Apparently it's a bit soggy in the UK
.
So, after a five course breakfast I went for a sea swim out so I'm wet as well. It's going to be 35-38c here in Igalo today

I can see why General Tito liked this place - we're off to visit his villa just down the road tomorrow evening.

I find that putting things into alphabetical order creates its own problems. Stars like Elton John, Elvis Presley and Olivia Newton John. Do they come under E and O or J, P, J or N?

First word. It’s the only way to stay sane and find them again later

Are you on an export tarif?

I was surprised how much I could have exported, about 50kwh each week, approx. I guess I would get about 3p per kwh.

We’re on the early FIT scheme. Currently (sorry) about 60p per unit generated plus about 5p on deemed export of 50%

CDs by solo artists are filed alphabetically firstly by the artist's surname and then by date of release if they have done multiple records. Groups are also filed alphabetically, but ignoring 'The' where included (The Kills, The Clash, etc) but this does cause problems with "The The".

Do you take Newton or John to be the surname? Asking for Olivia.

So I might get 5p per unit exported, on about 80 units per week.

Again at least being away it’s a nice view sat in the van. Twice we’ve made it to the bus stop only for to get biblical. So now sitting it out and drying off. May make it out later for fish and chips or to the village pub for a meal.

Second cuppa went down well enough

First cuppa was ok but it could have been better.
I have missed my early morning ride today let's hope I get one tomorrow.

It's been many many years since I last enjoyed an early morning ride...

Does anyone have a waterproof cake recipe for Richard Harris to save him from all the grief he had to go through ?

I think it was more like Jimmy Webb's grief.

I at work, currently waiting for a night driver to arrive with my load for me to carry on with it to Sittingbourne.
Meanwhile, it'd be rude for me to not have BBQ Beef, Cauliflower & roasties, plus a drink, for £1.70, wouldn't it 😁

Last apple eaten. Um... need some more. so decided to walk to Aldi.

The rain clouds prediction had a clear hour or so bar one just to the west; it got that wrong thankfully just as I was nearing a bus stop shelter.

As seems to be largely the way today it was a brief torrential downpour, the rain drops bouncing back up off hard surfaces. The rain stopped just in time for me not to confuse a bus driver.

Further on a spell of very light rain only came to my attention due to the impression it was having on puddles.

Then the sun came out and I regretted not having my sunglasses with me.
