That explains it, thank you.

Interesting story but poor grammar. 5/10

A pre-Christmas cocker spaniel dog walk with all our cocker owning friends this morning. This afternoon we took our grandson to his first panto. Cinderella at the Orchard theatre. He loved it!

Have a look at your own poor grammar first.

Struggling with eBay.

Sold an old mobile. Sent a message to the geezer that I was going to upgrade the postage to try and get it there sooner. Would have sent it off tomorrow. Then today he messages. Sorry, would like refund.

And the two things that eBay tell me I can do I can't seem to be able to.

One is to leave stinking feedback and the other is to offer the item to the guy who lost out to this person's bid.

The fees are stupid, but I can just about live with it when sales go smoothly. But when people do siht like this, it pizzes me off.

What phone was it?

Now the snow has all been washed away with the rain, I’ve been out in the garden picking up dog turds. I must have picked up a good four kilo's of the stuff this morning. Trouble is, I start retching at two kilos!

What phone was it?

Huawei P8 Lite.

Huawei P8 Lite.

Ah, I thought it might be a classic pre-GSM something or other.

My parents in law have got their first Motorola brick flip phone tucked away somewhere.

Took the credit card sized SIM.

I use a 'pooper scooper' thingummy and a shovel. It's like one of those disability aids, a stick with a trigger handle working a pair of scoops at the bottom end.

This morning, as usual, she was up on the settee, watching through the front bay window for the postie. I just happened to look out from the upstairs window, whist getting changed to go out. He seems to have started giving her a wave as he passes

Getting changed to go out for a carvery at a local town, quite busy it was, then a bit of shopping. I was particularly hoping to buy the dog a bone as a treat, because I've tried a few places recently and none to be had. Success, I found some in a shop called Heron, a pre-packed pork bone, so I bought a few.

I always bring her back any leavings from the carvery, in a zip lock type plastic bag I take along in my pocket for the purpose - so she had a smaller than usual carvery + some chicken pieces + some dry biscuit complete. I then gave her the bone in the utility room and off she trotted with it to her living room bed, to investigate it further. When ever she gets anything like that, she makes a point of bringing it out as if teasing me, by showing me what she's got, then running away with it.

Popped over the allotment to see how my Christmas dinner veg is coming on. Everything is fine - carrots, parsnips, spuds and sprouts but I did plant some more carrots late in July. I dug a few of those up today to see how they are going. Looks like I might have planted them just a little too late.

I just use nappy sacks. If some of it gets caught up in the long grass, I can just pull up a clump of grass at the same time. A pooper scooper might leave skid marks on the lawn.
