Mundane News

[Jenkins]

Good morning from Suffolk where the early morning sunshine has gone and been replaced by traditional Suffolk grey cloud.
Coffee has been had with a fresh pack being opened to make sure I got a proper caffeine hit.
45 minutes to go until I head to the local rail station for day 5 of 8 away days for February.

Out of 49 days so far this year we have had 33 grey days!

Not good, don't count. Just see the sunbeams. Take a warm jacket though

 

[Illaveago]

I would just like to say that a watched kettle does boil eventually!

Am watching Newsnight.

I get the sense that Trump and Putin are trying to carve up Ukraine in much the same way that Hitler and Stalin did to Poland in 1939.

Those who ignore the mistakes of history are condemned to repeat them.

People don't learn from history and don't like parallels bring pointed out to them.

I’m reminded of the quote by the president after Pearl Harbour: “a day that will go down in infamy”.

And how long did you actually do it for?

Depends on where the blockage was, I expect.

When a clown moves into a palace,
that does not make the clown a king.
It makes the palace a circus.

OK, hive mind of mundanity...
When a recipe (usually from the US of A) says 'all purpose flour', is that plain or Self-raising? 🤔

i'd vote for plain. Self-raising wouldn't be "all purpose"

We've gone seamlessly from sunny via clunny and soudy to the present cloudy.

A rather militant magpie just saw off 2 parakeets in short order. And I think I heard a goldfinch earlier. It's been a while.

I thought you'd just got rid of the clown.

I've noticed that we seem to have had periods during the day when the sun has been out & got all excited, only for it to suddenly go cloudy again.

Hokey Cokey ?

No a walk

 

[biggs682]

Second cuppa went down well and so did a third one.

Trying to decide between a 62cm or a 58cm sized bike one will be a squeeze the other should have clearence

I would like to point out a slight error on my CV. In it I stated that I was a brain surgeon. It should read drain!

I have had several successful attempts at unblocking drains, without calling out people who charge £200 to do so.

No specialised kit, just a length of flexible curtain wire (as used for net (?) curtains, and a length of the tubing that is used to connect two water butts. That tubing is strong and flexible.
