Good morning. It's surprisingly cold in the mornings here, considering how hot the weather gets during the day.

I may need to go shopping later.

Time for breakfast.

Nice bright morning and time for my walk.

I think a drop in temperature would be masked by the hot flushes that I get at the very thought of Nicole.

How do you get on with Papa?

 

[Deleted member 1258]

Oi! Hot flushes are *MY* territory!!!

Although having said that, you're welcome to my share if you're really that desperate...

You can keep em, I used to get them and I'm glad they've stopped.

Garden birds have been fed
First cuppa going down well
Very high and cliffy clouds with some blue sky, looks like another warm day ahead.

Morning .
There was an old work mates get together yesterday . It started at 4 and I stayed on until 9 before walking home . I had a few pints of cider shandy which were surprisingly cheaper than the half pint I had on Friday when I went out on a cycle ride with my friends . £2.00 per pint compared with £5.75 per half !
It was good to see the chaps I worked with in a garage back in 1978 . A lot of us went on to better jobs after leaving the place .
I had a tin of Heenz baked beans and sausages on toast drowned in a red watery liquid when I got back. Not very appetising!

I've just ordered a washing machine from work. I asked how much is would cost. The electrical department chief replied "How much do you want to pay for it?"

There are advantages to working here.

We agreed on a price of 50 €*. There's no guarantee but it is fairly new and will be properly checked before they sell it. Also a new one costs upwards of 350 € so Even in the worst case scenario I've delayed the cost of a new machine for a few months after moving, which makes a big difference.

*ETA: A client would probably be charged 20 €, so I'm not freeloading.

3 miles in my legs after walking the girl to her bus stop. Lots of admin to do today.

The never ending roadworks continues and now they've got holes dug everywhere and have closed the pavement on both sides. I was a rebel and walked in the road rather than follow the "diversion" signs which would actually add quite a bit of time.

The girls had Felix AGAIL with chicken & beef for their supper.

I went all 1970s this evening and had a seafood cocktail made with those crab stick things, lettuce, spinach, watercress, tomato, avocado and home made Marie Rose sauce. Oh, and some bread & butter on the side.

You mean those pink coated things supermarkets sell? Cannot imagine how they get off with calling them crab as I shudder to think what they actually contain but I doubt if much if any is crab.

Been rain overnight and a day of sunshine and showers seems to be in prospect. Not that warm tho' at 11C when I got up.
I need to get the big wellies on and clear a path to my top shed as that is where I probably got a tick the other day. They seem to be particularly bad this year as a mild winter meant they continued to infest and presumably breed faster.
I used to wild camp a lot but now apart from any other reason the prospect of probably getting ticks every day is not appealing.

Neighbour's car has been arsoned last night (burned completely). My car was next to it so it's damaged - front of it melted so I can't drive it. Eeeehh ...

On a rare confluence, it's both ♻ Bin Day and Bed Stripping Day!
