No, but I read that you can put fresh manure in the bottom of your planter and as it rots it generates warmth which stimulates growth and you get nice big veggies. 

Tomato : a ripened flower ovary that contains seeds. AKA a fruit
Cucumbers are fruit too

Steaks, pork chops, bacon etc are NOT fruit and are OK to eat 

Damn, I should have written nice big fruit and veggies to thwart the pedants! 

There's one in every village

Just went online to sort out insurance for the Boxster. Ended up going with Tesco via Topcashback.
£182 and £45 cashback to come.
Got to the point of paying and then got the Natwest authentication message, which is normal.
Waited for the code they normally text to my phone but it never came.
Phoned the number provided when I clicked on the help icon, which turned out to be the fraud team.
Then waited for half an hour to speak to someone, before hanging up, as the transaction had timed out anyway, so I need to start all over gain. FFS ! 
Presumably will need to go back into TCB site first or cashback will be lost. 
Technology is a wondeful thing...............when it works as it should.

My 3D printer. Again. Poxy Creality shite.  Will take a lot to persuade me to buy any more of their crap in the future, grrrr.

But to make up for that, our 20+ year old doorbell failed.  Managed to get a replacement from the local DIY place that had the same screw hole locations.  What's the chances of that?  And change from £8

We've been in our house for 31 years and our battery door bell was already in there. It's still in there working ....


 but there again nobody calls

Looks like yesterday I hit the wrong button on a well known online retailer.  I thought I was getting a pair of DJI Mini 2 batteries, but a paddling pool turned up.  Upon checking my orders, that's what I clicked.

Bugger.

The prat in a newish Land Rover Defender 90 who parked right next to me at Strensham Services on the M5 northbound earlier today, despite the fact I had parked in the middle of acres of empty parking spaces just so that I didn't have to sidle down the gap and perform gymnastic contortions to get in my car!

One thing did make me smile though..... That Land Rover Defender 90 probably cost the prat £50,000 - £60,000 and he felt the need to use a massive yellow steering wheel lock!      My 16 year old Mondeo worth about £500 is probably harder to nick!

It's your subconscious rejoicing in the fact that summer is coming - sit down, dangle your feet in the nice cool water, enjoy a beer, try not to break anything, the usual routine
