And........the Aldi dash went quite well.
We have bog rolls
We have hand soap
We have food
I have a bottle of malt whisky
Getting ready for something to eat now.

Good morning folks, very windy here but no rain yet.

Just started here.Pleased forecast is dry for tomorrow Have a trip to the dump booked to dispose of a freezer 😖😖😖

 

[pawl]

Nope. Never. I know them as "haulm" but that's a general term which covers many different crops. It's the stalk or stem of peas, beans, potatoes, grains but without the edible crop.

Back in the day I remember Percy Thrower calling them haulms

Why do I say back in the day when I can’t remember when something happened.👨🏻‍🦳👨🏻‍🦳👨🏻‍🦳

Bonjour. Where is the rain that was supposed to come during the night and should still be here this morning? at the moment with white clouds. so no signs of any rain.
Apparently, Conwy county will be on lockdown as from 6pm tomorrow night together with Denbighsire, 10 miles away, where my son lives, so I will go and see him tomorrow. As he is going back to Taiwan on October 15th, it may be the last time I see him till Christmas if the locjkdown remains.
Off to walk Molly now. Have a good day everyone.

Ahh. Here’s the bin lorry. I will need to go out in the rain to get the bin in.

 

[gavroche]

It is raining now , just a drizzle but enough for Molly and I to get wet.

 

[gavroche]

Can't you wait till the rain stops?

 

[SpokeyDokey]

Very wet and miserable.

Jobs list to do today:

put new insulated cover on cold water tank in loft,

recement the surround to the lounge open fire with appropriate sticky fireproof gunge,

realign the dishwasher with the rest of the kitchen units as it has started to retreat under the worktop - trickier than it might appear!

Wonderful!

It’s not going to if the forecast is correct. Horrible out there.

Going to walk mini D to school then a bike ride to the t'other side of Northampton to measure up Daughter #3's garden for a shed.

I darent trust her to do it for herself. On the one hand she's very clever, a qualified accountant at barely 23. On the other, this is the lass that thought a leprechaun is what you turned into when you have leprosy

She sounds like my granddaughter.

You mean you might be related!!

And in other news.........
I am with DONGLE!!!
I have a dongle
I am no longer dongle-less
Thanks @ColinJ and Paul.
I opened the battery compartment and searched around.......it was difficult to find. Nothing to indicate it was there.
Absolutely stupid not to have, maybe a diagram or instruction.
You have save me a 4 mile round trip,

Not to mention the embarrassment when the (probably, young) shop assistant, points out where the offending dongle is, and, that it is not missing at all.

 

[Dave7]

Ahh. Here’s the bin lorry. I will need to go out in the rain to get the bin in.

Well, while you are out would you sort ours out please.
No point us both getting wet
