I'm a freegan: I eat anything offered for nothing, so this evening I was quite happy to accept two free meals from the cafeteria especially as they would throw them out otherwise. They are "airline" type meals but all organically sourced.

It was steak.

I feel full.

We picked up my newer car. It is a 4 year old Jaguar XE 2.0 t petrol.
We have been looking at the hand book and trying to figure out what all the switches and things do .
It is too hot out at the moment to investigate all of the controls.

It turns out moving several pieces of wood wasn't as complex as I thought. It helped that I added two cross pieces just wide enough to fit over the luggage rack.

It doesn't do much for aerodynamics though.

You need to get the angle right so that the forces are pushing your back wheel down, not lifting it up.

Got tired of hair being too long & took beard trimmer fro a longer trip. 7/8" if anyone is interested. Won't bother looking for a barber.

It’s hotter than the surface of sun here. I’m just smelting Iron on the patio, no furnace required.

 

[Darius_Jedburgh]

Quite cool here now.
New suite delivered today.
Time for a celebration so the last of our home grown strawberries with ice cream and creme fresh will be washed down with a nice bottle of bubbles.
Because we're worth it

Well, that didn't go quite as planned...

Went out with the mower at teatime once the sun had moved round. The damn thing broke through the top surface and sank into a couple of rabbit runs.

Which were spaced the exact wheelbase of the mower.

Took me an hour to dig, jack, get a plank under each wheel etc.

I'm fecking knackered.

I just got back from a ride along the Thames. Though the sun's hot there's a strong cooling breeze that stops any sensation of sweating. Very pleasant indeed.

My hair is only about half an inch long (cos it all fell out last October) so it is Important that I wear a hat in the sun. It is a very wide brim hat. and it keeps blowing off in the wind.

The Prof (Mrs Bruce) is very good at cutting hair........she did mine yesterday and I now look like, Matt Lucas. Can I borrow your hat when you've finished with it?

It is a very old hat, purchased in Portugal about ten years ago.
