Break for the Border

Two new borders dug 20m x 1.5m, thanks to yours truly (oh yes) and 2 cubic metres of our 2yr old compost, dug out by Mrs Muscle herself.

The result, very pretty (well it will be) and only 3 more borders to dig out.

Hurrah

Well it’s taken 3 months and a pandemic to complete “that bloody jigsaw” says Mrs Fogg

Souper!

What a souper device. Simple ingredients into a soup maker and 20 mins later awesome soup!

So impressed with this little gizmo.

Still No End In Sight

So after 3 months, Mrs Fogg still has a way to go with her 2000 piece jigsaw. Apparently all the bits of the sea look the same

First signs of spring

Today is the first time it’s been mild enough to use Fogg Cabin and sit with the door open. Birds singing, daffodils blooming and early shoots of buds on the fruit trees and hedges.

Now all I need is a fit man to bring me a glass of chilled Prosecco……

Can He Build It

Yes he can, but very slowly. 8 months elapsed time to do a Lego kit, with the majority done in the last few weeks. But oh so cool. A Harley Davidson FLSTF FatBoy

Oh and for those still on with their 2,000 piece jigsaws, Mrs Fogg has almost finished hers after just over a week!

Weekend entertainment

For Christmas I got a Lego kit to build Bond’s Aston Martin DB5. So cool. And as part of it I got the wiring kit to install lights too!

Talk about fiddly, but tada!!! All done and how super cool.

Never Give Up, Never Surrender

I like a good fight and keep my teeth sunk in until I win.

Back in 2009 I paid for an extended warranty service on my car, but the company overcharged by 1p, so I started fighting until they got so miffed that they actually taped a 1p piece to a complement slip and sent it first class (it’s the principle you see, if they overcharge everyone by 1p).

Roll forward 10 years and I switched the company bank from a terrible Scottish one to a more tech savvy one, since The Scottish one are so antiquated that you can only view your account from a PC, only between certain hours and they charge for every incoming and outgoing transaction. In the process of switching in April 2019, The Scottish one failed to transfer the 64p interest owed to my company, so I started another battle. After countless emails, registered letters and calls being ignored, I escalated it to the Financial Ombudsman Service, who found in my favour and instructed The Scottish one to pay up (back in November 2019). The bank missed agreed deadlines to settle, made excuses about only one person in the entire organisation being capable of signing a cheque, it was snowing somewhere in Europe and climate change had caused the loss of paper to print any more cheques (well maybe a slight exaggeration on that).

So, annoyed at the lack of ownership by the bank I was starting legal action, then as of by magic this morning.

The moral, never give up, never surrender!
