Does it need descaling?
Hmm, talking of coffee.....

No, it's a B2C machine and it gets serviced when it demands it, so that's not the issue. It's either the drive unit itself, or the brewing unit, I think. My post prompted me to drop a note to the nice people at Redber coffee for their advice, so there may be a small news update at some point

Talking mundane news, I was walking on a small country road not far from us the other day and came across this, as you do:



All theories welcome.

Folks it's duct tape, not duck tape. Orininally used to seal joints in air conditioning ducts.

Well, actually, it is duck tape, named for the cotton duck backing the rubber based adhesive was applied to. Although the common etymology has become duct tape, actually foil tape would be better for ducts as it does not deteriorate in heat, as duct tape will over long exposure to heat.

Pedantic rant over now.

I wondered where I dropped it.

Well that was a very foggy and damp ride! Hardly a soul around by the sea though and the country roads were quiet.

Nice but chilly walk around a local nature reserve

Cool, murky and drizzly here chez Casa Reynard.

I have emptied the groceries from the car this morning, and stashed them in the utility room. I have also tidied up one of the "general dumping areas" under a worksurface in the kitchen. A whole lot of stuff has been consigned to the recycling, and some little-used baking equipment has been moved to the utility room. Which means I now have a good temporary space for the stuff that was kept in the hallway that I don't want ratty to get at.

There is sewing and soup-making planned for this afternoon.

It is time for luncheon.

Very foggy here, I cannot see much beyond the house opposite. At the top of this hill, It is like living on an island, the sea and sky are the same shade of grey.

 

[Oldhippy]

Still very foggy here as well. I was wearfull waterproofs out earlier.

I took the offer of a lift to have a seaside perambulation today. Very misty but nice a fresh.

Had to reinforce my defences against red deer who are persistent b----s.
Also somebody has been climbing over my garden fence as a shortcut to next house. Probably a temporary postman/woman as our regular does not do this.
My snowdrops are starting to show and they are destroying them. The fence really needs replaced but I do not see why I should pay the whole cost so negotiations are continuing tho' the other side is not keen and I am not too bothered about the appearance of it.

Both the lifts are out of service. I've just carried the shopping up 98 steps. I may spend the rest of the day playing Rapunzel.
