Mundane News

Paying for the carpet fitting and furniture lugging. Aching back and stiff as a plank.

Good news, it's Pad Thai for tea.

Blowing a right hoolie here today.

Slept in after last night's shenanigans.

Looking at the news reports, I did the right thing by bailing to Liverpool Street when I did. I'd have had to have waited nearly four hours for the next service out of Kings Cross (to P'boro), and then there was no guarantee I'd have even gotten on it anyway... Equally glad that I just missed my intended train, as I'd have been stuck on it going nowhere - with all the joy that would have entailed.

Being pretzeled onto a Greater Anglia sardine can special was small price to pay.

Although I ache all over this morning so I can sympathise with @fossyant

Wonder if the lady I got on the bus to Liverpool Street made it home to Thetford, and if the lady with two lovely young daughters managed to get back to Doncaster...

I thought girls went for a 'tinkle'

Hmm...

Although I did once see a sign in a loo at a cat show venue that said "If you sprinkle when you tinkle please make sure you wipe the seat."

Did the cats take any notice?

Hah!

There's one particular Oriental entire male who will back up to the pen door and spray through the bars. Woe betide if you're within range...

I may have done the cones up too tight .

It is blowing quite a hooey here today, hope everyone is safe.

looking outside it looks more like November than august

Warm and sunny here, but the trees are certainly wanging backwards and forwards.

Wouldn't surprise me if I had some clearing up to do.

 

[Ming the Merciless]

Raining here, oh no it isn't, oh yes it is. What a mix of heavy rain and sun we are having. Winds slowing down.

Tandoori (ish) Chicken tonight, it has been marinating since this morning and is about to go in t'oven. I haven't got a tandoor but if I put it on flat out and stick the Chicken on a wire rack over a tin tray for about 50 minutes it works out OK.

BTW if you have a 'smoke detector' in the house then disable it whilst using this technique.

Sounds fab - will have to try this.

Ordered two bed side lights to fit to the new bedroom units. They have a main light and a reading light. Ordered them via my SIL's lighting business, not cheap but it puts sales there way (small shop in the village). Whilst in bought batteries and a battery powered PIR light for the back of my garage (outside).
