Mundane News

Middle Son just got his grades for his final exams: he's got an overall grade 2, or "good" and a commendation from his school.

Excellent news! Well done him.

My hayfever was really bad this morning. Even after a shower my nose, eyes were streaming but I had to go out in the car for a health check with the local practice nurse. Unusually I put my face mask on during the drive and within 3 or 4 minutes I could breath again and the eyes, nose were normal! Who would have known a face mask helps with hayfever!

Particle sizes are bigger than viruses, hence the mask stops them.

If only masks would stop cat hair...

Hermes have just delivered my new New Balance trainers.

Oddly, the delivery guy said to me that he had to photograph them in a safe place and me standing at the front door wasn't a safe place so he went around the side of the house, rummaged around in the recycling, put the package amongst the recycling and took a photo. Apparently recycling is a safe place!

Am I going mad or is it the rest of the world?

We had something put in the recycling when we were away, then SiL put the bin out for collection.

Reynard's suggestion it is then, race!
That'll show who's quickest on two wheels and with pedal power.

We work different shifts: I start at 08:00 and he runs the bike maintenance workshops so he starts at 10:00 so I'm safe a race won't be possible...

That sounds tempting. I have all the necessaries in the kitchen.

Fish, chips, beer, liquidiser...

 

[Andy in Germany]

Well done that lad!

I'm pretty pleased with him: it was at times very much despite the best efforts of the school system...

Couldn't you stay behind and have a race home. It doesn't have to be into work.

MrsPete must have hit another duck with her car...
She's got another quacked windscreen 55 miles since the last quack incident!

Owing to a paucity of squeezable citrus, I'm going to have a shop-bought pizza instead. I appear to have amassed about 80 cans of beer

I know, I don't know how I managed to run out of lemon.

15 minutes to food time, and Madam Lexi is reminding me that she hasn't been fed since this morning in a month.

Maybe it was just plain Quacker's putting one in that was ready to quack.

Should have used ducklingfilm instead.

Chips, mushrooms, beans and egg for dinner tonight. I wasn't feeling very creative.

I must buy a new element for my grill, I miss toast.
