horrified at that...have your say! Also, if you do favour beans with your full English or Scottish, do you like them dumped on the plate with all the other ingredients or served in a separate wee bowl?

 

[Moley]

I like beans, preferably just dumped on the plate. I've never understood the separate pot. We don't get the square sausage here, that's a treat when we work in Scotland.
I'm currently in Lee Delamare services. Got another 63 miles to go.

Well I’m sitting down to Whitby haddock and chips with mushy peas
