It felt like it when they snapped... But no, just some very stubborn walnuts that I'd foraged.

Tea towel and a rolling pin is what Mrs F uses.

Managed to get the outside Xmas lights down. Had to pull the brand new icicle lights to bits as they were full of rain water. Total crap quality from B&Q. Already had two sets of lights this year that wouldn't work from the box from them.

Just listening to the local radio phone in prog. A bloke's moaning because his travel insurance for a month in Cambodia is £150. I think that's fairly reasonable. No 'free' EU hospitals (yes i know about Brexit,but you know what i mean),it's full of landmines,snakes,contactable diseases etc etc! I thought it would've been about 3 to 5 hundred quid.

It's 1450 here and 31 degrees. The forecast maximum is 36.5, but tomorrow should be a bit cooler, so as heatwaves go, this one is quite bearable. Meanwhile, though, Australia continues burning, and the smoke has travelled all the way to (and covered) New Zealand. There's enough smoke to more than cover the entire UK, and Canberra has air quality worse than Delhi at the moment. I read in the papers today that a woman died in Canberra from the smoky air: apparently she suffered respiratory distress. 
Melbourne air quality is still OK, though. Up north in the states of NSW and Qld, commuter cyclists are being forced to wear face masks for cycling.
I'm back at work on Monday, so only about 2.5 days of leave left. It was enough, though, because I'm definitely ready to go back. I've replaced the wheels on my road bike that I use for commuting, and the bike is now over 1kg lighter, so I'm looking forward to using it. I paid more for the wheels than I usually spend on wheels for this bike, and got lighter tyres than the old pair, and I've saved about 1.25kg on weight because of it.

I mowed some grass today and yesterday, but I'll need to clear some dead leaves from part of my front yard, because the leaves are completely dry and I'm afraid they'll start burning while I'm at work. The sooner I get the leaves into one of my plastic garbage bins and out of the sun's rays, the better. Then I'll need to do some pest control, because the ants love it when I clear the leaves from that area: the bare ground seems to encourage them, for some reason.
