Don't make me go back down there again. I have just about recovered from the last trek.

I will add, while it might sound like I'm a hero doing lots of jobs, while I'm doing them jobs the missus is minding a one and a three year old which would tire the sh!te out of you too.

Yeah, I think I'd definitely cope with chaos in the kitchen better than a 1 and 3 year old. One at a time, maybe. Both together - not a hope!

There's a series based on it too, not sure if it's any good.

Awake with vestibular migraine. For me, the most excruciating kind. Feel like my brains ate trying to explode out my ears.

Lovely relaxing day, just about to order a few new books online to see me through the next few weeks, love going through the lists and seeing what's been released.

I would love a big bag of paperbacks from a charity shop and I have two big boxes to give to them but not a chance now. The ferrymen are already doing so much extra, with cocooning folk , and I am all at sea out here

And on a scale of 1-10 bookless all at sea rates not even a 1.

I’m serious, few months ago in one of my hotel stays, the brand new washing machine wouldn’t work, so i just added water through the powder slot and away it went. AFAIK, most machines have a limited water amount, so it will just sit there waiting for you to add a sufficient amount of water.

But hey, if you prefer washing by hand with the sea breeze in your hair, then go for it

Monday mornings, oh how I hate them! At the desk in work sipping a coffee and trying to wake myself up. Good fun on the way here with a tractor doing around 40km/hour on the motorway, he was causing pure mayhem.
He looked happy enough himself though, he couldn't give a sh!te!

You've got to admire the brazeness of people like that. Pootling along as cool as a breeze while everyone around them is apoplectic with rage. Big happy, easy going heads on them when they eventually wave you on with a nod!

May hen here this morning and the fun hasn't even started. Plumber has arrived to look in the hotpress and has gone to get some parts. Himself has gone to get the new washer. The one I wanted wasn't in stock but have plumbed for a cheaper one with less bells and whistles that I'll probably never use anyway.

Still migraine but not as bad.

You said to take the machine outside? Superwoman I am not! It is neatly fitted in to its space and there is no way I could move it. And I do not have a power extension that would reach a socket. Just not feasible. The door is down a long corridor.. not like in a hotel room?

A washing machine is a sheer luxury anyways. It really is to my generation. If it ever gets done, fine, if not fine.

Thank you for the thought!

Is it a luxury to your generation? Washing machines have been commonplace since the 50s! Even my gran had a washing machine most of her married life and she's 101. Now dishwashers are still seen as a luxury by some. I can understand that but personally I'd hate to have to function without either. I am a lazy sod though!

It's an artistic masterpiece.

Maybe a hot shower will help. Hope it sorts itself out!

Morning Wherers! I enjoyed a technology free weekend again! It's such a great break! Also helped move my housemate out. Officially living on my tobler!

Anyway, I was too lazy over the weekend to get up for sunrise, so here's this mornings offering, a bit of a weird one! It's like the sun is a beam from a lighthouse!

This sounds like it's worth a watch!

Only 2 films ever bothered me; A Serbian Film and Martyrs.

Surreptitious

Last Rites scared the **** of out me but it's old now. It's based on true stories of possession in Rome.

'Come and See' is not an easy watch, Dave. It chronicles, through the eyes of a young boy, what happens when the Einsatzgruppen (sp) roll into a little Belarussian village. It's a totally immersive experience, and as Seph said, you would be traumatised after it, literally. I've seen it once many years ago and haven't forgotten any of it. I'd never watch it again but think it's essential viewing. To me, it's the most effective anti-war movie in existence.

Well, I've a new washing machine! The one I got has exactly the same spec as the one I was going to get but isn't in stock but because it's the end of a line (it looks a little different to the new model) it was €100 cheaper!

Plumber's been and gone. New and improved hot water tank and the kitchen ceiling won't fall in! Now all I've got to do is sort out the mess!

I am going to watch it this evening. There's another absolutely shocking War movie called Men Behind the Sun, I should have mentioned it in my last post as it's a true story, but it's horrific. It should definitely be seen, it's about experiments carried out on Chinese people by the Japanese.

How are you accessing it? It's very difficult to find it online but then you know about these things, don't you? Be prepared. You say 'Martyrs' got to you, it's like Bosco next to this.

Everything is somewhere on the internet I see it's on Amazon, for £27!! Pricy!

Yeah, Martyrs got to me, but not in a shocking way... more like, how do people think of this stuff? Kind of way.. I'll report back on Come and See after.

The DVD I got of it years back didn't have the English name on it but still had English subtitles. The entire film will be streamable online somewhere if you look for Idi i Smotri.
Haven't seen Martyrs yet, so that'll be my film for Monday.

I could never find it. Is that version on Amazon the new 2k copy released this year? I was hoping someone would've uploaded it.

Ooh thanks for the film suggestions lads! I hadn't heard of "Come and See" but will give it a go. I've watched A Serbian Film and found that disturbing alright. Never seen Martyrs but heard of it. Will also check out Men Behind the Sun. I had previously planned to watch something soppy like Me Before You but it seems things have taken a darker turn

I have wine for tonight and I'm making a lasagna and now I have my film picked out too!

Someone please message me with the names of the last few movies mentioned, I'm far away from home and too tired to try compile a list on my phone. How greedy of me sorry.

Oh and my movie suggestion is Once Were Warriors

Oh the post migraine fugue. It's like someone spiked your tea with a handful of sleeping tablets. In some senses I find that the most debilitating symptom. In the end you have to cave in and sleep!

Well, I've just put my first load into the new machine. Easing her in gently with a delicates cycle with the spin function off. I'm delighted with meself! Ich bin ein Hausfrau!

A decade old is within reason. I was a grown up 10 years ago and would still be recognisable (a bit podgier than i was then but I was already a podger, though) from a pic that old I'm talking about people pushing 50 with a profile pic taken over 25 years ago in their Madchester gear!

Another headache sufferer here this morning, my head was pounding and it got worse every time I moved,I took one old antibiotic and a panadol and it cleared up after about an hour, I felt awful nauseous with it also,I never normally get a headache unless the weather is thundery, I hope its just a once off.

Fabulous day here but I only put the washing on after work so I won't be able to hang it out and the forecast is for rain. Plodding through the days here atm, should have been heading to Italy this weekend so feeling down about that, also I need to cancel the annual leave that I had booked for it as it would be a waste now but finding it hard to do it, I might just take one day as a treat, its exactly 6 months today since we first went into lockdown , still hard to believe the whole situation imo.

Stupid seat belt sensor gone haywire, keeps beeping . When the seat belt is on .
