Mundane News

Are you sure you weren't just making it up to get attention?

Who would do something so ridiculous?

We are living in a kids free zone for the first time in 42 years and 6 months. Yippee, the start of a great new life for the pair of us.

What dog will you get when you retire? An English bulldog?

Border Terrier and possibly a Whippet. I am in negotiations with Henry and Sasha.

My niece has got a border terrier. He is lovely.

He is the colour, and nearly the size, of a small brown bear. He is so well behaved and I have sometimes had the pleasure of taking him allowed him the pleasure of taking me for a walk. I know that he needs a lot of exercise.

Not mundane at all but my knees have just given way looking at this and I'm lying down.

Yebbut, it's a really small room and you'd have to share with me several times a year ( and I snore!!)

I bought better mittens this afternoon. It skyrocketed up into the teens (Fahrenheit) this afternoon, so a warming trend is under way, just in time for a furnace call. Furnace problems were a good impetus to get my gas fireplace going, though.

I'm falling to bits. Had sore outer arches in my feet since New Year but my left foot got very bad on Friday and swollen. I've narrowed it down to a pair of shoes I don't wear often and possibly having the laces too tight putting pressure on the top of my foot. I've done it once before with some walking shoes.

Doh...

 

[Gravity Aided]

What a drag foot problems can be. I get a similar situation, and I drive a small bus all day. I switched to high top sport shoes (Nike Air) and that seems to have solved many problems for me.

just checked the weather.... according to the Beeb its mist, then fog, then mist, then fog and so on ...which prompts the mundane question, when does mist become fog and vice versa?

Depends on the definition but I guess 1 meter T the deciding point!

Looking up the definition gave me two different values for the boundary between the two ... aviation 1000 m and the general public 180 m

Morning. I have just been downstairs to make our hot drinks. First thing, open door and say hello to GWEN, next fill kettle. With Gwen telling me how hungry she is I go and get a new packet of food for her a bit blurry eyed. I decided to open a new box as I could see that they both liked what I gave them yesterday, they had eaten the gravy/jelly but left the chunks of recycled meat. I opened the new packet. Oh dear! It was full of chunks, never mind, I put the bowl down, she took one sniff and walked away. You should have seen the Paddington stare she gave me. I'D RATHER GO HUNGRY!
I hope that you will appreciate the arms lengths that I am going to writing this with Gwen sat between me and the computer.

Doh! I've just been looking for the 7 day quiz but I'm still thinking it's December.

Well apparently the normal guy can come around on Wednesday.... I think it turns cold on Thursday I think! Mr Summerdays thinks it is possibly the pump ... it's not flowing correctly and the boiler overheats and cuts out is his diagnosis... mine is it's making some horrible noises!

Sounds possibly like what Mr Summerdays thinks. The water is becoming so hot that gas bubbles are forming and making banging noises.
