Back from the office and a day off tomorrow. Have a dental hygienist appointment for the first time ever.
Brilliant packaging by Sainsbury's on a pack of Salmon fishcakes. Cooking time readily visible but then when you open the package you find it repeated on the inside along with preheat baking tray. Why not on the outside.

A sobering thought. I mentioned up post seeing a house fire on Sunday while out with the grandkids...it was started by a e scooter left on charge apparently.
I'd already started charging my ebike outside, more determined to do that now

Is that tea or coffee?

We do seem to have a constant stream of building material failures, HAC, cladding & now RAAC. I was watching a video of someone complaining about the quality of bricks, how they were not consistent in size.

They are, dependent on where they'll be used, and whether or not they'll be used externally or internally.

Had a quiet afternoon in the company of Madam Lexi, mostly dozing in the shade of a tree.

Did have to do a little bit of laundry and water the triffids, and made a pot of cream of tomato & basil soup.

Now listening to the England v New Zealand T20 match.

Only a few weeks ago the industry called for an enforceable battery standard. Most big names already do follow the industry standard. It’s the cheep imports that are the issue with substandard battery management systems and the cheep chargers. Lithium batteries fires are harder to tackle they give off large amounts of energy quickly leading to full inferno within minutes.

I reckon it's tea. Besides, I wouldn't have had milk if it were coffee.

F5 or F6 for coffee then?

Just as I had finally got over the cold/flu/hacking chesty cough I had for ages and felt well enough to venture out on the bike on Sunday, I must have picked up some sort of stomach bug or food poisoning. I felt like death warmed up yesterday. Today I feel much better and feel I could be out doing something but I don't want too risk straying to far from the toilet as my belly is still a bit iffy.

After a very wet summer, I end up missing all this lovely autumnal cycling weather.

I am reminded of that scene from Only Fools and Horses with Rodney's belly ache/viral condition conversation with Albert.

A good bit of steam i.e. very hot water in the bathroom sink along with a drop of olbas oil, and a towel over the noggin really seems to help soothe the urge to cough.

And the extra bonus? A free facial at the same time!

I corrected the spelling mistake (to/too) in my post above but it's still showing incorrectly but if I go back into edit it, it is showing correctly.
