4 pm yesterday ..... "
Hi Gra, what you doin' in the morning? "
"
Got Pam's sister and her hubby coming 'bout half eleven Russ "
"
Oh we'll be back by then .... Tenbury again ... leave mine at 6.45 - back by 10.30 - two lifts "
arriving at 7.50 was completely wasted by a 15 minute wait at the gate

the unit we took out on our first visit'd been repaired/bodged back to a serviceable state ... huge lead time on a new bigger one so had to go back in
truck arrived as we sat it on the deck after lifting it out of where we'd dumped it a few weeks ago ... on and de-rig to set up to put it over the wall into the machinery pit in the usual spot.
John the site eng. says to Russ "
we've got you for the morning haven't we? " "
er no ... contract lift job .. load and off load into position is the RAMS ... why? " yer we go , can you just coming up !!

Russ'd told me on the way up that he had to be back for 11 -- expecting a call from Microsoft in the states - level 2 tech, trying to sort his new puter that'd sh1t itself two days earlier .. he'd spent hours talking to them the last couple of days and waiting for the circle of dots to finish going bloody round.
"
Well when you've gotten that back in spot can you just come back over here -- load those two conveyers onto the truck and off load 'em round the back into the scrap skip ? "
half a tonne max ... been cut in half and i'd have slung 'em in't skip with an FLT no sweat ...
"
well we've got no RAMS John, but we'll get 'em on the truck for you, but no way is my slinger getting in a half full scrap skip to unsling 'em ... bang 'em in with a fork truck off the lorry "


Chiller unit in position, de-rigged, re-rigged and four lumps of conveyor on the lorry (who's driver is NOT happy about the can you just either .. job to go to) and we're de-rigged and ready to roll by ten to ten. 10 o'clock we're still sat behind a barrier, waiting to get the **** out of there .. phone rings - Microsoft tech. - "
er - you're an hour early, still out on a job and no where near me puter " ...... had forgotten about the clocks going back and thought it was eleven!! would call back in an hour ..... barrier finally went up when John got back to us, paperwork sorted and we were gorrrrn ......
got back to Russ's just as the tech's on the phone - damn she was punctual .... left Russ talking to 'Jennifer' as he dashed indoors and I got the flock out of there, to get back and hour later than promised - good job the roads were quiet !!
In laws'd just beaten me, so got away with that one

.... just ...
leisurely lunch and some banter, 'fore Vicki arrived with the new little un for her aunty to have some time with ...
.......hell she is growing fast .........
and I went and collected Clara from school with Gareth (BIL) .. the girls went for a walk up the drive to see Henry the donkey and I'm left with instructions to set fire to the patio ... well Vicki's 'firepit' thingy .....

.... had a hell of a pile of fire going in it, by the time they got back for tea time ... and some post tea 'quiet' fireworks and sparklers for Clara ...

yes that's a machine vice holding the pyrotechnics stationary

... what you expect



Clara,
et al had an enjoyable evening ....
playing with sparklers and toasting / scoffing marsh mallows ...... yon 'pit' is still burning nicely
@Stock 
In laws legged it about seven .... Pam disappeared to bed 'bout an hour ago ... and i ain't gonna be long ... been a long day again
