I read somewhere that adding salt to coffee reduced the bitterness. So I just tried it to absolutely no effect. I'm going to have a second (salt-free) coffee now.

Are you sure it wasn't sugar?

Yeah that’s it, bought from that garden centre where the Fred Whitton challenge starts.

They like acidic Ericaceous compost.. 👍

Lovely evening but the nights are really drawing in now. Went for a walk in the park and a drink afterwards with my new lady friend.

Mornings are kinda dark too.

Many years ago, my two cats, Leo and Tasha, and the cat from three doors up the road, Benjy, used to play Cat Chess on the patio.

Now it seems that Bob and Kizzy, and Leo from seven houses down the road, have decided it is a good game. One on the steps, one on the flat bit of the patio, and one on the table.

Transpired its the switch to the spur to socket that the washer plugs into that is faulty. Left switched on.
Another disaster re the work W11 laotop, it failed to find the one network drive it finally had access to yesterday. Quickly shut down and hello to the W10 laotop as what I needed today was on that network drive.

We save our more colourful (well, brown and black with a blue lid) bins for alternate weeks. Too exiting to put out every week!

That is assuming that the coffee is bitter in the first place, possibly? 🤔 😂

I find African & Indian coffees less bitter that S American ones.

A conservative estimate places the number made at 2,000,000 produced per year since they were introduced in 1940.
Some get flattened, some end up being recycled. Others end up in odd places, atop statues for instance.

They cost a out £10 each! That's an awful lot of money

They forgot to warn against inserting the penis into the end of it, there's a video on Twitter of someone doing that.

An hour spent at Manchester velodrome today testing different gearing. Tired now

Turned dry about middle of the day and tomorrow looks not too bad but the following days forecasts are not so good.
Down to the chemist and the town looked mostly normal as it should at this time of the year with a few vacant parking spaces and only a few motorhomes free camping.
Had intended to fill up with diesel but the pump area was occupied so try again tomorrow.

Storage heaters were still not working but electrician has just been and replaced an RCD just in time for the power to come on and the problem is hopefully fixed but will need to wait till morning to be sure.
Need to restart my fight with OVO re a new tariff and change of meter. Cannot change suppliers when still on THTC for reasons I fail to understand.
Text from Vodaphone who will soon shift me to a different calling plan. Tried to get in touch with them but gave up after battering my head against the automated systems.
I have had no problems with them so far and I have been with them for years but trying to get through the electronic garbage is a nightmare.

Tesco has been tescoed and correspondence has been posted. I am now sorted with supplies for Saturday (Supreme Cat Show), as I am feeding the friend I'm travelling with, as well as the judge I'm stewarding for. Also stocked up on groceries. Quite a bit on sticker with mostly 50% reductions (good for mid-afternoon) but practiced restraint and only bought some wholegrain bakery rolls, a pack of parsnips and a Polish sausage.

I have been sitting down with a and watching the track cycling from Denmark.

Lexi has been fed (Felix AGAIL with salmon), and I am planning on some toast with something in a little while.

Evening cuppa went down well with a genuine digestive biscuit.

It's 18 degrees and a nice full or nearly full moon is flirting with the clouds it would be a nice night for a ride if I could be arsed.

After a quick recap it turns out I'm mistaken, they got the warning correct after all, he's got it up his btm whilst he masturbates with the other hand. I wonder how many mpg he gets, (masturbations per gallon).
