I’m still swimming! Solar panels happening in 17 days.😬

A kilo of treacle toffees is 13 quid on Amazon. A kilo of hypothetical fantasy treacle toffees cost even less.

Crap? It’ll be delicious, especially with the little bursts of sweetness of the prunes.😋

Made that at catering college in 1982, prunes & all. Also, Sole Veronique with chilled grape halves between the fish & the sauce.

I’d been stressing all week about two bits of outstanding admin. Related to solar panels and to tax. I’ve just done them in an hour & twenty mins. Including realising I have Airdrop & Maildrop & using them both. Everything involves working out how to do something so I can do something else. 🙄

It’s absolutely hideous, isn’t it? Be fun to put it in the front garden to shock the neighbours though. 🤣

Garden ornaments. Planet of the Apes for £9450.00 … or smiling pebble-cat at £29.99? The first is reduced from £11,700.00.😳 And is a bit bigger.😆

Cos of course the only reason for going anywhere , or doing anything, is FOOD. I’ve been putting this little trip off for two weeks now. Eventually I’ll crack. Perhaps Wednesday. 🤔

Every day I think I should go somewhere where there’s people cos if I keep staying in on my own it’s going to be a massive shock to going the airport to fly to Italy next May. Lancaster on the bus with my soft plastics recycling to M&S, which means a load of delicious food?

I think this is telling me I’m average height for a man. 😏

Assembled! A two man job done by one large determined woman. 💪🏼 Took about an hour, which included watching three YouTube videos, to check I was doing the tricky lid part right, and telling two ‘Jay-Hoover Wetnessies’ that I wasn’t interested in their bible study classes, thank you.

The poolroom porch is complete!👍😊

Just ordered this garden storage box for my patio. I only do about 15 mins gardening a day but I have a lot of accoutrements that I need tidied away but at the ready.🤣

Sal @salpage.bsky.social · 18/09/2026

It is! It’s just a plain one cos I hate the smelly ones.😬

This is what we’re supposed to be sleeping in these days. Big NO.

Hollow flipping laughter. Butter does not keep 9 months. Two to three days of many slices of buttery-marmitey toast then I’d be back where I started.

So sarky.🙄 I’m thinking of doing a proper Italian course. With the OU.

I’ve reached the stage where ancient & interesting newspapers found under carpets are from 1987. 😏

Pebbledash done. Half of new house number sign (chosen cos it hints at what’s in the garage) cos you’re not supposed to put your address on. 🤷‍♀️

Those will be some extremely rubbery eggs.🍳😬

The end of my postcode, when I say it over the phone, sounds like FP or FB so I’ve started saying Sierra Delta straight after for clarification. Think I might change my name to Sierra Delta. Or maybe Clari Fication. 🤣

Sal @salpage.bsky.social · 01/09/2026

Argh! We just have to put up with it. They have one at the road end of the drive and one on the patio. It’s just noise. One day to go after today. 🙄

Sal @salpage.bsky.social · 01/09/2026

I’ve just googled. There is such a thing as a builders’ radio! Learn something new every day.

Sainsbury’s delivery man : you’ve had your dashing done. Me : Yes. Sainsbury’s delivery man : They’ve not finished … Me : They will next week if it stops raining. The whole world thinks this should all have been done 47 years ago.😬

Sal @salpage.bsky.social · 28/08/2026

Looking at the weather forecast, I can’t see a non rainy day in the next couple of weeks for the last of the pebbledash job to be completed. When is the Indian Summer arriving? ☀️ But … the solar panel installation is booked for late October.🎉😱

It actually asked me if I wanted to update while I was trying to do my lesson🤷‍♀️

I assume the Duolingo owl ate a few too many voles last night & now it’s having a relaxing detox day.

Rain stopped play for the pebble-dashing again today. Just the poolroom porch, the plinths & bits around the windows to go. Ive got the lingo! Tomorrow looks hopeful, especially in the morning. As my mum used to say ‘Rain, rain go away. Rain on Auntie Sue in Spain.’

Tim Curry has done to Dolly Parton what Prince did to Victoria Wood ten years ago. Not intentionally but even so …

This is the location of the company doing my solar panels. Outstanding in their field.

Why builders shouldn’t just throw everything in the skip, including the remains of their lunch. I think it was chicken bones in there. That’s a bird eating another bird.😬😱

I love that she dressed like that plus the hair and make up from copying the style of a certain woman in the town AND so that she could go unrecognised when dressed down. Very smart.

Sal @salpage.bsky.social · 24/08/2026

Shush … I have some of them in the tin. But they are builders biscuits. Nowt to do with me.😏🙄

Sal @salpage.bsky.social · 24/08/2026

Thanks. He originally said 2 weeks but I know the different bricks on the kitchen extension held them up cos it was so hard to remove the old stuff. And as far as I know they’re being very thorough.🤷‍♀️

Sal @salpage.bsky.social · 24/08/2026

Last week he said ‘by the back end of next week.’ They’ve not started the pool room porch yet and there’s still nearly half of the side to do. They laugh a lot, which is nice except I’m not laughing. Faith’s here for tea and the solar panels man is here before that.😬
