Just been over the fence to hack down nettles and 'cleavers' (had to look them up - those very sticky weeds). They have gone mental over the fence and invaded the cat run, so the cat's are coming in with the seeds stuck to them. Hacked them back away from the cat run, but I'm covered in nettle rash - some were 4-5 feet tall (it's a field behind our house).

Bike washed, it was minging. Combination of dust and oil over the jockey wheels, and the chain was horrid. All clean until next time.

I've put some filler in the other wall of the stairs and rubbed it down and then painted it . It is amazing how much paint remain in the roller when the time comes to clean it out .
It has been spitting with rain here .

Great idea , buy some real coffee and a percolator ( or even an espresso machine) , just don't waste your money on some freeze dried fakery

Expresso is well worth the expense.

I don’t usually bother cleaning foam rollers just dump them after I’ve finished

It's stopped raining here. Debating whether to have some bike time, but I bet that if I stay put, it will stay dry, if I go out, it will rain.

Anyways, I had a very nice lunch of a cheese sandwich, a tangerine, blueberries and two

HDMI to HDMI delivered same day from you know where. Desk nearly set up for WFH - MrsF has been using her sewing table, which stops her using her sewing machines.

And so it was. I stayed in, and it's not rained.

Although I've had a very nice girly pamper session instead.

I'm now watching the footy.

Look on it as a service to the community.

Never clean rollers til you've finshed the room/s simply put em in plaggy bags/wrap in 'clingfilm' and then if you're using '5 for 99p' rollers by all means bin em but i've got some 'pro' level rollers that were £8-12 each*, I've had a couple of those for 30+ years

* that's just for the tubes, the 2 frames (one 9" the other 12") were about £25 each, beech handles with threads in the bottom for extension poles

If you're watching on ITV, it's not raining in the London portrayed outside the studio. But it is pouring down here. It's pre-recorded weather that they're showing.

Green screen, huh?

That's a good wheeze: can I have some of the pre-recorded weather delivered here?

They are actually edible, but seeings that touching them gives me a bad rash, I've never actually enacted my revenge on the bloody things...

(They are very pervasive here, btw)
