Cold weather regrets

This room also had the final carpet to be removed from the house.

We found a receipt of some sort under the carpet, and it looks like it was fitted the same year the Soviet Union fell

So much sitting room redecoration progress today

And farewell ugly fireplace 🖕🏼

Moved the living room into the master bedroom, to make way for redecorating the actual living room. I kinda like it here tbh

I got a moka pot for Christmas but I’m not sure I can commit to reading the instruction manual *every time* I want coffee.

Help?

No Christmas without Juleskum

Christmas morning run completed

Probably a justified expense, tbh…

More crimes against airbricks uncovered after removing some plaster for a future extractor fan vent. Not even surprised anymore 🥱

I’ll be reinstating it to give my cavity wall some air. As a treat.

Ah yes we’re now in the season of my least favourite Apple Watch feature - let’s randomly just pause a long bike ride because the cold weather makes heart rate sensing unreliable

So that’s our gas pipe right there.

Apparently gas engineers don’t like this?? ? 🤷‍♂️

Some more iffy electrics left for us by the previous owner. I genuinely have no idea what’s going on here.

My ”a mugs guide to Geordie dialect” mug has finally been through the dishwasher so many times that the red text supposed to show the Georgie words has faded, leaving only a confusing patchwork of random English words

I could definitely be a brickie. Just look at this replacement half brick I just did?

A signup form allowed me to provide no gender, so I selected that option.

I guess this is my title now?

Bye, old bathroom 🥲

Right. Let’s see if we can work out what this pictogram is telling us.

Left: red background, easily recognised ’forbidden sign’. Don’t do the thing depicted. Don’t litter.

Right: blue background, nothing is forbidden. I’m encouraged to do something?

Use this cup to murder some turtles?

Spotted next to two recently dug ponds/mini lakes in Cambridge. Feels like the city council may have listened to @davegoulson.bsky.social 🙂

That’s a crazy amount of oil just for frying onions. Are you trying to kill me, bbc good food?

My unhinged opinion: these shouldn’t be painted

This was the original colour of our bathroom, apparently. Drugs as an explanation for a lot of things in this house makes a lot of sense now

One of the tasks for this tool is not like the others 🤔

I'll keep an open mind, though

Every screw can be a flathead screw when you own an angle grinder

These airbricks I thought were just a bit cobwebby were upon closer inspection actually siliconed-up. Spent a good hour pulling it out, and hopefully my cavity walls will thank me later

Previous owner was definitely not a floor layer. In fact, not even pretending to be one
