Messymascot's faith in humanity and ginger safe haven

Good morning all on this fine day here in Finland ,I just can't get motivated of late .I hope all had a good night and have a better day .
As I said I am struggling to motivate myself to working on the car ,on finding the whole thing dead as a dodo it means I have to check what I was last on and if not all the fuses ,I have made this rig for checking them quicker than a meter but the weather has been against me and it won't get much better at this time of year .Somehow I have gotten lazy and cannot be harassed going out in the cold to fiddle with fuses ,saying that I cannot leave it to beat me ! Then there is the latest project ,for all my life I have wanted to paint ( not kitchens etc -I have done those ) and I watched a thing on UK tv it seemes so easy to do in that style ,@fandjango is safe for now ,so with coins in hand I raided the 30%off in Lidl and I am now armed with a painting array that would boggle Mr Turner and his Haycart .COYB
 

Morning all, apparently the rain is going to clear up later in the NWest so 🤞. Started watching The Long Shadow last night - the series about the Yorkshire ripper. On reflection it was probably not the best series to start after The Reckoning as it’s also dark and disturbing. So on a lighter note tonight I’m going to try and watch My Big Fat Greek Wedding 3 on the dodgy box. It’ll probably be crap but after a couple of gins I’ll probably be a. Asleep or b. Not bothered.
I‘ve also found the BBC podcast series about Everton that you mentioned @blueloon so I’ll give that a go also. Enjoy your art @blue1948 I imagine it will be very calming and take your mind of the Jag. Mines flashing up for a service and that sounds expensive - and my husband says it needs a new Cam belt?🤷‍♀️.
Have a good Friday everyone 💙

We watched the second episode of the Long Shadow last evening and as you say it‘s rather dark and disturbing, so we watched All Creatures Great and Small on Channel 5 afterwards as an antidote.

I’m obviously old school, I’ve always believed that if ever my wife and I split up there would be one of three outcomes. If we both decided to split it would be 50/50, if I cheated on her she would get 100% and I’d start again, if she cheated on me I’d burn everything and we’d both start again….

When we were married the service had just been changed to give the bride the option of choosing not to obey. However the vicar said that in his church the old service would apply as in his view the groom promised to give the bride all his worldly goods it seemed only fair the bride promised to obey in return. I have always taken the view that everything belongs to me - I have of course kept my side of the bargain - total obedience. 🤣

We’re enjoying The Long Shadow, despite its dark nature and reflection of how women were viewed in the ‘70s. There’s lots of “ well kent faces” in it as they say up here, and we’ve progressed an episode ahead using iPlayer.

It needs a new cambelt every so often and really should be changed as the consequences are catastrophic on most engines ,it is time or distance dependant so check when it was last done and how often it should be changed ,I do suspect however Mr V has done all that .If you want to share the info I will try to guide you if he has not checked .
It can and most times will cause so much damage that cars over a few years old would be scrapped .

Now I know why G does her own decorating.
Your house isn't your own when they are in and getting the main bedroom and kitchen done at the same time wasn't a great idea.
Trying to keep the dogs calm , being limited what rooms you can take them in and it's pissing down so you can't take them outside is no fun.
Ah well they came mob handed so should be done by tomorrow.
Have a lovely day everyone.

Cal and I used to always share decorating duties. I'd take my credit card when we went shopping for materials, and I'd hold the ladder for her when she couldn't reach bits on her own. Teamwork.;)
