Mundane News

[Reynard]

The one non-sleeping rain-o-meter has come in absolutely soaking wet.

 

[Lullabelle]

I am at work - very mundane

 

[Reynard]

I have put out my blue (general recycling) bin and my black bag.

It's been two months since I put out my black bag - and it's only half full.

As the weather report says it will be warm, I'm going to cycle to Esslingen with only one coat.

Just the one coat.

Currently undecided: do I cycle through the forest or the valley to get back today?

Can't be bothered with the direct route: 200m climbing is not fun.

Ten short, 656 feet 2.016 inches.

No hat?

You think I'd go out without a hat? good grief, what madness is this?

I’ve made a sponge cake, a bit like a Victoria sponge. I’ve made peanut butter, butter icing. I am a maverick.

My word i was so lucky.It stayed light and bright with some very weak sunshine.I got the ceiling and walls finished.Now normally it's got to be spot on.But i did my best i don't think i missed any and i don't think i skiffed any.So that's it.Right so i cleaned up and brought stuff back in to the kitchen,after giving the windows a clean cleaned and polished the granite tops,put towel rail back on the wall plus the notice board and large calendar.It's great when things go back they fill up the vast empty spaces and take out the bareness of the walls just painted.Hardest bit was putting four brackets back in to the window frames ready for the blinds,big clumpy hands,little screws and varifocals don't go well together.So now downlights to remove paint where i caught them with the paint.Final coat of satin wood on woodwork.Despite two coats of silver grey over white undercoat it is still sketchy,i never had this with gloss,but Mrs P does not like gloss.So blinds to go back tomorrow clean floor then i can rest till next year when it's the back room and our bedroom.I will be doing that in better weather conditions,but i must say October has been awful weather wise it is usually one of my fave months.Well that's all folks thank you for reading all of this rubbish.

Got home and there is an oil slick two roads long. One of our neighbours has had some work done on the garden or drive, and the contractors vans and kit has spewed oil everywhere

Cliff Richard is 79 years old today - so is my Dad.

I have had to re-write the note for the milkman informing him that I won't need anything on Thursday - despite putting the note & the bottle in the (normally) dry part of the porch, the wind drove the rain in the latest downpour everywhere making the original note unreadable.

Stand the bottle upside down!

Put a cork in it !

Narrow necked bottle - it would have fallen over in the wind (even if placed in the corner)

Ooh! It's gone back to normal! A moment ago it was all in bold!

There is a bit of a delay . Just as my finger is about to touch the screen it moves and I end up pressing something I didn't mean to .
