My photos still haven't uploaded to Flickr. Excuse me while I go and stoke the furnace, top up the water and build a good head of steam for my Internet connection.

yikes, maybe you should add a hamster wheel

I did a little more on tidying up the shed and seem to have created an even bigger mess in the process

3 piles, 1-keep, 2-chuck & 3-donate. just moving stuff around can only let the previous neat packing explode & expand. Wifey does it all the time with 1 closet in particular. but I've had rare success by adding rolling baker rack style shelves in the center of our basement, leaving a path around the perimeter. our basement walls are lined with shelves & now we have a cluster of shelves in the center. floor to ceiling. & there's the clear path making like a donut shape, between the wall shelving & the center shelving

Greather Anglia have finally released the reduced rate tickets for my trip Nottingham in October, £52 return. I opted for the longer outward leg with fewer changes (6 hours, 2 changes over 4.5 hours, 3 changes), while the return trip takes less than 4 hours (2 changes) thanks to better connection times.

And to go back to the mundanity posted earler, my porridge oats are from Lidl, as are my Not Shreddies. However I will not compromise on Weetabix and have to have the genuine article.

You must never, ever compromise with Weetabix! Must be original!

this summer I made it my goal to try to live in the moment more successfully. afterwards I try to figure out how I did. I can't tell, I think looking backwards means I failed miserably. I love looking forward but then what am I messing up right now? are these existential questions?

just read this excerpt:
"Anxiety occupies a privileged position in existential philosophy. There is something profound and decisive in the notion of anxiety that existential philosophy highlights, namely anxiety's role in the primordial situation of Being and its relation, in an exceptional manner, to the truth, authenticity and to the essential being of our existence."

darnit, can we restart summer?

I have one philosophical saying that I thought of many years ago and used as my Mantra. I`m 61 now and to date it has served me well....
" Always put off until tomorrow what you know you should have done today!"
It works!

Tree linkie
The old mulberry is this one, with my not-a-mulberry tree behind it on the right

Yup, that one's *definitely* a mulberry - it has the right amount of wonkyness to it

The berries are really tasty btw, but they don't half stain your fingers...

Bed for me, too.

Nunnight one and all xxx

Aldi sell own brand Weetabix mini's and they are good.

I digress up early to start my trip to the office today.
Dark outside and I would rather be going on a ride

The annoying hum from the deep-freeze seems to be getting a bit louder. Oh well, the poor dear is twenty-five years old. I'll forgive it.

Bit of mundanity from yesterday: our Yorkie has been ill a lot since February/March and we haven't been able to take him to the groomers. Fortunately, his hair doesn't grow very fast. Now, we couldn't get an appointment with our regular groomers, another I tried never rang me back and the one in Pets at Home wanted £40! So, as the dog doesn't go any where any more (he's 15.5 and can't walk far), I bought some clippers and had a go myself. And while I am not confident enough to put a photo on here, I don't think I did too bad. His head shape isn't the greatest, but this rest is absolutely fine and the dog appears to be much happier except for the fact that the weather has turned and he's now cold!

Lemon juice and salt mixed into a gritty paste removes a lot of the staining, apparently 👍
