'i' should be 'I'
I have many empty cardboard boxes in my loft, just in case I need to return any of the items originally in them. Even though most are well out of warranty (the original contents, not the boxes. As far as I know there was no warranty given or implied on the box). |
I know I'm far too late to this thread but I do this too, I have no idea why, there's some boxes for worthless shoot that I've had for years in my loft I'm sure I'm not going to take that £5 fan I got from dunelm in 2003 back now, but I'd better keep hold of the box just in case.
And in the spirit of the thread:
Moto GP is less exciting that WSB.

It is cold but it is dry and sunny. Mustn't grumble.

But a cold snap will kill off all these nasty bugs & stuff!
Apparently mild winters explain a jump in the rodent population.
My bike shed is infested with mice. I've caught 11 with
3 traps since mid October. Even my dog caught another 2!
Oh and I caught a cold! Bring on the snow....

Long days are surprisingly tiring.
The cold makes my face feel numb.
we got egged last night.
Just the 1 egg though.

I can't decide whether to have Weetabix minis or scrambled eggs and toast for breakfast.

I know it's un-seasonal but really must cut my grass. Unfortunately my back garden hasn't been dry enough for the last couple of months & I'm lazy.

Im having a chicken roast for tea with rosemary roast potatoes, swede, carrots, broccoli and sweet potatoes. I parbolied the potatoes and use olive oil when roasting. I also make home made gravy using Mary berry's technique. Bread sauce too.

I was embroiled in a spreadsheet task at work the other day that involved a lot of wheel scrolling. I changed the wheel scrolling speed via the "control panel". It markedly increased my efficiency in completing the task, and shortened the tedium for me.
I found the whole situation mildly satisfying.
