I've just realised that the clock in my car will be on the right time from tomorrow for the next six months!

I hate changing the time on the car clock. Years ago when my car had a mechanical clock it never seemed to show the correct time no matter how often you corrected it. Now we have digital clocks in cars, they still only show the correct time for a short while.

I don't bother to change the clock in the car.

How do electrical cables so get tangled? Spent ages this afternoon sorting out the TV/PVRs wiring in preparation for the arrival of the new TVs. Have a couple of zipped cable tubes coming which should assist in keeping it neat. I blame the spiders.

If you really want to know, it's because the strands of wire within the individual conductors are twisted & the conductors in a cable are twisted.

Good morning.

I appear to have a fruit fly infestation.

I've cleaned every surface and packed all the food away, emptied the bins and put up sticky traps, but they are still buzzing about. Does anyone have a way of getting rid of them?

Carnivorous plants? I think pitcher plants or sundew would probably be the best. I bury the pots in a larger container filled with sphagnum moss & water with rainwater, tap water will kill them.

Alternatively, fly paper, as you're using, is pretty good, but they do breed quickly.

What foreigners, like the French, call it.

However, have one time signal clock that ever since the Brexit vote has not readily corrected itself. Wil see if it's changed by early afternoon.

They moved the standard time transmission (MSF) to the wilds of Cumbria (I think) from Rugby & it's never been a good signal since. They blame local interference, but it's really that the signal is weaker for most people.

I've been told a cup of apple vinegar and washing up liquid is effective; they are attracted by the vinegar and when they land on the water there's no surface tension.

Shopping completed, lunch eaten, shopping put away.

Looks like someone must have fallen or jumped from the bridge as there was a lot of search and rescue activity all along the banks of the river when I was walking to the shop.
