I might tidy one of my sheds up, today.
There again, I might not.

You are Arthur 'two sheds' Jackson!

You are Arthur 'two sheds' Jackson!

Three, actually, but I'm not boasting

One important shed, and two lesser ones!

Three teas down, time for coffee.

Meanwhile, I have just had a total brain failure. For some reason, when my smart meter's monitor kept showing ''Waiting for data'', I logged into my energy supplier and waited a fair old while to get from virtual assistant to a human behind a keyboard. Why on earth didn't I simply do what we've all been doing for the last 20 years or so: switch it off and switch it on again?

Supposed to be dry today but tomorrow's forecast is dire. Not going triking today as too many other things to do and travelling tomorrow if the Calmac gods are kind.
Some people have strange ideas. Somebody on FB asks " it is very unlikely but can we buy a camera memory card anywhere here?" There are at least 6 shops where you can get such things.
In the past you could get almost anything and also get an expert to fix things if you knew where to ask. There was always somebody somewhere. It you had a faulty telly in the days when such thing got mended rather than junked you went to Margaret's Sweetie Shop and asked for Calum. He could even sell you a new one from stock if you wanted.
Many who come here think we are a shower of hicks. I was once asked seriously if I had ever seen a train and they supposed a trip to Oban was a major event. I refrained from telling them that I had just come up overnight by road from Wales and played along with their weird notions.

Grey and miserable out today. Had my first cuppa and about to make the second then the big deliberation.... what to have for breakfast?

Lovely luncheon of a roast pork & mustard sandwich, a minneola, half an avocado and two

It is currently here.

And my favourite wooden chopping board has disintegrated. Will have to pop into Cutlacks in Ely tomorrow for a replacement.

You must be more careful with the chain saw

I plumped for simplicity and had Weetabix for brekkie

 

[rockyroller]

why do I have a television. maybe to see an old TV space actor actually go to space?

I have cut my toenails to a manageable length now that regular sock wearing is back. It took a long soak in the bath, long enough for the batteries in the bathroom radio to run down.

I've stopped eating Weetabix as they are trying to fire & rehire their staff..
Soz, maybe too political for this thread

Window cleaner has been so I can see out of the windows now

Going for an interview In London, setting off this afternoon. Shoes pressed and skirt polished, big pile of sandwiches made, three flasks of tea made-I come back on Friday.
All I need to do now is go down to the shore to collect a basket of oysters as I believe you can pay your bus fares with them in London.

Wise move with the flasks of tea - a decent cup of tea is surprisingly difficult to find when you're out and about. And good luck with the interview.
