Heavy showers here . There is a large puddle forming on our back lawn stretching across the path . Since the rain started after the drought our water butts are now overflowing . Several buckets that are in the garden are also full . So it looks like we have had several inches of rain .

We've had less than 1/2" but the groundwater is already pretty high.

election deniers are running for office

Yeah, I can't imagine how else they got in.

Been watching coverage of your midterms with a growing sense of disbelief. Where the heck do people come up with this kind of garbage?!?!?!

I've noticed that all the weirdness seems to come from rural and less-well-off republican states. Makes me wonder whether those politicians are leading people by the nose with all these daft theories to cover up for their own ineptness in government.

Makes some of the UK electorate and politicians seem positively truthful, free-thinking and well-informed.

I really feel for our CC correspondents over the other side of the pond.

I thought the weirdness came from the guy falling up the steps.

Time to check the gears on Hebe Jr's bike. This will not take long given my very limited diagnostic skills.

Well that was easier than I thought. It's just cross-chaining, which is much more of a thing on her double than it ever was on my triple. Solution presumably is just not to use those gears. That might explain why she rarely moves off the smaller front ring, even after we made the shifting easier for her.

I think I'll check the settee out for horizontal comfort for a while.

I did that last Sunday and contracted covid!!

It is kersplushing it down. So much for the trip to the community orchard.

Anyways, had a lovely luncheon of a cheddar, mozzarella and mango chutney* toastie, plus a pear, a minneola and two

* the scrapings from the pot that I ran out of jar space for.

First lot of washing blowing in the wind
Second lot spinning nicely in the machine
Second cuppa went down well

It's a good opening line blowin in the wind,but then it falls away a bit.I prefer Bob Dylans version,but well done for trying.

 

[Gwylan]

Well, when it wasn't, I did. Very pleasant it was too.
Aldi was very busy and all the staff were at lunch or Christmas shopping or something.

Misread that, wondered why he would keep files in his trousers. ....

Another working day has passed

 

[Reynard]

Time for a and a Min Spy,

While I wait for both filler and glue to dry.

Oh man, that rhymed,

I'm dreadful.

I used to hate those type of traing days with a passion. The latest buzzwords I think were the worst.

Especially as this is about helping people with disabilities in the workplace, something I've been trained in and have some experience of, and the person running the course has neither.

Spare a thought for those obliged to deliver those courses. They know what you, the audience, think. But those upstairs have been brow beaten into saying that it is good for the company, family, team or whatever.

She's getting well paid, and to be fair she probably is helping most of the attendees, who generally aren't trained and/or don't have much experience.

Unfortunately a number of the things she's said are going to cause more harm than good.

Never there when you need him.

He's sleeping on my wife's lap at this moment.

Those Tesco's "Finest" streusel-topped mince pies are nice enough, but I find them too sweet.
