At least I've not missed much weather wise having spent today indoors - once the morning rain stopped it was just miserably grey, then the drizzle commenced mid afternoon followed by a downpour at about tea time, then back to the lighter rain we have now, although the radar is showing more heavy stuff potentially heading this way.

Also this afternoon the new broadband router was delivered ahead of the switchover to 'digital voice'. Setting it up will be easy, changing all the wi-fi details and passwords on my various devices on the other hand...

Haven't we been voting between pathological liars?

Well, that's one definition of politicians, I suppose - and a largely accurate one. But Trump is bendier than a bent paperclip and more slippery than a greased rugby ball in a rainstorm.

I think some candles I found in a cupboard as part of this current clearout were purchased at the time of the 3 day weeks and power cuts back in the 70s just in case.

Ah, you didn't ditch the touring car stuff, I hope...

Unfortunately yes - a quick look on ebay showed no market for them and I don't even have a VHS player to transfer them onto DVD via the PC. Before you ask, they went into the bin that was emptied on Monday.

Aaaargh! I'd have taken them off your hands!

Ah well, too late now. What's done is done.

Yes, I still have some candles from that era, will they still work?

If you got wane candles, no. Wax, yes.

Only if you have four of them.

Only if you have four of them.

And the only way of proving they do is a small flame, to light them.

The great thing about four candles is you can use them tine after tine.

Though perhaps the teams should first be asked whether they'll settle for penalty kicks before they have to start running around for 120 minutes....
