Indeed it's Lost Empire.

To give up on real books ??? No way ! A proper paper book is something ... real. Feels different than e-book. I have got 15 books at home waiting to be read.

I thought for a while there you had given up on real books, when you posted that.
Nice to know I was wrong.

For reasons I can't disclose I'm off to Wye.

Have you been reactivated?

 

[oldwheels]

I don't know! I expect it has finished but I expect it is repeated somewhere . I avoid all cooking programmes !

Why can't they bring back good programmes , repeats of Local Hero's or Meet the Ancestors ?

That was the only cooking programme I ever watched. Present day ones are generally unrealistic and Mary Berry gives me the creeps.

 

[oldwheels]

Agreed. I've got easily 2 dozen books to read. Lots to catch up on.

I probably have as many books as our local library. Many belonged to my late wife but I have an enormous collection as well. Working my way through them but enough to see me out I think.

Hot hot hot here. Just been along the cliffs and scrabbled down some rocks to the beach nobody usually gets too.
Dog had a swim and we sat n watched the sea go by.
It started getting too hot some went home. Sat in the shade now as it's just burn city now for an hour or two.

Still very misty and damp and an enormous cruise liner in the bay. Many skippers will not venture in and anchor out in the sound. The inmates if they are allowed into the town are a blasted nuisance and never in our experience spend much. The best one I remember all had Isle of Man currency which we were the only shop to accept. Mostly they are bused off to tourist "attractions'. One step up from tour buses who were notorious for shoplifting.
A restaurant in Fionnphort announces that it is fully booked for evening meals until June 22nd.

Inspired by @Reynard , I have reactivated my original Swatch, as well as my Caravelle. I am enjoying this little analog intrusion into the present day.

[DCLane]

Hope it goes well @cookiemonster . I remember Tai Koo from teaching visits there.

wearing my ice pack on my head in anticipation of 4 hrs on my feet at the store. outdoor temps will be I the upper 90sF. the store has A/C but it often feels like it's not on, combined with physical labor, the experience can be quite daunting. before covid when I worked a full shift I would change all my clothes at lunchtime. haven't had to do that in a cpl years. now I only work 4 hrs on Sundays. so I expect I'll just get soaked, then go home & shower. too bag I can't wear my ice pack while I work, hehe

I watched "Natural World" last week, BBC 3 or 2? It was about the birds of the Scottish Highlands, and was very good.
