That's the way to do it Jan!

Heard a good one this morning. Our son in law L is a police officer and got a call to go to a local garage where a customer was kicking off.
He'd bought a car from them, had nothing but trouble with it and went back to complain He got angrier and angrier with the garage staff to the point where they called the police.
When L got there he said to the ranting man "Here, we know you - we just gave you a push!" :lol: :lol:

The angry customer's car had broken down again on his way to the garage to complain, and it had obviously pushed him over the edge!
He did calm down when L and his mate got there though.

Oooh! I messaged my hairdresser earlier to get her advice on possibly colouring my hair myself, choosing a colour etc. never having done it before. She messaged me back to say that she will mix up the stuff, talk me through the procedure, and then I can do it myself - collecting it on Friday!

Our government are debating at the moment, but it looks likely that the current state of emergency will continue until after Easter.

The borders between Portugal and Spain remain closed until after Easter.

I think with steak you really get what you pay for..... I'd rather pay a bit more and have it less often. And it pays to have a good butcher who knows how to cut the meat
