Here is a another conundrum for you!

I bought a second water butt, something I had been thinking about for months. Yesterday it got connected to a down pipe. Will it be my fault if we do not get any rain, or my fault if we get lots of rain?

Yes.

Right, time to do some more kitchen stuff.

22 millipedes of rain in Chippenham .

It is indeed as any houses for sale get snapped up at inflated prices very often sight unseen to be use for short term letting to tourists.
There is now a slight trend away from that as one house near me was sold to a local couple after the owner died and more are beginning to think the same way when such houses come on the market.
Not just confined to here of course and my brother in Shetland tells me the same buying unseen for holiday lets is a real problem there as well. Orkney is also pretty bad as well as any tourist area.

Ooh! A good possible scam ! Selling pictures of houses which don't exist !

Rather wet evening dog walk, made even wetter as I was calling of MrsPete to open the back door & close the lounge door so I could dry me & dog.
She didn't close the door as she could not get off the settee due to a spider holding her hostage. 🕸

Eventually, dripping even more, we managed to gain entry to the house 🏡

Roast chicken, garlic & rosemary new potatoes*, steamed green beans and a tomato salad.

* the chicken was sat in the roasting tin atop the potatoes, with stock, rosemary and about eight crushed garlic cloves.

The world is very good right now.

Work over for the day.

The nights are fair drawing in now. Dark at 9:30. Next think people will be talking about the Bah! Humbug!

I went to have breakfast in a cafe in Stranraer a few months back and I found the two members of staff standing outside. The problem was that she had found a spider in the till when giving a customer change so they have to vacate the premises while another customer removed the offending arthropod from the till. (I wonder did they help themselves to a tenner for their trouble!)

Along with a handfull of others, I have been awarded a £300 bonus at work for our additional efforts at keeping the place running so far this year - it's nice to know that management are aware of those who actually put in extra hard work rather than just handing out something to the whole team. I've not redeemed it yet as it's not cash but vouchers which will probaby be for the likes of Argos, Currys, John Lewis, etc.

That's really nice that management appreciate the bods who do the donkey work.

£300 is enough to get yourself something really nice.
