Mundane News

Rain's just about stopped here. Should be dry until the evening. Or at least that's what the forecast says.

They've come back asking what sort of salary I'm looking for...

Oooo, neat.

Spoke too soon. It's raining again. And the sun is out. At the same time. But I can see a beautiful rainbow through the window in the hallway.

Blimey I only nipped out for a bottle of milk, just seen the news

Just turned the telly on after seeing a friend's post on FB...

Having just looked back at yesterday's pics I can confirm that @summerdays was correct.

Don't think I've ever said that before

I'm (nearly) always correct..... (well in my head anyway)

I saw this on Twitter and thought of @potsy

Miserable looking chap








.....both the robin and Potsy

Did you take that with your iphone?

Once I get my photography skills up a bit that is the kid of quality you can expect from me when I put pics up in here

R is for red like the robin's red breast,
Of all the Christmas colours, I love it the best.

That little ditty has been going round in my head incessantly ever since I was a seven-year-old in the Greenfield Street Christmas pageant.

You haven't seen the size of the cake One slice is about as far as I can manage

It's a very nice cake though

It's this one: https://www.tesco.com/groceries/product/details/?id=261722967

I picked it up on yellow sticker for £3...

What a surprise, we are off to the theatre again tonight. "The Play That Goes Wrong". Should be laughs.

 

[slowmotion]

Not metaphorically.

Fear not. When 4.5 litres of Pure Virtue is capable of removing glue and grease from my hands, I'll be the first to use it.

I fixed my car key today with the help of the little paper circles out of my hole-punch. The lock button was getting a bit recalcitrant, so I opened it up to find the rubber sheet inside that acts as a spring for the button was beginning to split, thus it wasn't transmitting the force of the button push to the microswitch on the PCB. Hole-punch circles are just the right size. Three of those, and job's a good'un.

Also, the tide of emails offering logo design, website design and even accountancy (I kid you not - I'm writing a bookkeeping web app and those are the only things people are offering me). Only the one today from the domain name supplier that gave me a free domain when I formed the company, offering to sell me one for 30p. Yay.

Well, that pie was really disappointing... Tescos "Finest" chicken, ham hock and leek... Skimpy on the filling and pastry like a shoe sole. Fortunately only 75p on YS, would have been truly peeved if I'd have paid the full whack of £2.50...

Actually, not sure I'd buy it again, even if I ran across it on YS for less than 75p...

Had a great 20 mile blast with @Salty seadog this evening followed by a humongous Shepherds pie made by @Hill Wimp.
Does life get any better?

Enjoy yourselves

That was the most I have laughed at the theatre, apart perhaps at Monty Python. A thoroughly silly show, and much needed this evening.
