Mundane News

Right, it's almost time to feed the cats, and then it will be time to feed me.

Lots of military activity today, there's a Chinook just going over the house, it's quite low as the windows are rattling 😮

Younger Son just got his mid term grades for his Gymnasium (Translation "A-Levels on steroids"), which he needs to study to be a spots/maths teacher. They're pretty good.

Now, my kids are half Japanese and Younger Son has my sense of humour. When I congratulated him his response was "I'm Asian, It's like the rhyme says: Roses are red, Violets are blue, there's always an Asian who is better than you."

To be fair, remembering my grades in Maths and Sport, he can't have got his abilities from me, so he's probably right.

They've got a Badminton module next semester. I've told him that's cultural appropriation.

Snow and ice build up on your chimney-pipe, when the furnace runs, and the sun is out, this cap melts enough to fall off. and slide down your roof

thank you but I don't think that was it. I regularly look at my roof & when we have snow, I rake it off. we haven't had any requiring that kind of maintenance

They also crap in your seed beds if proper outdoor cats which is b—-y annoying to put it mildly. It also means I have to use traps for mice which destroy anything plastic in my shed/workshop.

we had a cat, when we lived in an apartment, w/ a back porch, w/ a divider between us & our neighbor. one day I discovered that our cat was "visiting" their porch for regular-relief-pit-stops. we were horrified! but the neighbors never used their porch. I feel so bad for whoever, ever went out there after we moved & had to clean it up

Don’t get on the Tube or a train like that…

At least he'll have the train to himself.

Managed a couple of hours riding today. Nice in sun but ice and frost lurking in the shadows.

I'm rather full of carrot, sweet potato and red lentil soup (there's also a stray parsnip in there that needed using), which then got followed by haggis, tatties, roasted neeps and whisky sauce. Well, it's actually armagnac sauce, because that's the bottle that was open.

Was all very tasty.

I do love good comforting stodge.

Mundane news for you lot not for me.Hearing aids ready two weeks on Saturday.

Total mundane day.

Knocked out meals for a sort of soup kitchen we run under the radar for locals.

Ophthalmology after lunch. Getting my tear ducts flushed. Threat of a minor operation.

Result should be being able to cycle without my eyes streaming.

If there was a similar voluntary scheme around here, that's something I'd enjoy doing.

I'd prescribe Thai red curry paste by the spoon instead - straight from the tub.

The masala cauliflower soup I had for tea seems to be working well 🫢

My hands felt just like 2 balloons.

When I was a child I had a fever.
