Good morning all. Been half awake since 02.30
8° at the moment and set to be overcast all day.

Il pleut ☔
I love the smell of wet dog in the morning... 🐶

Pressure washers don't use that much water.

That got me interested enough to Google it (I know, sad eh).
Apparently an average domestic one uses 2 gallons per minute while commercial ones use 10 gallons per minute.
It's all relative but that seems a lot to me.

Good morning all.
It looks a bit grey and damp outside this morning. The forecast rain has arrived. The cats didn't look too happy going out..
Sainsbury's are delivering the weekly goodies, plus they have an offer on the wine, buy six bottles and save an extra 25%, so i have stocked up on some of my favourite reds.🍷🍷.

I'll read the destruction manual on mine and see if it says anything.

Morning. A long lie for me. It seemed quite dark anyway so I suspected it wasn’t very nice out. It’s overcast, misty and drizzling so I was correct.

Not sure whether to put the waterproofs on and walk before breakfast or just wait until the rain goes off later.

Molly just gobbled her breakfast so quickly that she went and puked it back up again. Of course she never does it on a hard floor, always on a carpet.

Youngest 21st today so wife and I up pinning ballons and banners around the house before she emerges. Typically I puntured one in the act and cats had a fit!

Yeah we have 3 cats like that. It's uncanny how they always manage to spew in house on carpet rather than outside in garden.

Morning all

All of our mates are coming round today as it was MrsDs birthday yesterday and her best friend's is on Monday. They're all stopping overnight, so we should have fun.
Was collared by my neighbour yesterday and he said that he'd been to the Railway Inn and paid for our next Sunday lunch as a gesture of thanks for when I helped him out when he was ill last year.
Totally unexpected and it took me aback a bit. It's nice to have good neighbours.

All this talk of cats reminded me of this useful gadget.

I'd need the heavy duty version, we've got Maine Coons and they are massive!

Owdo

Maximum 36 bottles in any single purchase.

I've descaled my coffee machine. Later this morning I have to get the ladders out of the shed & get some stuff out of the loft.
