So how has your day been?

[BrenD]

Mine was pretty average until a few minutes ago. A rather chilled Sunday, albeit with less time to myself than I would have liked.

The coil in my Falcon has been on its way out for a while, so I thought it was time for a change. I couldn't find the juice I was going to use, but did stumble upon a 50ml shortfill, Ephemeral Lion not that it matters, so thought I'd give it a go.

But I couldn't find the twisty lid that had been sent with it, so the whole lot and a nic shot found its way into one of those dirt cheap 120ml bottles that did the rounds a while ago. The ones you have to be really bloody careful to snap the lid in place with that don't particularly play nicely with high VG juice.

Turns out I wasn't as careful as I thought I'd been. Managed to prime the new coil without incident, but the top popped out as I was filling the tank. 60ml of juice spilt over me, my phone (thankfully waterproof but still very sticky, the pleather case is probably fooked) and my bedding. The case aside, my duvet might well be a casualty too.

Oh and the coil I had primed. Definitely a gonner. Going by the smell it was a pretty strong cinnamon and the plan had been to get through as much of the 60ml as possible before it died on me. Not sure it'll handle a flavour change too well.

I'm an idiot. A sticky idiot with the smell of cinnamon well and truly stick in my nose. Laugh at me. Some good needs to come from this unfortunate situation.

Ah! ... and snip a tale of Vaping gone wrong woe.

My last few days have been even less enjoyable.

Aside from the dreaded (and often lethal) Man-Flu, I got a call from the Bro-In-Law yesterday. For the second time in two weeks his home has been broken into. So I was off my sick-bed, grabbed misc tools from the shed then dashed over his place to help repair/seal the gaping hole smashed thro a fibro wall into his house - made by feral sub-human low-lives looking for goodies to steal. (*)

*Sigh*

Least ways my vape gizmos held up thro the ordeal without flooding anywhere You'd understand me when I say none of us here are feeling particularly charitable toward the, errr .... folk responsible.

And the Man-flu is still holding on ...

Laugh? OK... LOL!

* Thieving scum doing rounds. Like these: linky  Feral teens knock on doors at all hours (6.30 am Sunday for Bro-In-Law). If no answer then break in and scout the place. Bro-In-Law jumped 'em when he was returning home and so they scarpered. 2 Weeks later older folks presumed known to the first couple came and broke thro outside wall exactly where the earlier young ones found the heavily locked and fortified doors and gun safes (all legit - Registered, Gun club member, police licensed etc). Fortunately neighbour challenged 'em before they got any goodies ...

That cheered me up a bit BrenD - not had the best time over the last week due to girlfriends pug.
Worried phone call last Monday that one of his eyes looked cloudy and she was on the way to the vets. Bad scratch on eye and haemorrhage behind the lens.
Eye drops and back on Tuesday …. then back on Thursday for the news that it was not improving as well as it should and was starting to ulcerate ??
Over to the other branch of the vets to see the eye specialist who was not happy with it and wanted him in for a graft operation first thing on Friday morning.
Sick with worry all day but operation went well. He now has a very odd eye like a marble that is stitched half closed … and a plastic lampshade cone thing that he is not liking one bit.
Back on Friday coming for a check up then back in the Friday after for another all day knock him out shot to get the stiches out and the graft snipped back.

Me and the girlfriend have been in bits and when went he went in for the op we both had tears in our eyes ….. and the pug ? Well apart from the cone thing he is totally non plussed

The cones are never good, my Collie hates the one she ends up in when she won't stop trying to eat one of her legs, silly old thing.

Give the pug a hug or two from me!

I'm glad my relatively minor misfortune cheered some people up, I couldn't think of any other way for good to come of it.

Looks like I'll be ordering a new duvet next week when I'll be around for Amazon to deliver it and I'm making do with a sticky case that still smells of cinnamon until my bday next week. Still gutted I dumped that much juice mind, even if it was only £3 including the shot

Oh the cone of shame!
My old buddy is 14, totally deaf but there's nothing wrong with his sniffer. He sits under my feet when I'm making any liquid with chocolate in it. And my hoss loves the smell of mint chock chip.
I've only recently fallen in love with making my own liquids again and now find I have to hide from the animal muggers!
