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.

I was supposed to be at blood doners a few days ago.... but didn't get the reminder in time and was busy with another appointment.... Namely taking number 2 daughter to her driving theory test.... Which i'm pleased to say she passed.

What did this daughter do that you feel the need to describe her in such derogatory terms?

Cos she’s the middle one of 3???


Oh you mean because she’s a wee s h i t e

So on a Friday we have a little tradition that neither of us can say when we started it - 2p's friday: Prosecco & Pizza. Nothing elaborate or expensive, but the end of every week we find something positive that's happened, or some other reason, to toast the end of the week. Sometimes it's something obvious, sometimes it's as little as not having actually killed each other over an argument and still being together, but it's just a moment of stillness and acknowledgement of the challenges that life brings along with the joy of succeeding. And that's something that we can do even when I'm away - a quick video call, each of us with a glass of something (always interesting if it happens to be breakfast in my time zone...). And then when I'm home we do the Pizza bit - I'll be knocking up some dough to start proving in a bit, and then we each have a pizza-off as to who can make the prettiest or tastiest pizza whilst doing some kitchen disco. Before then collapsing in front of some boxset!

Must be Friday…..

They look amazing!!! I need to do that myself!

I have been swimming at 730 this morning for an hour, which is just as well because I ate 4 wagon wheels yesterday! Literally the whole wagon!

Actually quite springlike today - sunny and mild! Even seen 2 bumble bees!

 

[littlespark]

So sunny, I cleaned out the hot tub at the weekend. Fresh water, heated it up, and now high as a kite on chlorine fumes….

Converted some of my Tesco club card points into 3 free months of Disney plus. The youngest is happy with that because there’s some singers concert going to be on it….

Taylor Swift? Never heard of her.

She’s got tickets to see her in June…. So I don’t know why she wants to see it beforehand.

 

[Lou]

Oh wow that is impressive she got tickets! I have seen the trailer for the concert but I haven't watched it.. I do love Disney plus, we watch all the Marvel stuff

Vaguely related to my morning... learn a bands setlist for a tour starts next month. So basically listening to music whilst I do some gardening chores and billing someone for the privilege

Give us a couple of song titles off the list and we’ll have a guess which band it is….

Reminds me my brother has a handwritten Nirvana set list framed up on his wall, next to a pair of discarded Dave Grohl drumsticks from that time.

Tell me your guesses in the Arms... I'll post.

God I'm starving now those pizzas look awesome

 

[Lou]

OOOHHHHHH I must know what band it is! goes to hunt out thread in Arms

Its pouring down here today after a couple of lovely days weather. I hope Summer is not over already.

 

[littlespark]

Doing a bit of prep work for a db change at the weekend.

A nice new 3P glass fronted Hager board to go in place of a handful of mismatched single phase boards, to add rcd protection where it’s needed, and to remove rcd protection from where it’s not.

It’s the garage for the funeral directors I’ve worked at before, where they had a new mortuary fridge unit put in. That’s to come off RCD…. As they really don’t want that nuisance tripping.

I suggested adding SPD while we’re at it, but was declined. Lightning storms and corpses… what could possibly go wrong?…. Ask Dr Frankenstein.

Morning all, morning @littlespark mate. That sounds like a right job!! Do you get to see the after-life people? (don't want say the D word haha - even saying it creeps me out)

Nah… they’re either in a coffin, or in the fridge.
There is a chapel of rest and a proper “workshop” so to speak, but they lock the doors and warn me beforehand if I’m around.

Had a body within a month of starting working on the family caravan site. Not very nice experience.

 

[Lou]

Caravan site body??

 

[littlespark]

Caravan site body??

yeh.... I was in the office, and we got a phone call up from one of the owners saying they couldn't get their husband to wake up... he'd collapsed in the bedroom....
Static caravans are not known for ample space, and the poor guy had fallen between the bed and the far wall.
I went down, collected our groundsman for assistance, as the receptionist phoned the local doctor. No way to revive, No way to extricate him without destroying the bed.
Doctor arrived, ambulance.... but was declared dead by the doc..... Seemingly died before he fell.... not when he landed.

The 10 years i was there, was at least 3 deaths on site.... but that was the only one i witnessed.

Most recent was one of the regulars... always in the bar...life of the party type guy... Died while walking home to his caravan.

Police erected a fence shield around the body, as it was unexpected death. Not what you want to see on a holiday park on a busy bank holiday weekend.

When you say family, do you mean they're a family? Or it is your family camp site like?

OMG I'm still thinking about these!!! Can't find a similar one in the shop so it looks like i'll be getting some dough this weekend.
