Grrrr!!!! Dear Language Unit Co-ordinator.

If you want me to make major changes to several worksheets for the schoolkids, because you screwed up the book order, please give me more than 2 days effing notice!

It's remarkable how people don't realise the amount of time involved in preparing learning materials.

Is it Covent Garden tube station that has about 190 steps up (or down), beaten only by Hampstead with 320?

I seem to recall Goodge Street being pretty deep when the lifts were out of action. Though not the deepest.

Yes, it does. The rest of the chapter merely says we should judge in the context of the bible and Gods Law. and not in the context of worldly things. Jesus speaks of love, and not condemnation. Repentance is valued over haughtiness.

It's quite clear that judgement should be just, not forbidden.

I think that's 3rd in the list..

Yes. Especially as I have several other classes to see to as well. Not just P1.

Do you spoon the excess milk in, or just slurp it?

Add more cereal in to bowl to make it equal 🤣
Bins emptied
Sun's out

Cold start today with outside temp 3C and inside 16C. Nice and sunny so the house will soon warm up and the coal burner does not need to go on till evening.
Too much unpacking and food freezing to get on with today so no time to get out on trike. Tomorrow looks reasonable forecast but nothing but rain thereafter as far as can be seen.
At least when I was away I got 2 good days out of the 5 and importantly I managed to get a haircut.
Amazon appear to have some strange geography. I got a warning that somebody had accessed my account somewhere near Leicester. At the date and time stated I had indeed been on their site with the Macbook mentioned. This was not at home so that probably prompted this. Not sure how far away from Leicester but not far off 400 miles probably.
Off to get on with the work.

Hampstead has the deepest lift shaft. 55.2m.
As for the longest escalator, I remember a sharp intake of breath when I first stepped onto this at Angel (60m).

I know the numbers because I just found them here - https://madeby.tfl.gov.uk/2019/07/29/tube-trivia-and-facts/

Morning.
A bit of blue sky thinking!




I think I can see some blue sky !

We have wall to wall blue here in Stafford

 

[Speicher]

My goodness it's a blowy today: I think I'll take the train back tonight.

Yes, it looks out of place in front of your apartment.

 

[deptfordmarmoset]

I now only have the electricity that I've secreted away in batteries and mobile phone.
The electricity man has just explained what is wrong with my buzz bar.

 

[rockyroller]

what is wrong with my buzz bar?

what's wrong w/ your buzz bar?

 

[Gravity Aided]

What is your buzz bar?

 

[deptfordmarmoset]

what's wrong w/ your buzz bar?

I only pretended to understand but it doesn't seem to be long enough to accommodate the cooker fuse which should be there.

 

[deptfordmarmoset]

What is your buzz bar?

I gather that it's a copper bar that acts as an extra protection against water ingress for sockets such as the cooker. But that's just a way of saying I don't know.

EDIT: further investigation tells me it's actually a busbar (or bus bar)
