A lovely sunny day over here in south east Suffolk. Quite warm in the sunshine other than for the morning commute where a set of thermal boxer shorts under the Bikesters would have come in quite handy.

To celebrate the start of my weekend, the final grade 2 hair cut of the year was done when I got home from work - from now on I'll let it grow to provide a bit of thermal covering for winter.

Doing the same with my beard. Had to cut a hole today to get food into my mouth.

This is why I cancelled my day's holiday to go walking around Dovedale, today.
At least I'll get paid to be soaking wet now 😂

Wide angle lenses never flatter. But if they're worth working for they won't care about your appearance.

Cars are certainly getting bigger, look at BMW's 'mini'!

my interviewer looked good! argh!
stopped for ice cream on my way home last night. an elder couple pulled into the lot. totally cock-eyed parking. angled poorly & into the spot next to them. I think they just didn't care and / or couldn't do any better / or thought it was ok cuz they were are the edge of the late away from most ppl

Two downstairs here, and one upstairs in my bedroom. The only one that gets used is the one in the sitting room as it works the back boiler for the radiators.

cool, sounds like an "antique" home? when was it built?

Decided to make some pancakes tho’ they are what we used to call crumpets. What we called pancakes are called drop scones in furrin parts. I have a smallish galley kitchen which gets warmed up by the cooker so thought I could achieve two things at once for the same heat ie make pancakes and get warmed up.
Very nice they are too. SR flour, fine oatmeal, sugar, salt and a splash of oil with some raisins added after mixing with water.
Had to put on the electric light to see what I was doing. I try to avoid using the light as if the bulb goes I will probably need help to replace it since ladders and myself are not a good mix nowadays.

I see from above that @tyred is to blame.

My planned ride this lunchtime's been abandoned given the impending rain. I'll grab a coffee and cake out by car instead rather than being soaked.

I'm on the couch

old girlfriend's Dad, when we were in our late teens & twenties, used to say the following, when he was done with a day's work, shingling the Cape house: "I'm on the deck" w/ a cocktail in his hand

I should go pour something

Is the sun below the yardarm?

The society for the protection of all black bikes (Chair: Bollo) will be in contact shortly

In my defence, I did go round the bike with a black permanent marker touching up all the Stainless steel fixings / screws / bolt heads.

I can just about remember navigating the road to Tobermory whilst driving a Transit with a trailer attached i wasn't the most popular person

Out of curiosity when was this and unless confidential what were you transporting?

Mid 80's I was towing a car trailer with a rally car on to do the Tour of Mull rally

Our decorator's running late, so we're spending the weekend and part of next week with stuff from the four big rooms squashed into three smaller ones plus the conservatory. As long as the work's decent, which it seems to be, that's OK.

Halfords don't seem to have an email address or phone number on their website and it just directed me to a virtual live chat which couldn't understand my question. I found a number for my local Halfords on their Facebook page but the calls seem to get directed to head office. I got answered and after being put on hold for long enough to read Bleak House and listening to music on hold which sounded like someone learning to play the double bass, I eventually got told my item was in store all along and there are glitches in their notification systems following a software update.
