That’s why I started doing all my own washing and ironing about three years ago. I got fed up of having odd socks in my drawer, or my son’s socks.

She’s obviously more cunning than I thought.

Have you finished your washing and ironing yet ?

The Beeb said that the government will be holding a crunch meeting . Will that include crisps, crackers and nuts ?

Well there are a few that are 'crackers' in the government at the mo, the odd nut too.

Day 2 of Home Alone . I can see that rain does have it's advantages after filling and carrying 14 watering cans full of water to water various things .
Our water butts are becoming depleted due to all of the watering so I'm restricting it to the pond .
My evening meal last night was utterly tasteless ! If it hadn't been for the writing on the packaging I couldn't have guessed what it was . Rubber !
I noticed that they have managed to reduce the salt to an undetectable level, but that was soon sorted .
Due to this heatwave I thought it was only appropriate that I should watch " Ice Cold in Alex " ! I didn't manage to see all of it as I kept getting up and down doing things . Oh yes ! just remembered ! It was looking out for the Hedgehog .
I did see the bit with the Bristol Beaufighter flying past .

I have seen a frog in the garden. So I have put out (in the shade) a shallow bowl of water with some stones in it, the frog can have some water if he or she needs it. I think one of the cats is drinking the water.

I'd normally go to bed at 9, but tonight it's 50 mins early thanks to another power cut, 1 wk after the last. I think Melbourne's power grid is getting senile.

We've got a 'Bee Water' dish (a plant pot holder full of Marbles) and the Cats drink the water in that.

Do bees need water? I didn't know that. What happens if the bee's knees get wet?

Nothing worse than those 'Donkey Jacket' Blazers that everyone wore back in the 70s, I refused to wear one and made my parents fork out for a 'Barathea' one instead (as worn by the 'cool kids')

A man's gotta take a stand on some things.

Too true, I also used to wear my Fawn Pinstripe 'Oxford Bags' trousers instead of the regulation Blue or Black trousers as "My other trousers are in the wash Sir".

Sounds like a step backwards on the Uniform front. one of the advantages of German schools is that there's no uniform requirement.

Nor in the U.S., unless you go to parochial school. Then, you've got a uniform.

It's hot in Glasgow again today.

We'll be dining in the garden again today.
Going for 10 in a row !

Sounds like you folks all need air conditioning.

 

[raleighnut]

Sounds like you folks all need is to stop moaning about the weather.

FTFY.
