New Good Morning Thread 2024

[Lou]

Morning All!

I thought it was about time to start a new Good Morning Thread. The old thread can be found HERE but is quite long so not as easy to find specific posts.

So tell us what you are up to - we like being nosy whether you are starting a new project or you have the day off lets hear about it! Feel free to add photos!

Today I am hoping to get some work done before running a couple of errands!

What is on your agenda? Any nice tiling work on?

 

[Cherie]

Waiting on summer, the cold of winter pushes me into hibernation mode.

Morning all.

Just had breakfast at the establishment (Weatherspoons) next to the Award Winning Queens Gardens, Newcastle (Under Lyme) not the one up near @Dave

Free coffee all day now so we'll see how this goes. Need stay on the coffee not the pop lol There are a number of, let's say morning drinkers, not drunks, having alcoholic slurps already. Don't know how they do it.

Anyway, I'm screwing around with all the ads again this week and next so they may pop up in random places the odd time while I then calm them down.

 

[Lou]

Here are the Queens Gardens complete with statue of Queen Victoria and banners celebrating 850 years of the town.

No flowers yet though but looks like they are planting some!

 

[Lou]

Tonight we have come to a tile painting and drinks evening! Here's my primer! I am a rubbish artist!

Finally above freezing, on our spring roller coaster. We just had snow a few days ago. Lol I was hoping to start playing with my door but my son and grandkids, dropped in for the afternoon. Going to try again tomorrow. Making a dutch door. Still have to grout a small half wall of tile. Can't even imagine what kids 3 to 7 years old would do with wet grout

 

[Dave]

2 bathrooms to grout today then off till the 9th. Caravan hols await.

Oh no I can imagine they get it EVERYWHERE!! Would love to see some pics of your door and tile.

I have just realised it is EASTER this weekend - which means in the UK Good Friday and Easter Monday are public holidays! I have created a thread for Easter chat here

 

[Lou]

Have a great long weekend everyone! If you are going away, send us a pic of a nice view!

 

[Lou]

Don't forget everyone that the clocks go forward tonight!!

 

[Dan]

@Dave 's team the toon had a wicked game. Caught the last 10 mins myself around a mates. He is 80 and was jumping around pretty much I had to calm him down.

3 nil down and a man went off, then got 4 goals! The grass looked shredded there must have been some right shady tackles.

 

[Lou]

Morning everyone! It is the start of another week!

I have a question, how many of you work away from home during the week? Do you stay in a hotel that is ok or a bit pants?

Crikey morning everyone! We had a tremendous storm from about 4am here! Had to run outside and rescue our cat from under a wheelbarrow! Heavy 🌧️ 🍃 and ⚡ ⛈️ too!

It's still super windy here now! Anyone else?

Just finished cleaning out rotted wood. Contemplating what filler to use on my door.

 

[Lou]

Morning tiler's
Clutch just went on my van
Good start to the day

 

[Lou]

Oh No, Sorry to hear that - that does suck. Have you booked it in at the garage?

 

[Dan]

Oh what a nice start to the week!!! You doing a rental while it's in garage? What make and year is it matey, need a hand finding a clutch for it online?

Edit: although eBay would take another week arrive it's gone terrible now on there! So maybe go with whatever basic clutch the garage suggests like. Was just going try save a penny or two but the time renting too offset it doesn't make sense at all. Just worked it out in my head on even 36 quid a day van 5 or 6 days there's your clutch paid for lol may as well get the clutch even if its 350 its still cheaper than a 150 one on ebay like. You get me? Ha

 

[bsc ceramics]

All done now, was just the linkage could'nt get it into gear so not as bad as first
thought. still a p##s off though

 

[Lou]

Glad it is fixed and was not as painful as you expected! Unexpected things like that are always the WORST!

Friday again, anyone watching the Eurovision?

 

[Lou]

Good Morning All,

How are you finding the ads at the moment?

Check out this epic WC I visited recently here!

Brilliant, where are you staying? I was up there a couple of weeks ago visiting family just outside York.

I was very pleased with Leeds United last night!
