I turned the kitchen into a sauna yesterday by putting the kettle on with 4 cups of water in it , then went for a quick shower .

Who had forgotten to shut the lid as I got nearer to the kitchen the steam got thicker thankfully I got to it just as the last water was boiling away ......

Could have been nasty

I did that big time back in the 60's.
My mum had a Burco boiler, basically a large kettle holding approximately a couple of gallons of water for boiling clothes in . My mum told me before she went off to work that if I went out to switch the boiler off . "Yes mum !"
I went out , forgot all about the boiler . I returned hours later. I opened the kitchen door to thick fog ! I couldn't see across the room ! There were puddles on the floor and the walls were dripping wet . The boiler hadn't boiled dry but there wasn't much left in there .

Took dog out for her usual walk in the afternoon, she 13/14 so we don't go too far, but she was her normal self, put her food out & she didn't eat any which is unusual, but she does sometimes wait until after I'd finished my food which I scrape into her dish. But she didn't touch that either, she spent the whole evening on her bed, which again is not her. Got up this morning & she still hadn't touched anything, but she did get up to greet me, threw all her food away & gave her another fresh tin of food which she's eaten, bit of a strange affair, hate it when one of the animals is sick they can't tell you wants wrong!

Morning.
It was lovely and clear first thing this morning but it is gradually clouding over. The ground is quite damp and both cars are wet .
My wife mentioned that a rescue centre had a cat which needs a new home . I asked my wife if we could have it so we contacted them . We are waiting to hear from them .

Returned SiL's dog to Rhyl & ate our sandwiches at Splash Point.

Anyone thinking of riding along the prom, don't bother, they are working on the sea defences & it's boarded up.

I went to Rhyl once. I felt severely under-tattooed on the beach.

I'm looking out the window and somewhere over yonder I spy a tiny patch of blue sky amid all the dull grey and mist.

Blue sky and sunshine here.

Good morning. I have just realised that if you get dressed in a dark bedroom it is quite possible to put a shirt on inside out.

Definitely blue skies outside today.

It is also possible to walk around for most of the day without noticing along with a trip to the shops, DAHIKT

I've now swapped it back to normal. I figured I might use up my daily ration of dexterity trying to do the buttons up.

The Weather Service actually came to my house yesterday. They needed to inspect the weather station and talk to me, but I was in Rantoul. So they got to talk to Mrs.GA instead. I thought they had forgotten I existed. They had all my contact information right, if we were living in 2004 still. New administrator, nice fellow, talked with him on the telephone later.
