Afternoon all.In complete contrast to yesterday's sunshine, it's been a dull, grey, overcast and windy day in south east Suffolk. Perfect for a day indoors doing a bit of housework and yet more bike cleanning with quite a lot of of sitting around listening to the radio & drinking coffee thrown in.

I still haven't got round to writing the Christmas cards.

Invisibility.

Have you got the Elder Wand and the Resurrection Stone as well?

When I made my earlier remark about grey socks, I should of course have said 'socks of one colour'. The colour doesn't matter as long as they are all the same!

Wouldn't work here - not *ALL* of my socks are pink, and not all of them have the same degree of fluffiness

 

[Reynard]

Well, decs down from the loft, garage tidied up, and now I can chill for a bit.

And it's almost time for a and a smackerel of something.

Toast one side of the bread. Chop the onion. Turn bread over. Sprinkle onion on bread, then put slices of cheese on top. Back under grill till suitably melted.

I don't bother to toast one side of the bread. I just take a slice, sprinkle it with onion powder (or sometimes garlic powder), cover with grated cheese and put under the grill to melt the cheese. Sometimes I garnish with thin slices of tomato. Simple and tasty!

Then you are forever condemned to occasionally getting it wrong. My advice? Turn a light on when getting dressed. I know that sounds like a simple fix but it seems some on here hadn't thought of it

Actually, I tend to blooper in the sartorial stakes when I'm in a hurry rather than through lack of illumination. Although at least I can tell if my bra is inside out, because if it is, then it's impossible to do up!

Not again!
I looked up and there was another little one at the bird feeder.
This time it was the afternoon . I ran out with the Hedgehog catching box . It's an empty bid food box which is ideal for rolling them into .
The rescue centre is full of them at the moment plus we must be reporting our local numbers of them . My wife told me to get the old rat cage out of our shed . I picked up the cat box by mistake . When I eventually found the rat cage I gave it a thorough clean out .
My wife said that we needed a heat source. "We haven't got an old hot water bottle ?" She asked me . Of course I have ! My garage is full of stuff too good to throw away . I found it !
Whilst all this was going on the little Hedgehog was chomping away on some food. It was too busy eating to notice us . We managed to put it in the cage and it is now in our spare bedroom .
Apparently it has now climbed up onto a towel on top of the hot water bottle .

The swelling will go down the doctor said.So I was making the bed up this morning.Mrs P was going through some old clothes she had in the wardrobe.Oh look at this she said,I bought this when we first started to go out 30 years ago.And it still fits.I said it's a bloody scarf.Just after that everything went black......I can't find the jokes area today for some reason and I like this one.

Have you got the Elder Wand and the Resurrection Stone as well?

Why, have you lost them again?

 

[Reynard]

Why, have you lost them again?

Well, since you appear to have the Cloak of Invisibility, I was assuming you might also have the other Hallows...

They're coming to fit the new washer/drier tomorrow, with mine having gone pop early Tuesday am.

So ... I've cleaned the kitchen thoroughly including under the washing machine . Must have it all sparkly and nice*

* I've done this when house-swapping, having usually spent a week cleaning before going away. Why? If the incoming house-swappers see a lovely clean house, with a welcome pack in the fridge, they're more likely to look after the house AND be relieved thinking I'll look after theirs.

Doubly annoying is that when I had the great idea about the timer I had already ziptied the whole caboodle together, so I had to cut them off and now I've got to cut them off again to reset the timer.

Why not put the timer in the house & plug the ext lead into it?

I'm using the outdoor socket which I have.

Whilst I'm on another bind of having a power cut is my kitchen has three ovens (greedy, I know) and each has a display of time and date, which I have to reset after a power cut, and the nerd in me means they must show the same times. I hate it when one is a minute or two different to the others. Needless to say it's a right faff setting the times on them.
For some reason the default date is 1.1.14.
