Is anyone else currently experiencing bunged up sinuses and sneezes for no apparent reason?

Any ideas what it may be?

(Before someone asks, I'm consistently testing negatively for The Coof.)

MrsPete has been like that. No1 daughter, too. Apparently, not every sniff is Coof!

Bin's have bin emptied..
I've applied a squirt of GT85 to the kitchen door hinges as they were a bit squeaky.

At work, in the break room, I believe there is a jigsaw puzzle of that scene, at water level

Various jigsaws have indeed been made of the townscape, most at sea level.

Morning .
It is grey here but with light patches , the horizon is light yellow .
I have put our rubbish bin out .

Thirty minutes on the turbo and my new sheet of exercises from the physiotherapist completed. Trying to balance on my bad leg is er, interesting. Perhaps I should get helmet for safety...

Won't they get wet ?

On a related theme, do you know how true it is that nettles often grow on the sites of old middens or general outdoor peeing places? Something to do with phosphates.

Nettles are indeed an indicator or past or present human habitation. They seem to spread beyond that as well as my whole garden cannot have been a midden. Some would say it is a midden now but perhaps spreading horse and cow dung may have caused that.

Sea defences were raised last year and all sea level premises have a pile of sandbags handy. My old workshop which was the original lifeboat shed was flooded twice to a depth of about 3ft. I kept everything important and all electrical stuff well above that. A chest freezer I had was flooded tho' but WD40 and contact cleaner cleaned it up and it is still working years later.

Another grey and windy day but the gales have temporarily abated.
Got 3 wake up calls on my landline starting at 0645 and then 0725 and 0800. Anybody genuine would have left a message so junk callers getting more persistent. I may start to disconnect that phone overnight if this persists much longer. I have considered dumping the landline anyway but I would need to do a bit of work to tell people to change to my mobile. Cannot be bothered.
Ernie has come up with £50 this month.

Our landline is not plugged in. No-one important ever rang it, just scammers, ne'erdowells and rogues.
The only reason we kept it was when we had Sky. Now we don't so there's no point.

I found a fish bone in a pie once ! Should I have reported it ?

Only if it was a Chicken & Mushroom pie.

You dug up and ate a fish pie!

You'd have no pie to eat, and by the time you got it to the police station the chain of evidence would have gone cold.

Not a great day. I have a leaky bathroom sink and I feel like poo. Spent almost all day in bed being looked after by Mr Cookiemonster.

An early night with a good book's in order.
