I'm reading a history mystery and in the book the protagonist is invited to look around the house of a lawyer .It's stacked to the gunnels with various artefacts statues ,paintings etc .It reminded me of a museum somewhere in London that was in a private house but I can't remember the name of it .It's bugging me :)
Any ideas as to what it's called ?

Snap lottie, Mr N is the same, and is fine once he gets down to it, but as he works 8hrs a day manually he gets too tired to do much. We have trees that need cutting right back, there are cracks in the walls and ceilings, he will mend it all eventually but until then!! On the other hand, the minute the washing machine or something goes on the blink, he's there mending it, so it's swings and roundabouts. I do lots of it myself which sometimes (only sometimes) makes it worse!!
Here you are shaney...hope he does a good job, send him back when he's finished please

I did have a handyman for a couple of years, he even shopped and baked a mean cake....sadly things kinda fizzled out.
Well I dragged on about 5 layers and my boots and braved the local shops. Mind went a complete blank and I came back with 2 bags of raisins (for the birds), cereal and bread...so at least I can have all day breakfasts.
Had to go round the post office queue twice, forgot something the first time. I thought it was Friday too neti! Now I've got a sinus headache from the cold...I don't know what to buy sis, nephew or Tarquin & partner for xmas...oh grrrrr....ich bin total angepisst! :)
(well I've learned a new bit of German today so it hasn't been wasted :))

Oh dear, what do I buy Master LL? His missus is much easier, well ladies are easy to buy for aren't they. I have bought them something between them, but want to buy them something else each!! She is taken care of!! I can't buy him gadgets because he knows more about gadgets than I do and probably has what he needs, clothes are boring, he doesn't do men's toiletries. He does love books, but always ending up buying him books. Mr LL is sorted. I don't buy any pressies for anybody else.
Suggestions please. I could ask him I suppose, but he would suggest something like a new specialist bicycle tyre or something equally stimulating.

Snap Lottie, I never know what to buy Tarquin, he just says 'dunno, not fussed'....Well that's no help and unfortunately I don't think 'the missus' is any easier...they seem to have absolutely everything and more. In fact they've been clearing stuff out so I can't even think of anything between them.....apart from a barrow load of shrubs for the garden. Bit difficult to wrap tho' :). Maybe I should just make up a box of M&S goodies now that she's eating for two.
Oh you mean 'handyman, no job too small' neti....no of course it isn't, the fee is still large.

I get my nephew and his wife amazon gift cards...the choice on there is amazing, even quite specialist stuff.
My lovely painter odd job man has fallen off a ladder and broken two ribs! Poor man also looks after his invalid wife. I asked him if he needed shopping doing or anything but his family are rallying round.
There are quite a few of us who don't know what we would do without him. he turns up, does the job, gives good advice, cleans up and leaves but he is also a very nice man....I hope he gets back on his feet soon.
We went out and picked up my ironing and gave my nice ironing lady a plant for her birthday, then on to the vets for worm pills and a go at their christmas tombola. They had posh handbaked goodie gift boxes for dogs so I sneaked one home. Finally Tesco and home to a warm house.
I can do a fair bit on the Diy front and go in and out of the loft but don't fool with gas, plumbing or mains electricity or heights. I have a lovely scottish friend whose vocabulary is somewhat nautical and when he doesn't want to do something and is goaded he just says "I'm too f***ing old for that sh1t" and I have adopted his mantra.

No good asking me what to buy for people !
I'm still dithering around .I need to get something yet for two brothers and
one SiL and haven't got the foggiest .
We had savoury mince and rib stickers.
You'll be fine Neti if you did as you were told and stayed in the warm and rested instead of carousing around :-)

this one looks like he's just put in a window for himself, shaney - if it steams up much more he'll be able to write a contact phone number on it for you

Saddish story today - an old friend rang up for a chat and mentioned her son... she married an osteopath yonks ago, who turned out to be a selfish bastard and she divorced him (in the course of subsequent genealogical research she discovered that he came from a long line of selfish bastards, but too late now of course).
Anyway they had a son who was always a sweet kid but did have his father's healing hands and worked with him for many years. He has just fallen in personally and professionally with a lady osteo, and she has taken over his practice and sorted out his records and everything, and in the course of it she has discovered that his father was robbing him all those years, with the assistance of their receptionist. Poor guy (must be in his 40s now) is horrified; he challenged his father, didn't get a response, and has now basically divorced him. At least he is now starting to earn the sort of money he whould always have been getting.
Having had a loving father myself, I find that all really shocking. (My friend's pretty appalled too.)
