Mundane News

The days are stretching out a bit now. 4.30 and still light enough to see the bottom of the garden. Not so long back it would have been pitch black by now.

Mizzle and drizzle all day, today. I did manage to sort my tools and bits out in readiness to regrout the tiles and re-silicone around the bath, tomorrow.

Well that's another day gone and still no angle grinder delivery! How can it take more than eight days to get from Leicestershire to Bedford? I could have walked there and fetched it myself in less time. It was despatched on the 5th and due to be delivered (by Hermes) on the 7th. Its probably languishing in some dark forgotten corner of a warehouse somewhere...

For about 3 days now I've looked in vain for Mundane News on the New Posts page. How can there be so many posts without it sitting high in the New Posts page?

I've just spent the last hour having a nice, girly pamper session.

This little Reynard is feeling very much refreshed.

Lotions & potions?

Lotions & potions?

Yup

Or at least those few that don't have me scratching like a baboon afterwards... (Sensitive skin is a PITA)

Now for a nice

Not really mundane but where else to put this?
I posted some time ago about a cyclist gone missing in 2017 on the A82.
It is now reported that police have found human remains buried near Bridge of Orchy. So far no positive identification but suspicions are high that they will be the missing cyclist.
He was last positively identified outside Bridge of Orchy hotel late at night intending to cycle home to Tillicoultry overnight and has never been seen since.

Went to a short oval motor racing show last February, and they had RC petrol-powered Superstox - racing them is a thing, apparently. I actually think it's cool, but I'm *hopeless* controlling RC cars.

yeah I wonder how I would be with controls in my hand. that old car that I had, didn't have hand held controls - one just set the front wheels & watched it run circles over whatever terrain you put it on. it was pretty fun because it was fairly unpredictable

nutz, isn't it? pretty soon, a ride after work, won't require the new light I recently bought!

Every time I hear the traffic news on the radio I am so pleased I no longer drive to work.

...tailbacks here...broken down vehicle blocking junction there....road closed due to accident over yonder...

It's great no longer having to worry about such things

I have just put in an order at that place that sounds like a river in South America for four rolls of cling film, three foolscap lever arch files and some glue.

The Tesco cling film is beyond awful, and the cardboard roll doesn't fit in my dispenser. Now is not the time to footle around town looking for something that does, so bought the one that I know fits.

I need to empty the washing machine.

The local book shop is closed. I thought that would mean ordering a book from The River. In a phone call he said that I could email the details to him and he can order it from his wholesaler, who will then send it direct to me, and I pay after it has arrived. Very Quaint!

The last two nights I have been watching "The Pembrokeshire Murders". It is very strange indeed. The Lead Detective is still on speaking terms with his ex-wife and he regularly sees his two teenage children. Then one of his female team members shrugged off being called "Bimbo" and took it in her stride in the context.

Anyone else watching it? It is not one of these ramped up/sensationalist series of programmes. Last one tonight.

I've not seen it but am looking for a new series to watch....I'll give it a go, thanks Wol
