Mundane News

Just had a thought, if I glue some (2) slats together I can then rip down to 73 mm X 36 and I can then use the longer screws I have plenty of

Just hung another load of washing out.... gluing next, however I have remembered I have 2 lengths of 100 mm x 125, might be a better solution, let ripping commence !!!

My word, all this breakneck creativity, planning and executive level decision making is getting a bit too exciting for the Mundane News thread.

In other news, I still haven't had a shave.

I have not had a shave in quite awhile, I am one of the lucky ones, light hair that does not grow very fast at all, might get the clippers out tonight and do my head and face, its about time..... tidy myself up a bit

If you already have longer screws, couldn't you cut them in half and then file them to pointiness again?

I thought I would look at the tracking of my parcel. Hailsham to Rugby ? Next it will be Bristol and then on to me. Surely there must be a better way of delivering parcels ?

One of the women who works here was sat outside in the company yard yesterday, her daughter and her pal turned up and the 3 of them were smoking and chatting, the production manager was tipped off so he went out and told the 2 to clear off, don't need to be here, don't want them here. What is wrong with people

Ah, but I have the advantage that I can have a goatee and look suave and artistic.

Macabre facts crop up. Just reading a long and learned book about the Silk Roads and the general history of the whole area.
There seemed to be constant fighting among various factions. In 1340 the Mongols were besieging the Genoese trading port of Caffa and since there were a lot of bodies lying around they used catapults to sling them over the city walls hoping the smell would drive out the population. Instead the plague infected bodies spread the disease and wiped out the population. An early accidental application of germ warfare.
The disease was spread widely by travellers but I have not got any further yet in the book to find how long this lasted.

I believe the plague was still hitting London in waves until the 1660's, during the Long Parliament. About the time of the fire, if I recall my recollection of DeFoe .

Spent a morning making a couple of batches of bread dough. Lunch will have to wait a bit as the dough's nearly ready for knocking back and shaping.

Not sure what I'll be doing after lunch. The bread needs to be baked, obviously...

Today, the theme in the photo challenge is "morning"

Deduce what you will from my photo...
