UK General election 2024

Well, it looks like we are stuck with this man for the next government. You have got to blame the Tories for the complete shambles and frequent change of leaders and losing the way after 14 years in power.

 

The best result was that the SNP lost a vast amount of MP's this time round, and I think that the party are well in decline.
 

 

 So all in all it is a suck it and see what the next few years have to offer.

Temu

Amazed at the quality of this cardigan, bought from Temu and at £12. I don't know how they do it.

Am prepared for the colder months now.
 

Rebus

The latest Rebus book out in October, but orders being taken now. I have most of the Rebus novels, but I am missing 8, so to complete the set I have ordered the missing ones.
 

2024 election

 

The banner is so true, it is time to shake up the two party system, which has failed now for quite a few years.

Let's see what folks think on the 4th July

Summer 2024

 

Washer Dryer

 

This is the replacement Washer /Dryer installed as the old 17-year-old machine was past its sell by date. It is so different from the old machine which served well.

First wash done today, after waiting 3 days from installation due to the weather for drying outdoors being wet to say the least.

It is much quieter, more efficient and has so many programs to choose from. So far it has performed as per the instructions. The challenge will be to see if it lasts 17 years, like the old one, but I have my doubts.

New Specs

 

Decided to have a go at varifocal lenses, mainly to avoid having several pairs of single vision pairs lying about the house. 

Just been to find out about the ins and outs of varifocals, and visited Specsavers this afternoon, not gone for anything special, other than an upgrade from the basic lenses and of course anti-reflective coatings. 

I collect my first pair on the 13th June and then decide what to go for in the second pair deal. Fingers crossed I manage to get on with them OK.

Collected my new specs, near and mid distance is excellent, but not too impressed with the close up vision and definately no good for computer work, but I knew that before I ordered them.
