We've got showers and blue skies here.
I've finished work for the day. I am sat chilling out with a cup of cookie dough coffee.

Sounds good R/C , l'm just dying to know what "cookie dough coffee" is . I live in France and it hasn't appeared here yet

I think I will go for a ride, wind propelled

What have you been eating ??

Probably all he could fit between the garage and the house.

Also, I don't know if you need a licence for a bigger one.

Looks like he could be about to build another apartment block

Not my wind this time but the windy weather

Been awake all night with my head full of things.

FML, but at least I haven't self harmed myself with the kitchen knife... Yet.

I dreamed I lived in a house without a kitchen, instead there was a sofa and lots of hungry dachshunds.

A few weeks ago the owner of my apartment said he'd soon be doing 'a bit of garden work'. Today this was the view when I got back from work:

Germans really don't do things half way...

Reminds me of that . "Some fell on stoney soil!"

Morning .
My favourite song was on the radio when I woke up this morning.
Yes!
Mac Arthur Park!
I was wondering if the cake might have been a sponge ?
Well! At least they couldn't say it tasted dry!

The next song was by Peter Sarstead.
"Where do you go to my Lovely?"
"You go to all these high places,
With diamonds and pearls in your hair . "

Must be a change from dandruff!

Morning.
The Sun came out a minute ago . Ooh! It's back out again ! There are rain clouds blowing through pretty quickly at the moment . There are puddles around but it isn't raining at the moment . I don't think it is cycling weather.

It'd be a shame to never have that recipe again, wouldn't it!

You live in a fancy apartment
Of the Boulevard of St. Michel
Where you keep your Rolling Stones records
And a friend of Sacha Distel, yes you do
You go to the embassy parties
Where you talk in Russian and Greek.

A favourite song of mine.

I think it's probably got much more in common with snooker, where the pressure, temperature and humidity can affect the way the balls run on the cloth. That's why tournament snooker tables are generally heated these days, as it helps mitigate this. There's actually a story about Alex Higgins wanting a set of balls warmed up in a hot pie display cabinet as they weren't rolling to his satisfaction.

It'd be a bit of a hike up from Ely in Cambridgeshire, I'm afraid.

It really affects whether stones curl more or stay stay straight more, amongst other things, like the 'speed' of the ice.

Anyway, I believe there is a rink in Cambridge (something to do with the Uni??) that does it, although to be fair, the season is ending soon anyway, unfortunately:

The fees are a little high due to the energy crisis, sadly - We (our council run leisure centre rink in Greenock) are £14 a game and that is considered quite good going.

It's raining. Very heavily.
