It's getting misty here
And very cold
Second window is fitted and tradespeople are commenting how warm our house is and that's the first time I have ever heard that

Yeah, AI is the solution to all our problems.

So if I buy a new broom, I'll have to disassemble it, place the head on the old knackered broom handle then swap the old handle for the new one? 🤔

No, don't buy a new one, just the parts you need.

Oh yeah, and I stopped off at the book exchange on the way home from my walk and picked up five nice cookbooks to furkle through. One recipe caught my eye, and I'll be making it for supper.

Saw a video the other day of someone frying an egg. First they poured the white in the pan, swirled it around while it cooked, then put the yolk in the middle & folded the white over the yolk. Had a go at it this morning but didn't swirl the white enough. Still, it was better to have the yolk in the centre.

I have financial stuff to do today. This means that I'm now on my 2nd laundry load of the day.

My milkman job (RACS) was 7 days a week; up at a similar time as you!
At least I'm only up at stupid o'clock twice a week, now 🙃

BBC Suffolk today finds another new unit of measurement:

Ten abnormal loads with a combined weight of 520 tonnes will be moved through a county.

The cargo, which weighs the equivalent of 74 African male elephants, is set to be moved to and from Sizewell C, in Suffolk, at various times between 09:00 GMT and 15:00 on Thursday.

I was quite happy with being given a figure of 520 tonnes whereas I've rarely encountered African male elephants in Suffolk to make any kind of comparison.

I'll try ordering a seventh of an elephant's worth of sharp sand from Jewsons next time I'm there.

[Edit]

Not only that but, according to Elephantworld (I read it for the trumpeting reports), the average weight of an African male elephant is six tonnes, not seven. Plus there are two species of African elephant, one of which is much lighter.

Yet another sign of the serious decline in standards of BBC journalism. Let's return to numbers of London buses, Olympic swimming pools or perhaps a depth of elephant spread across an area the size of Wales
