It means , warm your hands on it quick as it’s totally useless once it cools down
Don’t think I’ve seen one as bright before???

Cheers Colin. Amazingly so considering she's not had a bath in 5 months! I don't know how she does it.. or why anyone would buy a grubby looking black one!

There's no black streaks under the windows have you kept her under cover all winter?

No. I'm ashamed to admit I go out every day and wipe the streaks off . I have a soft microfibre cloth I keep by the front door specifically for that purpose . The streaks are faintly showing now so will need polishing off, I've scheduled a full bath and polish next weekend if it stays dry

Well I haven't posted much over the winter. I find the dark winter months a struggle to be honest, my mental health tends to go downhill and I become somewhat withdrawn. Living alone and having no family contact doesn't help (although when I read stories like the ones above I should be grateful ). I spend most of the time just trying to hang on until spring when I convince myself things will get better. I've also had back problems and covid (again FFS) over the last few weeks to add to my generally fucked-off demeanor . I note no-one missed me

However, in good news, the Kami Van passed her MOT without a hitch a couple of weeks ago, spring has arrived and it's even been sunny the last couple of days (wrote this on Sunday but couldn't post as forum down) as it's been sunny today and I'm feeling a little better I took the van out for a drive, lunch and a cup of tea in the back and a little stroll in the sunshine by the river at Abingdon, which has lifted my mood considerably. I'm looking forward to getting out and about in the van over the rest of the year which to be honest has been a lifesaver for me. Sorry for the long post, hope you don't mind me sharing.

After the winter just gone I'm convinced I'm affected by SAD. The longer days and warmer sun got me off my arse for the first time since last year. I can now come home from work and do stuff

 

[Bob Edwards]

if you do have SAD you can get special classes that have a UV light built in or get daylight bulbs to help relieve the symptoms

 

[Highway Dave]

Still in Skeggy , sat in the caravan and can’t help but think the friggin roof might blow off any minute, bins , plastic chairs etc flying around and my bus is sat outside
Anyone also got wind lol

I've got daylight bulbs in every room but as it has taken me 5 months to get off my arse to build the shed I had nowhere to work on "projects" and it was too dark and miserable to do anything worthwhile with the Elgrand...

PMSL @Highway Dave Us lads eh, making lasses angry ever since Adam played left back for Israel

It probably asked Mikkb if he was driving a Bongo or VW... It's lucky it didn't ask Bob or that slice of toast would barely be visible and the pigeon wouldn't be sitting comfortably...

I had an aged aunt who would knit shit like this..... I want one

Tell her you can't remember and she needs to jog your memory.
After all what else are you going to do on a night like this?

To quote SWMBO "It's blowing a hoolie outside". I can hear a neighbour's back garden furniture moving around.

a WTF that might save some people money, my Philips Sonicare tooth brush started to be noisy and over vibrating. Cost of similiar new one £209 (reduced from £329) (?).

FFS decided to strip the offending handle (head) down, bit of a challenge but with the help of Harry YouTube, managed to strip down and find that the head drive shaft had sheared. New head drive shaft on ebay £8.95. Fit new shaft (1 small screw) and now it's as good as new and £200 saved.

A £200+ toothbrush WTF?!?
