Deposit at Hampstead Theatres | Tuesday, May 30, 2017

6:14 PM

Show #26 of #2017 (after an exhausting few weeks) is #Deposit, #MattHartley’s play about two couples sharing a one-bedroom flat in London for year in order to save up… First performed right here @hampstead_theatre #downstairs in 2015, it’s been revised with some cuts, older characters to add to the desperation, and rising prices. And #Brexit “is the unspoken monster at the epicentre of the play”. Great to be back here. #theatre #londontheatre #london

Bobby scanning the system for errors… Also, you can now get wifi/Bluetooth adapters for the COM sockets on your car and send error messages to your phone, and reset them too :) #projectallroad #audi #allroad #tuning

Thermomix Arrives | Sunday, May 28, 2017

So this THING is in the house. It is amazing. It chops, it weighs, it boils, cooks, steams, stirs, whisks and will hopefully render ever other appliance here redundant. It has set-by-step recipes on the screen which tells me what to do, because I’m a hopeless klutz when it comes to following recipes, but love technology. As long this isn’t connected to the internet, I’ll be happy. #thermomix #vorwerk #kitchen #appliance

Despite the ‘random’ bag search - surrounded by THREE coppers - beforehand, it’s the #FINAL! #Exeter were all over #Wasps before the fightback. GAME IS ON! #rugby #twickenham #asplayedinheavenbytheangels #union

Twickenham Stadium | Saturday, May 27, 2017

12:08 PM

Not been here since it opened, the redevelopment of the derelict #Twickenham #SwimmingPool, it was all boarded up when I was a lad and we used to climb up and peek through the gaps. Instead of being luxury flats, it’s a public space and play area with a coffee shop, and landscaped with a nod to its previous life. And they’ve kept what was left of the old diving board. Brilliant.

Dension Bluetooth | Friday, May 26, 2017

So this is the story of how you modernize an 11-year-old car, bit by bit. The engine has been remapped to bring it up to modern spec, more power, no smoke. Next: audio. While a six-CD autochanger was whoopie-doo twenty years ago, it’s a bit crap now. But step forward #Dension with a little black box that provides #Bluetooth and #IPhone functionality. Just need to wire it in. 1. Remove autochanger from glove compartment and detach optical cables. 2. Realize that entire glove compartment needs to come out. 3. Need to find a switched 12V feed from the passenger side fuse box. Put an extra feed in from the mirror supply. 4. Discover that mirror switches off too early so find an alternative feed. 5. Earth unit on a handy spot. 6. Plug optical loop back together and reassemble car. 7. Look forward to 17-hour drive to Italy next weekend. #projectallroad #audi #allroad #a6
