Main reason, matt paint is lighter than gloss paint.

There's also a similar effect to the dimples on a golf ball, but on a microscopic level.

yep it's called 'boundary effect'

Sorry, I forgot 😔

Is the sea a bit wet this morning?

Always.

Another lovely morning. Time for my walkies

First cuppa went down without touching the sides
Sky is a light grey colour
For the second night running our nature watch camera is lying face down i wonder what keeps knocking it over ?

Isn't that classified as a cruel & unusual punishment under the Geneva Convention?

In a roundabout kind of way, yes..

 

[PeteXXX]

OK OK, I know.. It's time to get up.
It's hoovering day and also work today 😔

I would have happily come back downstairs. Would just have had a shorter bath, that's all.

You have an extendable bath ?

Good to see that the council have been busy destroying another of my favourite cycling roads with loose chippings

It makes me angry!!!! .
If we did a similar thing we would be accused of being wasteful !
All of those councilors should be forced to cycle the same route after it has been done to see what effect it has done . It is like all rough road surfaces. It consumes more energy for what ever uses that road, from vehicles to pedestrians . More energy consumed more CO2!

Morning.
No sign of the fairies so far ! I am aching a bit though !

"Are there girl and boy subjects?"

A bit hard for me to say as I went to a boys school.
I didn't half get a rollicking from my mum for choosing history instead of geography ! I'm glad I did ! I found geography to be absolutely boring . From what I can remember is what countries produced bauxite! Aluminium. History was interesting until it got to the political bit !
I found some bits of maths interesting . I liked using log tables and trickynometry! I absolutely hated matrices!

I can't find my spork!!

The council say it is safer as it provides better traction. Anyone who says it is safer has clearly never been pinged with chippings by a passing car.

Don't they talk b******s! Like the police saying that road markings will make drivers more wary and careful!

Plus it only ever seems to last months before it all starts breaking up again and you end up with bumpy ridges. Hate the stuff. If you ever get the chance to have a spin on a beautiful new, smooth surface before they put them on top, it is absolute bliss.
