A right now thread

Just had a Chinook fly over my house at a very low level, hugging the treeline into the park opposite. The only time I've seen flying like that over residential areas was along the NI Border. Visibility isn't great either.
I'm in Sussex and nowhere near an airbase so WTF is going on?

Are you due a vaccination?

I'm sitting at home feeling wiped out!! Just back from Physio and have had 4 more exercises added to the 'list' that I do twice a day. The new four are a little more challenging that the 'old' ones!!

Watching proceedings against Trump in the Congress.

Does look like Trump's going to be impeached a 2nd time which will prohibit him from ever running for public office again. Which would of course suit the Republican party who want rid of him so I think they'll probably (?) vote for it in the Senate. What an amazing year: Brexit, Covid, and now this. Whatever next one wonders

Watching the chase, I’d go down like a sack of shite

If you point an old TV remote control at them it'll frit up their equipment.

Just watching Trump getting impeached in the House. First President ever to be impeached twice.

Next it goes to the Senate.

It's almost like they wanted him to lead the angry mob and left the doors open for him! More division in a very volatile USA, I dont see this ending without more bloodshed.

6:20am. Just finished clearing up a pile of cat crap in the playroom. The youngest child locked the cat flap so the Moggie couldn't get out. She did it on some toy farmyard animals and a plastic fence. Thankfully she 'buried' it with a cushion.... While this was going on said child came down stairs and caused the dog to start barking. Child sent back to bed, dog told to STFU. When I came back in to the kitchen and stopped gagging the puppy looked at me, looked at the back door, looked at me again and proceeded to empty her bowels on the kitchen floor. Talk about a shit start to the day...

Keep the cats and dogs away from them.

Scratching my head over the logistics of getting the IT infrastructure set up a new office in Lviv, Ukraine without being able to go there. Dealign remotely with local ISP and contractors who don't often speak English, borders are shut, up to 40% import duty on any new kit shipped in etc. We've closed an office in Krakow and need to move kit from there, it sounds like it's going to involve some creative customs forms and brown envelopes.

Just been Googling Lviv and I'm gutted I can't go out there at the minute, looks a really amazing place with tons of history and culture, sort of a Silicon Valley for Ukraine. Then I scrolled down and saw it's twinned with Rochdale...

Is the duty reduced for 2nd hand kit?

I hope so as we're trying to lift and shift all the infrastructure from a closed Polish office to the new Ukraine one.

Never work with kids and animals.

Getting ready to head to Armageddon, or the M1 as it’s know!! Rain, wind, and the weathers crap too. Lots of stuff to get done in the office before I head out to play in the traffic. Last one on duty then 3 rest days, during which I shall create as below!!!

Just came in for a bacon and egg sarnie and a cuppa. I'm 3/4 of the way through sorting my Wife's car's brakes. I put new front discs and pads on the other day but the o/s/f is binding. So as I'm putting new rear pads on, i'm going through all of the calipers and cleaning up the carriers, pins, shims etc.

I need to put new pads & disks on the back of my car but I'm too worried I'll get an unexpected problem and then I don't have a 2nd car to go and get more spares with. I also don't have a completely flat area to park it and it's rear wheen drive so I think off to the garage it is, I hate admitting defeat over something that should be simple.
