Mundane News

Morning
It's dry here at the moment. Light grey sky with a few breaks in the cloud . Yippee! I can look forward to another storm front moving in on Thursday.
I'm sulking ! I lost out in a bidding war. If I had a hammer in my hand at the time my tablet would look like a crinkle cut chip now !

True. In fact "Getting back to normal" sounds like the sort of "American classic play" I had to read in my theatre studies degree.

Probably the protagonist would never actually go to Normal but would spend a lot of time on a greyhound bus travelling towards the town rambling about how it was really important to them, then fall over and die in a bus station near Chicago.

HTH 👍🏼

Your mistake @PeteXXX is that you are applying things like geography and logic to theatre. If the writer wants the protagonist to travel halfway across America for this trip, then keel over in Chicago, they will find a way to achieve it.

On the other hand two hours and eleven minutes is about the right amount of time for the plays I had to read. There will be a grand total of three plot points in that time, probably one of which is the protagonist missing the 07:00 but and discovering the alternative to waiting until 09:25 is a service that runs via Oklahoma.

The significance of this will be discussed at length by critics.

Is this the same logic as in The Blues that if you catch a southbound train, you ain't gunna see ya baby again? 🤔

Didn't post on Saturday, but "mundane news" from the afternoons deliveries. I delivered 4 Christmas trees! The artificial type, some with built in LEDs and one with fibre optic branches or some thing like that. It was white if you're interested.

My £30 fitness band tells me my SpO2 level is 99%. I took a reading yesterday and it told me it was 92%, which would have had Trump's doctors passing me the oxygen bottle. Figures to be taken with a pinch of saline solution, I suspect.

Dry, but dull. Had a brief spell of sunshine a few minutes ago, but now gone. Might have to put the lights back on in the shedoffice.

My left ear was bunged up this morning.

I have now unclogged it.

Twenty to nine this morning as I was wheeling my bike out the door to start my ride it started to hammer down, I've now put the ride back to tomorrow and its brightened up nicely, though the forecast for this afternoon ain't good.

Gone bright again. My commute from home to home at lunch might be on.

This weather is orrible. I'd rather it was dry or wet, not this can't make its mind up mixture of sun and showers.

You mean you've wiped the sweat from your furrowed ear.

It's pick your moment week, although with mainly riding off road, it's going to be muddy what ever. I'm not doing one particular route as I will be absolutely filthy from a small section. I had last week off the bike - wasn't 'feeling it' - plus too many random on-line meetings.

Is that what it was? Looked like a load of crud to me.

All came at once too: very satisfying if a bit gross...
