Are sure there isn't a Tornado Ride at Alton Towers???

I wouldn't know, theme parks are most definitely not my

 

[Gravity Aided]

Hmmm, I wonder if Alton, Ilinois was settled by people from Alton in Hampshire.

Named for Alton Easton, son of Rufus Easton, who ran a ferry across the Mississippi at that juncture.

I have had a tornado warning here. I had to eat brownies and ice cream in the laundry room. If there was a tornado, it was close.

Time to get ready for the daily bike ride work again.

Sorry, I can't write much now as I really need to concentrate on the culinary situation: I'm boiling an egg.

I am amazed at your level of culinary skills. I have progressed from making a sandwich to cooking baked beans but have discovered that they taste nicer cold .
Will you be going on Master Chef ?

 

[Illaveago]

You were doing two it seems. One of each maybe!

Is this a maths question?
If it takes a person 3 or 5 minutes to boil an egg ? How long will it take to boil 2 ?

Ooh! Nasty .
I hope it feels better soon.

Ouch! How did you come by said rope burn? (Visions of channelling John McClane. Abseiling down the side of a burning skyscraper to escape a burning inferno above?)

 

[Illaveago]

Grrrrr! I've put a plaster on my thumb and had to wash my hands. Guess what ?

They've used water based blue !

Day 3 of 4 early shifts this week and it's not getting any easier. The only good part of the day so far was getting in to work and finding out that an inspection of something resembling a cheap version of Wagon Wheels by the late shift has resulted in a pack being left for general consumption so that's breakfast sorted.

Oh, and I forgot to wish you all happy St Swithin's day yesterday. I hope you enjoy the next 39 days of grey, cloudy & drizzly weather.
