I was chatting with my Mum a few months ago about cars, and it got me thinking about all the cars I’ve had a driving relationship with. I say that, as it doesn’t include other people’s cars or ones I’ve hired but ones that I’ve spent at least a number of months driving since passing my test in 1991. Quite a few have been company cars, although more recently they’ve been cars I’ve bought and pretty much driven until they died! Most of the earlier pictures are just ones found on the internet, but the later ones are the actual cars.

If you haven’t heard of this stuff, check out their website > https://sugru.com
I think I saw it advertised on Facebook a few years back, and at the time had a number of frayed cables that this stuff was advertised as fixing. It’s a mouldable rubber compound and feels a little like sticky Blue Tak when you get it out of the packet. It’s easy to mould into whatever shape you need, and after drying for around 12 hours just feels like rubber. Pretty sure they only did black and white when I bought some, but they now make it in a variety of colours and you can pick it up in loads of places, including Amazon. I’ve still got 2 of the 8 packs I originally bought, and whilst the expiry date is August 2016, it still works fine.

I can’t remember the last cold call I received during the day where I came from the call happy. I’m registered with the Telephone Preference Service (TPS) although this doesn’t seem to stop the endless stream of calls to help me claim PPI, damages from no-fault insurance claims, home improvements, etc. To be honest, the call in question was probably best described as a ‘warm’ call, as it was from Virgin Media and even though I didn’t ask them to call, I have been a customer for several years.

What a wonderful surprise! A good friend messaged me earlier in the week to check my address and let me know he was posting something up to me. It arrived this morning and was a bottle of Dalwhinnie 15-Year-Old Whisky. Do surprises get any better? I’ll let you know once I’ve had a dram this evening….
Another to add to my current whisky collection, which I blogged about here.

After my last post, I realised the next one would be my 50th, so thought I’d commemorate it with its own dedicated post!

After getting to grips with Alexa (well kind of) I thought I’d ramp up the home automation and get a Harmony remote to consolidate all my other remotes and allow for some further voice activation.
