Smart Feeder - Light sensor values

[Guest]

I used to live in a student house in Beauchamp Avenue - I was at Warwick University - would have been - errr... 1982-1985 - summat like that!

 

Phil

[Lesley]

Probably didn't meet then - sometimes I forget how old I am

[Mel (& Paul)]

Great list

Great photos

Great debate!!!!

[Louise]

Never mind the old driving and parking arguments, who'd win a spider catching competition?

 

 

Richard T

 

I could probably win that hands down Richard

[Mel (& Paul)]

I think we've got them licked in this debate

[Cate in NZ]

Well done all of you with your pool, parking and spider catching skills.

Me, I can drive, park and catch spiders, driving's fine, parking and spider catching I'm OK at but not the best Perhaps my spatial awareness thingy is stereotypically feminine, certainly I'm not entering into any competitions with any of you

Pool I'm fantastic at lying by a pool on a sunny day with a book and supply of cold drinks . Does that count

[Mel (& Paul)]

like your style girlfriend

[Lesley]

.....and KateA and I are very handy with cement mixers and plumbing etc.

[Guest]

there's no reason why a woman shouldn't be able to handle a cement mixer - it's just like a washing machine - only with less program options and no need to close the door...

 

 

Phil

[Lesley]

That's why more men are able to use the cement mixer but can't operate a washing machine then

 

(excluding the men in my life of course - they're very well trained

[Cate in NZ]

Well said Lesley

[Lesley]

It's obvious Phil doesn't operate the washing machine - he's on this froum all the time - whereas, all us girlies are multi-tasking

er......... must go and um....... do some housework

[Guest]

You're right - I never use the washing machine (except for mixing up the odd batch of muck!) - far too complicated!

 

we have strict demarcation in our house..

 

I do all the washing up, cleaning, out-door garden-type stuff, bin-emptying, packed lunches, diy-fixing type stuff, dog-walking, anything chicken-related, shopping and baking, trps to the dump, talking to tradesmen and anything to do with the car..

 

we share general cooking and child picking-up/dropping off etc..

 

she does all clothes-washing, ironing and clothes putting away..

 

looks like I get a good deal then

 

Phil (but I wouldn't swap the missus for anything!)

[Lesley]

- I'll let you off then

 

I do all the cleaning, sewing, gardening and DIY - Carl does all the cooking, dishwasher duties and trips to the tip(and lots more).

I'm not allowed to the tip because I come back with more than I take

Aha, but there's lots of general domestic type chores not mentioned there Phil, like vacuuming, dusting, window cleaning, floor cleaning..... shall I go on

Perhaps she's doing all these things and you're simply not noticing .

Every right for her to start feeling undervalued there, so I'd watch my step if I were you

...quick mathematical point for Lesley...

I've been in a lot this week waiting for tradesmen - getting seven quotes for various bits of work - waiting for them to turn up - and phoning them when they don't show has left me chained to the house..

 

(the missus won't talk to tradesmen - they make her nervous!)

 

hence my increased posting-volume this week (not as prolific as the football list I belong to though...)

I've already answered this one Phil - we can multi-task I'm actually doing some tiling as I type

no Kate - all those things are included under "cleaning" - which appears under my list...

 

(still wouldn't swap her though...)

 

Phil

 

Ahh - the other thing she does (and I don't) is nit-combing and sorting our daughters hair...

[Guest]

I've already answered this one Phil - we can multi-task I'm actually doing some tiling as I type

 

and as I type I am emptying the eglu poo-tray... all those bits down the keyboard don't help, though... and I'm thinking about my sermon for Sunday morning and trying to pick some hymns... I also have some cymbals taped to my knees and a contraption around my neck that holds a mouth-organ and I am playing the dam-busters march...

 

Phil

[Lesley]

I'm sure you must have room for the broom.....somewhere?

[Richard T]

Er, Rev Phil, I don't want to appear to be leeting our side down nor nuffink, but don't you only work one day a week?

[Guest]

NOT that old chestnut Richard T, like teachers having 13 weeks holiday a year!

 

Surely you're not choosing hymns for THIS Sunday are you Phil? if you are I can send you mine! I'm choosing for April now!

[Guest]

Richard T

 

Yes Richard - but shhhhhh... don't let on!

 

(but that doesn't let the missus off the hook - she's a vicar too..)

the missus has been known to make the odd suggestion as to where I might stick the broom...
