    "We don't live in a high-rise with no balcony and our home is not in danger from forest fires; if the kids in the paddling pool next door are annoying him, he should sit in the front room where he won't hear them".

    Yes, but such sense will never get you very far B. Humanity has to grumble. It's how people remember who they are. It will always be too hot, cold, wet, windy, snowy, dry, or boringly average. We stomp around wanting the better car, the bigger/smaller boobs, the greener grass. It's an infinity list. There is a permanent semi-enraged sense of entitlement to have what we haven't got.

    You've got to admire the ingenuity.
    I once mended a scart plug with a match stick but I'm not in that league :/ .

    If it is any consolation to Lyn, while we had a thunderstorn last night, t'interweb was rubbish. Hubby couldn't upload the work to the man (on holiday ) who had to have it in his inbox when he got back next week. He did manage to pay his income tax on the  government site though.

    I see the "are you annoyed" thread is going the same way as the " Euthanasia " thread.

    I'm sorry about your Dad, Fire. 

    B3 - just showed that to OH. We don't have hot water in our kitchen (long story). He now has a rather thoughtful look that worries me....

    Mixed emotions Fire, a difficult time for you, commiserations. 
    It rained here last night which was nice but it's going to do it again tonight only more so. Now that's great but I shan't be able to see the blood moon. That is just flipping annoying. Grrrrrrr

    In my experience of seeing a fair number of them over the years, you're not missing much. We keep hearing of " blood red " , but , those I have seen have merely been a slightly muddy brown.
