    My 5 year old knows nearly all the words to Bonnie Tyler's 'Heartache'.

    She's also condensed the Last Supper, Jesus's death (as a result of drinking wine apparently) and the fact that he could turn it into water(?)... It's all rather amusing. When I reminded her that previously she said that he was deaded on a 'eX', there was a dumb silence. You could hear the cogs whirring in her head.
    Faith schools eh?! :roll:

    My daughter used to know all the words to No More Heroes when she was about five. Now she’s sixteen and if she remembers them she certainly won’t sing along.

    Been following The A to Z of David Bowie podcast, no music just chatter about the story from Marc Riley and Rob Hughes, but has got me listening, courtesy Spotify, to Bowie albums from way back in the day, things not listened to in many many years. So far today has been Diamond Dogs, PinUps, and Man Who Sold The World. Yes I am that old.

    Watching Bompetta (8yo) negotiate a proper slalom course on her first ever proper day's skiing... then smashing into a snow fence at full speed with complete superman dive into a massive snow drift... then getting up and doing it all again (without the crash bit).


    She can sing, too.

    Coming up with an elegantly simple electro-mechanical solution for a seemingly fiendishly complex problem better brains than me have been trying to solve for weeks. YES! now where's that bloody fist pump emoji?

    Finally finishing the bathroom. Other half decided to get me to do it bit by bit so it all matches (or fits together how she wants it). So fit new bath and digital filler etc. Decide on tiles, wait 3 days for tiles, do tiling. Decide on fitted furniture style and worktop, two week wait while it is all delivered. Fit furniture and worktop. Decide on radiator. 1 week wait for delivery. Fit radiator. Decide on floorcovering, 7 - 10 days delivery (fortunately only took 4). Fit flooring, put bog in. All done apart from mirror which is still awaiting delivery. Could have done the whole thing in a week if we had bought the cheap stuff from B&Q.

    Oak flooring arriving tomorrow. I do like a project. And an excuse to add to my tool collection. A reciprocating multitool has suddenly become essential if I'm to trim the necessary off the bottom of the door frames neatly!

    I can forsee a thousand other uses for the thing so I don't think I'll buy too cheaply...

    Absolutely I bought the wee bosch one for the kitchen -- it has a semicircular blade and a straight one -- it also doubles as a sander -- it got a lot of use -- I made the mistake of buying a reciprocating saw thinking it would be good for cutting the lengths of flooring -- the one I bought was too big and agricultural to do the end cuts so I ended up doing the trimming by hand saw.
