The totally off-topic thread

This is Ron. Ron works for a major high-rise city accommodation builder and is currently on the phone disputing a structural report with engineers.

Apparently Ron thinks "the risks are acceptable" because "what are the chances of a wind or fire event like that happening".

It is like the end of the world when my two favourite English retailers get into a potential legal stoush. Waitrose has been warned about copying Hotel Chocolat’s Chocolat designs like Eton Mess.
Next there was a mention of KKD which is of course Krispy Kreme Donuts. I am unsure if the idea that the only reason they are not 100% fat is because of the sugar coating. That is probably a joke comment by a dietician or a thin person.

Don't be a Ron

You know some of those days when anything can go wrong and does go wrong?

Then you wake up and see the energy levels of your daughter.

AirBnB emailed overnight confirmation of booking cancellation and refund.

Thats a relief! Ive only done AirB once before with no problems so fingers crossed the next one wont cancel on us

@Denali, I haven’t been following your AirBnB reference, but I’d say that it is a good idea to only book ‘Superhosts’ if possible.

A combo of mother’s day and big football match this afternoon and my local shopping centre for groceries is busier now than at Christmas.

Our local WW was reasonably busy but not too bad. Helped I suppose that I only needed a few things. There wasn't the feeding frenzy that precedes Christmas or Easter.

It’s insane here. Couldn’t even turn into the car park and it was chained up Portrush Road which is extremely dangerous as that is the feeder road right up the freeway and through to the Eastern states and with multiple fully laden semi trailers at any one time.

Thank you. I read all 17 pages of reviews of the one I think i will book and just checked, he/shes a superhost.

we are having a leftovers day. Bought some caviar for Christmas which was never used as we ditched the girls and went to spend Christmas with Master FM,plus we have some bubbly left over from Ms FM’s wedding. Seems a good way to celebrate the start to winter,

Errr, not quite winter yet, but hey, I wouldn’t let that stand in the way.
Enjoy!

I bought new ugg slippers and wearing thermals already.

Well it's lovely blue skies at LHR today and a pleasant 10 degrees (hey, that's warm! ). Off to the Baltics for some wandering, then a quick visit back home to then pop over to Ireland for Mrs Flashback's god son's first communion.

Feels like winter - can’t believe I was still in a summer dress on Wednesday and I was freezing yesterday! The fur babies believe it is winter, as they are both on my lap

Our gardens are confused with it being blue sky and 32 degrees in Perth today.
