Ahhh, nothing like the sizzling of lime scale encrusted tap spouts in an acid bath on a spring Saturday morning.

Got round to repairing the garden gate that shook itself apart in the storms a couple of months ago. Ripped out all the old rusty nails, and put screws in. It's now about 3€ of wood held together with 10€ of screws.
TFW You watch the last of the foamy water go down the plug of the kitchen sink, and then spot one more dirty pan hiding in the corner.
We have a chimney balloon which stops drafts and allows the living room in our ancient house to retain an extra couple of degrees of heat in the winter.
Until we decide we want a cozy night with the fire lit (we are lucky that the previous owners retained the back boiler when they had the oil central heating installed).
So we end up lighting the fire once every three weeks and the chimney balloon ends up in the cupboard until April, negating the point of owning it.

Dear online #banking
I accept a lot of sh!t from you. Half loaded pages, content that keeps shifting, random logouts, a million cookies and endless pop ups for offers I don't need or care about.
But changing the file naming scheme of your statements may be your greatest crime. After ten years of "statement_MMYYYY.pdf", WTAbsoluteF is "MMM YYYY Statement.pdf"?
I swear I checked all the pockets for 'treasures' before putting them in the laundry.
#LifeHack: Don't store After Eight mints in a cupboard next to a similar sized box of individually packaged tea bags.
Rock'n'Roll Saturday night doing domestic paperwork:
- Updated land tax 
- Child B school paperwork
- Bank statements (oh sweet merciful flying spaghetti monster, why are bank websites so awful?)
- Insurance paperwork scanned and filed
- misc other paperwork filed
Why is it so hard to just clean /one/ room. Once I've started, I find it really hard to stop; I see just one more dust kitten or patch that needs cleaning. Then suddenly I'm in the process of cleaning half the house.

It's only taken a year after ordering the replacement part, but finally switched out the broken info projector on the dishwasher.

FOUND CAKE TIN UPDATE: The smaller (black coated one) wasn't worth saving. Had bits of rust, and then whatever I did to remove it caused more of the black coating to peel off. Don't want that in any cake. Off to the great recycler in the sky it goes.
The larger grey tin seems fine, cleaned up easily and only has a couple of cut marks on the base, otherwise ok.
I'm just going to vacuum up some of the most obvious dust kittens.....

An important #askfedi question: after washing up a colander; which way should it sit on the drainer?
The Unbearable Lightness of a freshly de-frosted freezer.
Ahh, secret agent Black Sock strikes again and has infiltrated the colours wash.
I love the relaxing sound of rain pattering on the roof, so soothing.
Oh wait, it's not raining. That's just the dishwasher on a baking tray. Near enough.
