Seemingly trivial things that annoy you

This has reminded me that I think I might have left an opened jar of jam at the back of the (turned off) French fridge... I hate jam so I try to remember to ask guests who have opened a jar to take the remains away with them. I suspect that there might be some interesting life forms in the jar by the end of December. I'll call it an experiment rather than bad fridge management.

Can you wirelessly charge it?
I've only ever had that message when there was water in it after I got caught in a downpour and a quick swab in the charging port with some twisted up kitchen roll was enough to clear it out.

I was going to up the ante and say we have 3 fridge freezers but you've already trumped me. I might have to buy a beer fridge now.

One of those walk in freezer type rooms would win it for you.

Now there's a thought. Sadly the space we would need for that is now taken up by a sauna.

I don't suppose my wine cellar counts? (Sadly it's only got bikes and garden equipment in.)

It's an android (or perhaps Samsung) bug, and you need to clear some cache or other. Is easily googled, but if it is out of juice you may have a catch 22.

I don't think you can include a shed in this competition.

If I put wine racks in my basement, does it become a wine cellar? If so, how much value does it add to my house?

Yep, PITA. I don't have a wireless charger to try either and not sure if the phone has wireless charging (it's my own old one as the company was too tight to sort one out for me).

Yes. Not much.

It's more of a garden room anyway. I'd get more value if I put a yoga mat and some pastel coloured weights in there and called it a gym.

I suspect that a local phone unlocking mobile repairer would probably find some sort of solution, if it's an Android quirk.

Mine charges when it is off and I have had that message. I assumed it was just software that prevented the charging.
Have you tried compressed air? A tiny bit of pocket fluff will upset it.

The thing is, most people who are spending enough to consider having a proper wine cellar with some climate control, also want to show off to their mates, and manky brickwork, cobwebs and a dirt floor don't quite do that.

It's got vinyl kitchen flooring, a toilet, it's own heating system and fuse box, and lots of cupboards.
It might be bigger than Rick's house, may he rest in peace.
Suffers a bit from damp. Probably some coming from above,some from the side. And condensation.

And surely cobwebs and manky brickwork are the very essence of a wine cellar?
I've only seen one and it was climate controlled, but did have cobwebs and manky brickwork.

Can confirm for mine, dirt floor, lots of manky brickwork in vaulted shape, lots of cobwebs, no climate control. With no wine, I could turn into the world's tiniest jazz club instead.

How is your mum? Comfy down there?

If I'd taken her down there, she'd be comfy mixed in the dirt floor. But as I'm a respectful son she ended up scattered in the woods where she played as a girl. But thanks for asking.

Sorry. Got confused with a fruit cellar. Blame Hitchcock.

I didn't even accept the kind offer from the crem of having her metal hip as a keepsake. I think she would have been amused at the offer, had she been able to know. In any case, I'd forgotten just how much ash there is after a cremation... it was rather obvious where I'd done the deed. Oops.
0 -
Hate to tell you Brian, but those hip implants aren't reusable. You are going to need a new one for yourself.

How did you reply to the kind offer?
"Thanks, but I have some photos and nice ornaments?"
Or, "thanks but I don't have room"

The spreading of my dad's ashes turned into a bit of a comedy, starting with eventually getting the urn open outside on a windy day. You're quite right about the surprising volume of ash.

Depends if you can pull off the 'old money' east-wing-needs-a-new-roof dilapidation to go with it. Otherwise you need to go for the climate control and bespoke joinery.

I’ve just received my Mums. Yeah, a bit shocked at the amount though I guess it makes sense.
I have thought the scattering might be less easy than I thought!

Yeah, you need quite a big area to avoid ending up with a slightly undignified heap.
