Robot vacuum

Why did we not buy one of these before now? We recently purchased a cheap robot vacuum cleaner – Eufy G50.

Wow, just wow, every morning we now awake to a dog hair free snug and a rug that is well coiffed 🙂

It is a really basic model but can be controlled by Alexa and is setup to automatically head out and clean while we all sleep.

It does need emptying each morning as the dust bin is only small (as you would expect of course) and we have no idea how long it will live, but for now it has blown our mind 🙂

Oliver’s wheels

So, this happened last weekend….

We are preparing for full service and brake replacements over the coming weeks, although Olly is straight into cleaning and finding out what needs doing before figuring out the order in which it all will need doing.

Seems a pretty good runner although there are most certainly some corrosion issues that need attention in relatively short order 🙂

Not bad for 34 years of age….

Terrific AppSense meet up

Shane Wescott arranged an AppSense reunion lunch for today over at the Village Inn, Warrington.

A few of us (Tony W, Bas B, Jorrit VE, Shane, Kerry and Simon) met up yesterday afternoon to enjoy some drinks and a curry at our favourite curry house (The Cottage).

it all felt a little like we had been talking recently and while a few are showing a few extra years, we are all clearly very good friends who recalled many laughs and plenty of great times.

A shame that others were not able to make it, but fear not, you were very likely discussed and we raised a glass to all.

We have 3 drivers in the household….

At approximately 16:20 today Elliot passed his driving test……..

At approximately 18:10 today Simon shat himself as the cost of insurance has gone up approximately 45% since we bought the car…….

So, we are no longer able to insure the car without a black (telemetry) box and certainly not at the eye watering price of £2,000. That’s right it is now approximately £3,000….

So starting tomorrow, we have a third driver in the household and a little box in a few days time to check that we are not going to drive more than 700 miles a month and that we won’t be taking corners hard or pumping the brakes etc
