Just wrangled a multiseed dough into shape. I shall now leave it to do its thing whilst I conduct a thorough inspection of the interior surface of my eyelids. An hour should do it ... or maybe two. We'll both be the better for it.

Eeeek ! how on earth do you do that ? On second thoughts, l'd rather not know !

No shorts whatsoever! I just can't get my head around that! Mind you,i know a few folk who only wear kecks on very hot days,for some reason or another.

I tend to go red & burn if I expose too much flesh, to say nothing of the shock to the neighbours. Beach wear for me is a floppy hat, long sleeves & long trousers.

Oh, if you insist...

That is not the way to treat delicate audio equipment!

It's raining here. And it looks like it's set in for the day. So we're having a quiet day here chez Casa Reynard.

Well, except I have to go to Tesco later...

I don't tend to wear anything where the hemline is above the knee. I have a few too many wobbly bits. Likewise, I like my tops to have sleeves...

I won the race today - walked down to the end of the road as the bin lorry was turning in. They arrived at my house after I'd completed my 1000 steps so I was ready & waiting to bring neighbours & our bin in. Bit cold today & moisture in the air.

Is there anywhere we can get a detailed data set?

Hallelujah, you didn't dissolve in the shower!

Not sure if this counts as mundane but it is about the GPO tower.In the late 1960's l had a flat in Harley Street (how l ended up in Harley St is a story for another occasion) and l was there when the top of the tower exploded . I can't remember if it was an oxygen cylinder or a bomb but it was a hell of an explosion .
Come to think of it l was also living in Harley St. when the Chinese embassy occupants went on the rampage firing handguns at nothing in particular and the local residents retaliated by aiming flowerpots from their window boxes at the Chinese embassy rebels. Those were the days !!

That explosion could have been my cheese fondue!!

Morning!
It has been raining here for a while now .
I seem to be getting a few headaches recently. It started on Sunday and then yesterday morning and then again just when I went to bed !

Interesting, I've been getting a few too.

And the rain in the air has got a bit more rain than air.

Curiously, I can see the BT tower from my window but not the Shard, which is actually much closer. Parliament has slipped out of sight as well.

The Shard's reappeared but the BT tower has disappeared. Still no concrete signs of government.

I hope you've not started to wander like classic33. Can you see Shooters Hill?

I went for a meal in the GPO Tower when it used to revolve.

Even more mundanely, I once knew a girl who a mate was going out with who's father helped design some of the electronics housed within....

I was working th night it was bombed, all our teleprinters switched off because the telegraph circuits were routed through it. Eerily quiet.

It's only the first day of real data.

Working from home and listening to Steve Wright in the afternoon. I remember doing this thirty years ago.
