F1 qualifying on now Reynard.

Thanks

I did listen to it on the radio earlier, though.

It has stopped raining.

The shed is still outside my bedroom window.

A few years ago when I lived in Bowling I was wakened during a particularly bad gale by a strange noise outside. Looked out and somebody's garden shed was travelling at a fair speed down the road.

Hope she's not lost in the hordes of people who have been panic buying again...

According to a friend who lives a couple of villages along, it's been completely bonkers in Ely today, with queues outside every supermarket and people buying gazillions of bog rolls.

I'm sitting pretty, as I'm very well stocked up on just about everything. So I'm watching the rugby and letting everyone else scrum over the last can of baked beans in Ely.

I found MrsPete a few aisles away.. She'd done a knights move from shampoo to the veg section!

Yes, it was quite busy this evening. Why do folk feel the necessity to panic buy bog rolls?? After all, it's autumn and there's leaves of every shape & size that will cater for all needs!

On purpose or unintentionally?

I couldn't possibly comment

I remember about 15 years ago I had Elder Son on my shoulders in the supermarket, and as small children sometimes do, be burped.
"And what do you say now?" I enquired.
He looked around, saw Beautiful Wife in the next aisle but one, and called "Mama, I Burped!"
Not exactly what I'd had in mind, but there we go...

I've just blown tea out of my nose, reading that...

Wish it was that kind of shed. But it's a type 66 diesel loco - they're called sheds because the body panels are corrugated.

And you're just as bad!!!

And about time, too... Better late than never, I suppose.

It's not as if this virus gives one the trots...

I'm currently editing the photos of a pile of items I'll be listing on eBay over the next few days. Some conclusions I've come to:

1. I can't take photos very well, even using my new phone camera rather than the 15 year-old digital camera. This I knew already, but it shows
2. There's a pile of bike clothing being listed. On each of the long-sleeve jerseys/jackets the sleeve on the RH side, whether from the front or back, is always longer than the LH side one
3. The living room door, upon which I've hung said clothes before photographing them, needs painting.
4. The person I bought my NeilPryde from, who gave the pile of clothes along with other bike stuff, has some seriously wierd tastes in clothing [A Primal Flash Gordon jersey along with a light-up tri-suit and a see-thru tri-suit]

I am just about to pull some home-made Cornish pasties out of the oven for supper. A bit late tonight, but it's the Dear Leader's fault.

Also because the roof has a distinct pitched centre line.

I hope they have swede and carrot along with the mince and spices. And the pudding at one end.

Having spent a good bit of my childhood in Cornwall I've a liking for a proper Cornish pasty - Warren's in Hayle make decent ones

Not entirely sure they were entirely authentic, as I made them stuff that needed using.

So diced rump steak leftover from last night, one of my freebie potatoes that was a bit dinged, a chunk of swede, a large onion, sage, thyme, salt and a LOT of black pepper.

Didn't have enough pastry to stick apples in t'other end, as the pastry was another arse end thing that needed using.

They were VERY tasty, though...
