We almost missed the moon last night as it was being real sneaky! We had a covering of cloud which spread covering most of the sky . The moon then crept in low hiding behind houses and trees. It was just by chance that I saw a star in the sky which made run to our bedroom to look out of the window and spot the moon lurking behind a tree.

Scam email attempt to extort money through Bitcoin . Reported to the UK police action fraud team.

Apparently they have taken control of the microphone and video camera my PC doesn't have.

Oh dear oh dear, you'd better pay up or they'll send that video of you enjoying pornography to all your contacts .

Did they compliment you on your tastes?

Speaking of, time to put the kettle on...

That's an excellent idea.

EDIT - Note to self, press 'Post Reply' before putting kettle on.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank the culprit responsible for repositioning the handle on the 3kg plastic containers of bird food from the sides to the corners!
I have just spent the last 5 minutes scooping up the contents as the container tipped over spilling half of the food everywhere !
Moving the handle from the sides to the corners I find makes it difficult to put the lid on securely and leads to spillages.
They will probably get a Knighthood !

Exciting news! The recycling has been collected and is on it's way to eventually become more recycling !

I did it at a leisurely pace. 52(or was it 53?) steps a minute according to the machine. I wonder what the record time is for running up the actual building.

1,576 stairs in 10 minutes. You'll have to speed up a bit. You need to be at 18 -19 per minute, to beat the record

It's flying ant day...

That was yesterday

I saw a single wingless one yesterday, does that count?

That would be a slow day for some on the retirement thread.

Why I don't go there, it makes me tired.

The new washing machine has arrived, the old one taken away. I have installed the new washing machine and it's going through it's first (empty) wash to clean out the water that was used to test it after manufacture. Then the real washing can begin.

The excitement is almost unbearable.

I'm having to sit down just to read this saga: how do you cope?.

Hardly going to fly far, is it??!

'A' for effort, though

Better than a legless one !

I can't cope with the excitement. I'm going to the allotment to build a support for my tomato plants.

Wait.., was that the sound of the washing machine ending its cycle?!
