Another day of spending lots of time doing very little. Woke up a bit late, got up, put a load of washing on and went back to bed with the laptop & a mug of coffee. Eventually got dressed, put the washing on the line to dry and then went for a bike ride. Got home, brought the now dry washing in, had a shower and put another load of washing on after the shower. Tea (sausage, egg & beans), washing onto the clothes horse and then a bit of a sit down catching up on here.

Very shortly I will be heading up to Ipswich to see Field Music at The Baths*

*Formally the site of St. Matthews baths (where I learned how to swim) which were knocked down years ago and the site became home to offices, a Tesco and a gym. The gym closed down a couple of years ago and has just been converted into a music venue.

Currently watching Ireland Wales in the 6 nations, the start of the Six Nations is always a good sign that spring isn't far away.

I’ll bet Wales hadn’t bothered .

It's going to gepischen it down tomorrow apparently, and blow some serious hoolies.

If it does, I'll be holding you responsible!!

At least the right team won!

I didn't know hairdressing was a competitive sport.

If it does, I'll be holding you responsible!!

It's not me, it's @cookiemonster and her eldritch goat sacrifices.

I'll still be blaming you. You can blame who you want.

At least the right team won!

The one on the right ?
It seemed very scrappy to me . Mind you I haven't watched any games for quite a while .

Hmmm, I didn't watch the blokes playing with funny-shaped balls. I went yellow stickering instead.

I am now one shoulder of lamb, a kilo of steak mince, two pork chops and a rotisserie chicken to the good, along with spinach, mange tout, apples, rhubarb, two large boxes of breakfast cereal, two loaves of bread and a box of croissants.

Now relaxing with a and watching MOTD

I appear to be in Norwich and having a first coffee of the day. I really hadn't quite grasped how much and how quickly the weather was going to deteriorate.

Norwich - A fine city. My granny was born there.

Except that the blocks seem too small & there isn't sufficient slope compared with pictures I've seen of the pyramids.


Again, blocks are larger.

I'm intrigued by the shape above his head:

View attachment 629719

The blocks are larger because they are standing right next to them. He is further away. It's just the perspective.

In this picture you can see what that shape is. I think an early treasure hunter archaeologist blew a hole with dynamite. This pic was taken after they discovered the boat pits and built a museum above them. They are of course missing from his photo.

I see that there is a mission to find Shackleton's ship Endurance .
If it's a rescue mission I think they may have left it a bit late !

I think they already found one of his ships (there were two). I watched this a couple of weeks ago. It's very good (IMO)

Time for a and a snackette and settle down to watch some curling.
