Mundane News

I've found the one clock I didn't change to GMT yesterday evening - the central heating timer. It makes no difference as I didn't move it to BST in the spring anyhow.

The only ones I changed last night were the ones on the boiler and temperature sensor. Never bother to set the time on the cooker or microwave and most others are automatic.
Needed a pair of new sweatshirts so was going to go to Matalan but then I saw their was 15% off Tu. Strange, did not recall seeing any signs yesterday in Sainsbury's. So back their only to discover the offer was online only. Did however pick up a pair each 50p cheaper than Matalan. Forgot to pick up any suet balls yesterday and found they were sold out. Obviously others have found the feathered ones like them. An expensive pack of Peckish ones bought instead.

Today's clock news is that my microwave is now showing the right time again. It's definitely a GMT microwave.

My (rarely used) alarm clock on the bedside table receives a signal from Frankfurt.

So at least one clock shows the right time.

I think that a fragile peace has broken out between Kizzy and Bob.

I know that we are not supposed to anty amtrop anthropomorphize our pets, but is it possible that Bob thinks Kizzy likes Leo (the intruder), or she has got close enough to Leo to pick up his scent?

A few pre lunchtime cuppas were had along with a tasty chunk of homemade flapjack.

It's chilly outside but dry , I think a lazy afternoon is planned

Das Boot!
After a good depth charging the bathroom is starting to flood!
I'm having to replace the flush as it won't stop trickling. I thought I had a new one in my garage but that was a 1.5 inch exit instead of 2 inch. A trip to Q&B with a new one. Removed the cistern and fitted the new parts. That is when the depth charging took place. It started flooding. Drained the cistern and swopped one of the seals for the previous one and refitted. Connected it all up and flooding again.
I'm now having a coffee before I seal the bathroom with Plumbers Mate.

On testing, I think I've overdone the chili slightly ♨️ 😂 ♨️

That's the Madison! And credit to Leach who really dug in at the end. I don't know her.

We've known her since she was about 12 and often see her out training as she's local. Oh, and I once nearly dropped her when holding for a velodrome track start. She's a big unit!

An afternoon catching up with some of what TV we have recorded.

A light tea is all that's required

I had to look her up, Leech not Leach. And then I heard her West Yorkshire accent. She's from Huddersfield, I gather. She doesn't look that big so it must all be muscle.

Cycle path to be completed Isham to Kettering this week 👍

A question for cycle chat , we visited a local garden centre cafe just before lunchtime and quite a few tables were reserved just down the road is a pub that does lunchtime food and that also looked busy and I was thinking there's also a prison 300 metres away could both establishments be busy with people that have or are about to visit detainees?

So that's why the island on junction 9 has warning signs about delays for 30+ weeks then I suppose.

There looks like a cycle path runs alongside the new bit of dual carriageway but behind a hedge so presumably it will connect up to the footpath coming up from Tesco's
