Tim Hortons Lunch

I had some "lunch" from Tim Hortons.  They are really not endearing themselves to me.  It is more expensive and not better...

London Daytrip

I had a day trip in London for work.  They shortened the train on the way down, so I stood the whole way, that wasn't good.  So exhausting, physically and mentally...

Real Panic

Real panic is when you lost your car key in the cinema...  It fell out of my trouser pocket, maybe I need to wear everything on a lanyard...

Disassembling Blender

I got my blender from freecycle, and I had it for nearly 10 years!  I only just worked out how to take it apart further!  Gave it a proper clean!

Warranty Replacement Coat

I got a new coat a few weeks ago, and some of the stitches are already loose.  It was lucky that I kept the receipt.  After talking to the customer service, I took the coat back.  Except the replacement I got actually had some factory error!  Another dud, not structural per se, just a bit of an eye sore.  I will give it a good breaking in the rest of the month, and I don't be shy in taking it back.

Power Ups

I got an email for free electricity, but noone else did.  I made the most out of it, baking, electric heating.  They better pay up....

Newcastle Metro

The Metro day ticket is a real bargain, I took 4 metro journey plus a ferry ride, all for less than £6.   When public transport works!

Missed Sewing

Just when I had all the loose ends sewn, I opened the drawer and saw my mismatched coloured trouser legs stitching...  They have to stay this way for another year...

FX Volatility

The tariff threats and central bank interest rate movements are really upsetting the foreign exchange market, OR it is the best time to make some bets!

Chocolate Covered Coffee Beans

The last time I got chocolate covered coffee beans, they were from a market for Christmas stocking fillers.  I finally came across them in a more reasonable location, Grape Tree, and they are quite nice and addictive!

Digital Cameras

After much convincing, Sarah finally threw out two very old digital cameras.  It is a shame, but if they have not been used for the last 10 years, I don't think they will be used ever.  Their accessories is equally outdated, the SD card with 240MB capacity and a tiny pouch are absolutely no use for anyone...

Cinema Recliners

We went to a cinema, and the standard seats now come with a motorised recliner!  It was fine watching the moving lying down, cannot complain.

Toy Vacuum

I bought a cordless stick vacuum.  Haylie and Sara were not sure it would last.  Eighteen months later, it had died.  I think it is the motor, but I cannot disassemble it to have a look, nevermind...

Whilst researching for the new one, there is a very cheap Dyson in Argos, if you read the details, it is literally a toy...

Ludicrous

I only started watching Pokémon.  It is absolutely more ludicrous than Dragonballs.

And we watched Detective Chinatown 1900, it was as ludicrous as we expected it to be.
