  • Christ, I've just bought myself a lawn scarifier and a new sprinkler for the hose rather than use the 20 year old cast off hand me downs I've had from the parents.

    Aaarrrrrgggghhhh, I'm properly middle aged now!

    You're looking at a 240 year old watercolour painting of an old Woolwich scene with your Mum and realise she has been around for nearly 100 years of that timespan!

    Sandby documented a lot of London in the 1780s. This one of Charlton too.

    As a 70th birthday present I bought us a coffee maker that can controlled by my mobile, read the instructions but still can’t find out how you can get the cup under without getting up out the chair to go into the kitchen? (no you can’t put it under during the day as it rinses itself prior to making a lovely cup of coffee.)
