[Andy in Germany]

I've got a new laptop.

If you can read this, it works.

 

[Reynard]

It is good and proper here.

It is p...p........persisting down good and proper here.

I've had washing on the line all day today, since dawn. It was probably getting somewhere near dry, when a huge torrent descended on us about quarter of an hour ago sending it straight back to square one. Sopping, no doubt. So the question now is, do I leave it out overnight so that it dries tomorrow, or do I fetch it in, and use the tumble drier and the airing cupboard? Or, indeed, fetch it in, then peg it out again tomorrow morning?

 

[Slioch]

Whiskey doesn't count.

Mock ye not!
I stayed in a posh(ish) hotel in Ambleside a few years back (The Salutation at the top of the main street) and as part of their breakfast offering they had a big pot of porridge and, beside it, a decanter of single malt whisky for those so inclined to add a splash. I can recommend it .

Airing cupboard, methinks. If you leave it out overnight, you'll probably be able to stack it up like slates in the morning.

It's been raining here on and off since lunchtime. This morning's load of laundry was hung on the airer in the bathroom. It's nearly all dry, except for my jeans. Those will be dry by the morning.

Didn't sleep well. I really hate it when my head does this to me.

Am also rather sore. That might be the couple of hours I spent wielding telescopic loppers yesterday. My right knee is also not thanking me.

Mostly. Found out last night that someone dear to me is rather pawly.

Sorry to hear that.
Hope your worries, and aches and pains are easier today and you get a better sleep tonight.

We had a lovely red sky a little while ago.

Thanks hun xxx

Things are... easier... today. Might nip into Ely Cathedral when I'm in town later in the week to light a candle and have some quiet time. That always seems to help.

Bring it in and wash it again, before pegging it back on the line tomorrow.

Can't see a thing but have fun setting ing up the new laptop.

 

[Gravity Aided]

Looks good, @Andy in Germany .

 

[Gravity Aided]

Currently sitting in the waiting room at clinic for Mrs. GA, listening to The Clash on the speaker system. I have a face mask with Poomba from the Lion King.

 

[Reynard]

I need to start prepping supper: thai-spiced crab, noodles and stir fry veg (carrots, broccoli, red pointy pepper and green beans)

There might be some rocky road for afters.
