Ohh bugger !
All afternoon I have sat here thinking how tidy the shack is and how much bench space I have.. but all the while thinking something is missing
Posted that picture and looking at it I realised the oscilloscope is still in the hall where I left it when I started clearing :mad:

Went down to Ilfracombe in time for high tide and dangled a couple of dive computers into the oggin, had replaced a battery in one by soldering it in and refilling with paraffin, never done it before and didn’t think I could solder that finely, surprised myself :),simple reboot by sparking across two terminals with 3volt coin cell and it fired up fine, both recorded a 7.4 metre dive for 39 mins, happy days seems all is well, found all the info on youtube.
Just have to wait for better weather to try it on a dive.

Had a very, very VERY productive Zoom meeting. :) :) :)

Sat in the car at the supermarket while Mrs B went in. I read some of Seve's autobiography while waiting. Useless book. RIP.

Spent a couple of hours finding a decent supplier of garage doors.

Today I had my flu jab.

My first visit to GP since we'll before covid stuff started.

Can't get in the door unless you're r an invited guest with an appointment listed on the clipboard.

All the seats have vanished from the "waiting room". You can't wait any more. The two more door guards at the access point to the GP offices tell you which room to go straight to.

Once finished you exit via the fire door - and two more door guards) to avoid "crossing the streams" - I guess ghost busters were right that it's dangerous to cross the streams!!!

Me and the wife had our jabs a few weeks ago, I’m fine, she’s got a sniffly cold, and she’s not the only one, I know of another 3 people who have reacted soon after their jab. Anyone else in here?

I will not have the flu jab, a few years back Father in law suffered a stroke because of it, last year eldest daughter had it then had almost four months of lethargy & colds.

Absolutely no side effects for either of us.

The flu jab is a bit like my old job - everyone would jump up and down when we lost a bit of money but everyone ignored the times it went right, which was 99.999999% of the time, and all the proactive management that was taken to get it right when it looked like it might be going wrong.

Who knows if a sniffy cold today would have been a full blown flu without the jab?

Had it years ago and felt a bit iffy afterwards. Didn't have it for a long time.
Cousin in another part of the country had similar affect at the time.
Must have been the strain, maybe?

Had it last few years no issues.

Put the hedgehog wheels on the golf trolley.

Eyed up where the incoming telephone cable runs before moving it - lazy git of an engineer ran a brown cable all over the front of the house rather than going through the attic, laziest,, shoddiest job I have seen for a long time.

Thought about getting the Xmas decorations down. Nah.

Settled down for an afternoon fest of golf, football and F1 while marvelling at how wet and miserable it is outside.

Bev & I went to Aldi, I had loaded the conveyor belt when Bev went ballistic, the guy behind had reached over me to pick up a divider, Bev really tore into him, reminding him of two metre rule, never mess with a woman recovering from covid.
