So How Was Your Day?

So today was Christmas tree buying day! We always make a nice family day of it. Putting up the decorations now whilst watching Elf.

Got to love real Christmas trees 🙂:evergreen:
 
Not a good day for me, Tiling hallway floor was 4 tiles short then a gust of wind from no where blew my pop up tent over knocked my wet saw, dry cutter and mixer over and snapped the poles for the tent, on way home some p**** in a van was on my side of the road and clipped my mirror and smashed it.
Roll on Friday
 
Been a relaxing day today, taken my son to a soft play centre to burn off some energy.
Is anyone else itching to get back to work or is it just me
 
Today I tried a Rubi TZ. Pretty robust machine, but the breaker system??? YUK! Its like a rachet. You have to give the handle two flicks upwards to drop the breaker and flick it again to bring the scoring wheel back down. I was trying it on a bench and unless you pull the whole system towards you, you need bit of reach required for it to work and you still question yourself as to whether you have it in the right position or not. They've had an idea to speed up the cutting process by trying to shave of a second or two per cut, but in practice, its failed and made it take longer. Very expensive and that breaker system if it goes wrong will cost a very pretty penny or two. Maybe I just need to get used to it, but as it stands, No Likey!
 
Nobody likes jam squishing out of their doughnut do they!!?? 😀

And it turns out I have scoliosis of the spine too which more than likely has worsened over the past 4 months.

Here I am feeling sorry for myself because of a sore elbow!
Got a steroid shot booked for Monday so will hopefully be work ready the week after.
Feel for you bud and hope it gets sorted asap.
You any idea when the surgery will happen?
How long a recovery is needed before your ripping bathrooms out again?
 
On the bright side








your kidneys look mint 😀
 
Haha! The surgeon said the same thing. That and what discs aren't screwed are very healthy! Sadly the scan did reveal I have scoliosis.... curvature of the lower spine. Great! 🙁

6-8 weeks for surgery if it is needed. A month or two recovery. Going to be a while yet sadly.
