Unfortunately, it looks like I'm going back to work next Thursday so I only have a few more days to finish the game. Oh.

A 'neighbour' (someone I've never seen before, i.e. not a near neighbour), has just brought round a package with a Something for you' note saying 'In Blue Top Bin'. Obviously postie went to the wrong house, got no reply, put the parcel in the recycling bin and pushed a note through his letter box. Given that tomorrow is bin day we're lucky it didn't end up at the tip. My impression is that they think that as long as it's delivered vaguely to the right area, residents will somehow sort it out. And they are right, of course. |

And I know the near neighbours, either by sight or to speak to. This guy I didn't recognise. I don't know where he lives so wouldn't have thought to enquire there. |

Thanks for your 6d worth Felice Landry, every view point helps. I'm still going to try and drop in anecdotes how I might find someone to go out with in the old days and if tries them and finds they expand her circle of friends then great. I'm cool with her telling me to shut up. As I think you imply, you can't live someone else's life for them. |

So who is the tallest here? Not me I assume*, I'm 5'8". *If I am nobody told me it was a Munchkin board. 6'6" BigG isn't a boast. Then again I gave up on Dark Souls 'cus I couldn't beat the Taurus beast, so I feel small. |

I like the idea of small pretty glasses for Port/Sherry, though it becomes a bit embarrassing when you're topping up every 10* minutes. <edit>*at most. |

You stick the wide bit at the edge of some laminate flooring then whack the white bit with a mallet until the joints close up *. I think you can also lever up laminate flooring with the other end for re-laying.
* Or you put your shoulder out...

Because the laminate flooring in my daughter's bedroom has started to separate at the edges where it meets the walls. (You have to leave a gap at the walls when you lay it to allow for expansion in hot weather... ) The tool is for laying flooring but also closing the gaps in previously laid floors. |

I can barely see atm; apparently I've developed blepharitis... spending a ton on eye mist... I'm going to have to let my eyes rest. Am I reading too much of this stuff?
