Tea?

[Bobby Mhor]

Galway has recorded winds upto 156Kmh, headed your way apparently.
Similar situation here, in a valley. Only really feel it when the wind blows up or down the valley.

Always helpful having a dishwasher handy.
That the "big one" down in Texas?
Kinda spoils it if the result is known beforehand.

The cards cost much when ordering, or do get a discount for bulk orders.
Not that many to go now then. Do you get a certificate for 50,000 contacts?
Think about all that writing the addresses on those cards you did.
Don't slow down on getting them, you'll lose the fun.
Relax watching the game, is that possible.
Enjoy.

Highest gust was 36....
we face E and the W and S rise 240 degrees around us, think Roman amphitheatre..

Cards are bought in 1,000 batches, min order can be 100 but 1,000 will do me for a few years, I've used a few, 1500- 1600 in 6 to 7 years ? I never send, I only send back what I receive...just under 300 per year? I've never counted.
Last lot was £60 for a 1000..
I log the received card, electronic log has a labelling program, print the label, stick them on relevant card batch them up and send package down S to bureau, it sorts cards into countries and they send them, part of my membership of RSGB....saves a fortune on postage.
The German radio org has the right idea, you send your adif file in and they print the cards and distribute.. a great but more likely more expensive idea, I get most cards from there but this time , 60 to 40 % other countries...

Dishwasher is handy, if only two of us.
I'm the person in charge of that...

Off to get more

Nah, you get fatigue
Could get it by start of next year, willing.

Morning all
All well after yesterday?
We had a bamboo in a tub over just before it got dark, dawn will let us know so hopefully all else okay...
think the wind strength was not as expected here..

Owdo
Okay here, empty recycling bin blown over last night.
You'll be going pot hunting soon then.
Maybe being in a dip saved you from the worst of it.

Had a brief test of the anemometer last night, got a steady 27, gusting to 38 mph. Picked up later on, but raining as well, so I stayed inside.
And you're there in a fight to the death...

Not too bad then, price wise. Especially if they handle the postage. Dropping 200 plus cards, separately, into your local postbox would cheer the postman up no doubt.
The German radio org system sounds as though it's close to automation, if not already there. Calls logged, it "writes up" the card and sends it on. Leaving you free to do summat else. That sorta thing doesn't come cheap, so you could be right.
Contacts further afield now popping up a bit more often?

You got one of those manual dishwashers?
Seldom goes wrong, and hardly ever breaks down.

Another load to do?

Would that fatigue be the same as in some materials. Where if it gets really bad, bits start dropping off. . .
Be careful at the end of this year then!

Morning from a wet Towers
Dismal start to the day..
It can only get better

Yeah, although all the near local WX stations weren't reporting high readings.....

I do manual in the morning,
certain things are hand wash only..
just done actually as I made my gruel.

I've a batch to go, last one plus this time around, cards take years sometimes to go through the system, there is also eQSL online which is very well used but logging program handles that easy enough.

Bob's lonely heart club again today..
Mrs M off on retail therapy
Although Storm Toodles will be here later..
Hatten down the batches

High pot readings! how high did they get?

Only one or two items, and you do want them ready for next time.
Thought everything bar bone china were dishwasher safe these days. Or is it a case of you don't trust yer machine.
At least you know it's done and ready for when you want more.

You've still to send them, what were you doing yesterday?
Slower than snail mail, is that even possible.
It'll be all online before long, mark my words.

Replacement plant pots by any chance.
Storm Toodles so soon after Storm Ashley, where'd the time go.
Dull up the prawbridge

'twas bone china..
I'd the previous lot (30 odd?) in a small box but nah, need something else now..
Worst part is separating them into order....

Think we're ahead on the rain front, with no more expected. What we got this morning was the result of a "dry, but colder start to the day".

Get you, bone china gruel bowl!
Six place setting? Something easier, and not as fragile, to wash.
Cup, saucer, side plate, main meal and desert?
Always nice to be able to bring out the good stuff though.

We never added to the rain total..
I have an old chocolate cup (big one) the gruel gets made in...
probably paper plates the best idea...
Cold drink time..

Didn't do too bad today then.
You make yer gruel in yer chocolate cup. Have you no taste, or does it only get used for gruel nowadays.
Possible, but they're getting dearer. Offset by the money, and time, spent on washing ordinary plates.
Cold drink on a coolish night....

 

[Bobby Mhor]

Good morning
Hopefully a dryish one,
some stuff in the postage stamp to do...
then lotsa

Gruel only,

Everything is getting dearer...
it's the age of the grift....

Don't know about that, odd coloured sunrise this morning. Down here at least.
Make sure you don't waste it, they're expensive these days.
Quiet day planned?

Only gruel! Even Oliver was allowed a bowl.
No hot choc, in ages, that'll be against the Geneva Convention. Or is abstinence on your part.
True enough that, carries on like this we'll have plenty of nothing.
Never had you down as someone who'd swindle others.
