I couldn’t eat them. I have a bizarre phobia. I hate looking at things covered in holes.

Good morning folks. We are forecast rain this evening 🌧️.
You know how I mentioned Ernie depositing £350 into my account a couple of days ago? Had a message from my daughter to say her computer had packed up ( long story involving a workaround after she broke the screen on the original). Anyway she has been looking at Chromebooks as an option for her University work and mentioned a couple of options she was considering. I'm reasonably clued up so checked over her choices. The best choice for her is available at JL for £325. Ah well, at least I will have £25 to spend on myself 🤣

Ive two water butts and thinking of upping capacity to four. I had four at the old place and even nearly a thousand litres of water would run out when watering me veggies during long hot spells.

Agreed plenty of storage is a great asset. I have +/- 900 litres. There's a well in the village about 30 metres from our front door. Every time I go to the allotment I fill a watering can and take it up with me. Every drop helps.

I see Garmin have kicked up a bit of a stir with customers over introducing a Connect Plus subscription. £6.99 for mostly worthless AI stuff. No way I would pay for it. Their devices are already expensive enough. If they start reducing what we get for free on the existing app, I will be off to Coros when I fancy a new device.

We've only got 4000............well, OK, in 1967 we had 4000. Then everyone wanted some and look where that's got us!

No sieves in your house then?
