I do like Bud Light being reintroduced to the UK for the first time in 16 years!  Yes a lot of people say it isn't "real beer" and is just "flavoured water", and both statements are probably true, but it is a good beer to buy when you want a break from the heavy stuff and just want a cool drink that will relax you but not cause any problems getting out of bed the following morning!!

Should buy a little run around vehicle for about two grand and teach the dog how to drive, 

Haha!  That'd be a good excuse...  "Ghana, why do you have two vehicles?"  "Well, one is mine and the other is Pipper's"!

i seem to walk further than I drive most days.  Pipper's morning stroll is between 8-10 miles, her evening walk is around 5 miles and if like today, we have an extra afternoon one, that's another 5 miles.  In comparison, daily driving rarely goes over 4 miles!

You must be incredibly fit!  I was quite badly out of breath this evening just walking from Tesco to the Rover, which was parked half way along the car park (less than 400 yards).

Do you still smoke?  I recall you said that you did last year and I'm surprised that doesn't affect your breathing on long walks as it does with me.  Mind you, my breathlessness is probably more to do with my sedate lifestyle rather than smoking.

Walking is much better for your health, wallet, and mind than driving!

Tempted to try one!! I've only ever had the normal Bud before, wonder how it compares to that or even Fosters... lol

It's similar to Coors Light.  A very mild beer, but good quality nonetheless.

I do like getting my repaired phone back today. Life has returned to normal, lol.

I do like realising I've done over 500 miles in the Rover 623 since buying it 11 days ago, and every mile has been a pleasure with no problems at all.  The usual nagging pain in my left leg has completely gone and I have minimal back pain.  If we had a driveway I would actually take the 405 off the road for this summer and just drive the Rover, but alas not so I have to keep both cars on the road, and try to drive both equally.

Working from home [emoji6][emoji6] need some work on the Lexus infotainment system.[emoji23]

Following home from work a rally replica Lancia Delta Intergrale.

It sounded so nice, it was a shame I couldn't get a photo of it. I'd love a rally spec mk2 escort.

mmmmmm lancia integrale. Very nearly got one back in the 80's. Got the audi quattro Coupe turbo instead.

What work is needed on your cars infotainment system Ken? Have you joined the Lexus owners club? It's very very good.

Nice!!! Another Rally icon I've got such a soft spot for most of the classic 80's rally cars.

Yeah I joined very nice bunch. It was unresponsive but my mate just fixed it sort off. You cannot replace the original touchscreen so what he does is place the new screen on top of the old one and connects the new ribbon. Works perfectly now.

I do like I've brushed most of the pink stain out of Pipper's shoulder fur today.  She still has a light rosè blush but it's getting paler with every groom 

My mate suggested massaging her shoulders with peanut butter, mayonnaise or olive oil to get the remainder out, followed by a regular dog shampoo.  Which he said worked wonders on the residual paint on his labrador's tail; following an incident of wagging next to a wet radiator, and going unnoticed until it had dried on 

I wonder if crunchy peanut butter would be better than smooth 

I sort of like that it was only the power steering pressure switch seal that was causing the oil splash trail up the drive rather than my initial thought of a cracked sump.

 

I do like passing another V-reg Rover 600! What are the chances of that?

One in a few hundred I'd say.

😂😅 😭😂

Our two year old Son has been crazy about craines for the past month anywhere he saw a teleporter or craine he's going mad "craine" "craine"

 

So this week I thought id get him a bruder branded Scania truck which has a craine on the back, 

I was planning a 45 minute trip to the toy shop today and it was going to cost €80 for the toy.

 

Last night I thought of searching the brand "bruder" on a local advertising site and found a seller 20minutes away from us selling the craine I was planning to purchase for €35 and other bruder branded items for various prices,

 

So I messaged the seller and met them this morning at Aldi car park bought all this for €100 and our son is absolutely delighted as am I to get what we wanted and help someone else out at the same time, 

was funny as our son thought we were going to the toy shop to get a crane, so when I parked in at Aldi he was saying "no leonar pleaz shop crane" 😅

 

 

 

There a bit dusty but I picked up pack of detol wipes in Tesco going to clean them all up👍

 

Our son wouldn't leave the crane in the car at Tesco had to get a trolley and thake him in along with the crane😅

 

So you bought them for your son Lenny? You absolutely sure? lol. Bargain though. Enjoy :-)
