We might get warm enough tomorrow for me to allow the fire to go out.
maybe

Humph. The gloves we use for putting wood onto the fire have just caught fire with my hand in them. My hand now smells of burnt hair.

I guess someone is telling me that the wood fire season is almost over!
(My hand is fine, I just batted it out on the fireproof rug we keep in front of the fire).
I'll try a tactful suggestion but I'm not holding my breath.I use cheap welder's gloves for fire tending. The pair I have now are at least ten years old, and IIRC, they cost me 12-bucks US.

Oh and this was on the wall when I opened a doorway curtain this morning.
MG, don't look.

This one is a small one. They do grow to the size of a hand and I've had the walk across the car windscreen on the outside whilst I've been driving at 110kph. I've no idea how they stay attached!
Hubby is never home when you want him! Lol
Yes to venomous, no idea on the biting of humans though, generally considered to be harmless and great to have around. Good sign of a healthy environment. It's just not really something you want to wander into the bathroom during the night, glance up at the mirror and find 2 of it looking back at you. They can grow to 6inches (15cm).Do they bite? Are they venomous?

After about an hour and me developing a headache, the new phone is good to go for the most part, but the user still has to learn how to use it.
Craig still has problems with the remote sometimes. I'm not sure though whether he is actually having problems or he's just having mental slowness.
I'd be happy if he could just use the actual phone. The problem is he somehow opens other apps and then can't figure out how to get back to phone.
My mum used to berate my wife last year because she was always using "that computer!"
I clearly remember the first cellphone I had, way back in 1992. Weighed half a ton and I was given TWO extra batteries, so my ex-Marine boss could keep in touch "24/7".
Like it or not, cellphones are one of the most amazing inventions of the last 40 years and, these days, absolutely essential.
I do get really annoyed, however, when I'm at a dinner or a party and people have their heads stuck into the screen.
I have that talk with MrsT a lot, as she’s a tightwad with money and wants to use it until it won’t work any longer.Never again will I let him go for so long without a new phone. I can't remember exactly how old the phone was, but it was at least 10 years old.
My mom, crazy as it sounds, was an early adopter of home computing - she got one before I did, and I work in IT.My mother never had a stroke, and NEVER learned how to use a cell phone, especially a smart phone. She is just as bad with a computer, and just barely competent with a TV remote.
