I had a puncture on the north side of Wandsworth Bridge and had to walk two hundred yards to find some shade on the hottest day of the year so I wouldn't expire from heat exhaustion while I fixed it.

Did I tell you about the charming invitation I got in the post this morning? I'm being invited to submit three day's of poo smears in a rectal cancer screening exercise. It's so nice to feel wanted. Bless them.

Are you playing pooh sticks?

Misty looking today... I've just asked Mr Summerdays for batteries! View attachment 144025

Bright sunshine here.

Sorry to hear about your purse @summerdays. I hope it turns up. It is quite upsetting when it has so much personal stuff in.
I lost mine in Tesco car park but thought I'd lost it in the store. It was awful not being able to pay for my shopping. I had to go home and borrow one of Mr K's cards. Meanwhile, I'd called the police and the store staff were also very helpful. After 5 days I'd given up when someone came to the door with it, nothing missing! The chap had found it on his way out and hadn't had time to bring it round. I was over the moon but gob smacked too.
I'm paranoid now about where it is and I also have a small purse for just one card and some cash when I'm on the bike.

Thanks - a smaller purse is on the cards for the future as that sounds a good idea

Better to put the cards in the purse?

I have had the pleasure of the screening programme a couple of times now.

That reminds me. I got my 2nd pack a good week ago but haven't got round to opening it yet.

We had some leftover chocolate cake from a friend's birthday at the weekend. OH was impressed to find there was still some left in the fridge when he got back from a 3 day business trip yesterday!

Tomorrow is my last (half) day at work. Goodbye comedy non-job, you were no fun. Very, very boring.

It's warming up quickly though...

I must be coming down with man flu, still not warm

morning all. cold and very windy here with rain enough in the air to keep you inside, but not enough to actually get anything wet enough to collect rain water or water the ground. Just enough to get you too wet to work in the high winds. Glad my satellite engineer was here 2 days early. If he was trying to be on the roof today he wouldn't even get the ladders off his vehicle!

now to work out how to time my downloads to be between 1am and 7am so that I can get my off peak hours data used rather than my on-peak hours data which is much lower!

And please don't tell me to use Firefox, I hate it.

I've edited the task scheduler entry for windows updates and I reckon things like iTunes downloads can be set going, then iTunes closed which will stop the downloads. Then use task scheduler to restart iTunes at 1:30am in the morning... I have located an add-on for MS Edge which appears to allow me to set up download queues and set times for them. Just have to work out how to use it and see if it is worth the $5.99 they ask for.

But I need to have another warm drink, locate another top to wear to keep warm and get some seeds planted in the veg plot and then promptly cover them over to stop the chooks eating them because my OH has not yet fenced in the veg plot. And my back is playing up again - or should I say still? It has been awkward for the last couple of weeks but is better than it was last week so we seem to be getting over the issue of me doing too much 2 weeks ago and upsetting it.

anyhow - hi all and sorry I couldn't read all of the 112 messages since my last appearance here...

You don't have Linux server set up to do that already? I'm shocked!

Part way through cutting grass. More to do after a break and lots of strimming. Trying to get it all done before tomorrow's forecast rain.

Life-size pic?

I've got one too! Shall we start a very select faction?
I wonder what we could call ourselves?

OK Confession time.....

I've found it (it wasn't in my pannier in the first place well it was but the wrong one... and I didn't check it... just the pannier I took and various handbags.... Mr Summerdays can't make up his mind whether to be pleased (it's found), or cross (I put him through all this stress)!!! Me I'm just glad I've found it ...

I've taken photos of what is it it (good job it wasn't lost as there are cards in there that I didn't report as missing ... I've no idea what they are for ... I'm going to hand them back to Mr Summerdays .... I've got too many).
