Take things very easy @DCLane - 9 days is still quite early in the covid recovery arc. Best wishes to you and your family.

I'm nearly up. It's bed stripping day, today. I need a pee.

These need to be done in a particular order..

Think you're a week too late, for the best chance of seeing them.

Typical!
They always put on these shows at the most inconvenient times ! Either the weather is cloudy or late at night when everyone is fast asleep!

Morning.
I wish Mike from the Beeb would hide his light under his Bushell.

A large brown spider with faintly translucent legs just walked over my keyboard but he disappeared, stage left.

He was trying to get on the web

Mmmmm, but Rollers are heavy old things. Anything that hits that will likely come off second best.

Does remind me that a friend was a garage manager. The garage was owned by a family who made a lot of money selling milk as well as all dairy produce and also had a business with hens producing lots of eggs.
The Patriach of the family decided he wanted a Roller so my friend was deputed to take him to a suitable dealer. Looking at a possible car he produced a tape measure and carefully measured the back seats area. The sales man was bit bemused and was even more dumfounded when it was explained to him that the back had to be suitable for carrying cartons of eggs.
Even worse payment was in cash.

Does the young guy up the street not realise that putting a huge straight-through exhaust on a three cylinder Corsa does not make it sound cool or sporty? It just sounds like a demented wasp trapped in a food blender.

Or a mobile chainsaw?

That looks a tad agricultural.

I remember those from when I lived in Helensburgh.

My mate made a killing in the building trade in the early 70's.So he sort of semi retired.Bought a second hand Rolls Royce and got passionate about golf of all things.So one day he is letting me sit in it.In the footwell were some small wooden peg like things,what are these i asked,oh they are golf tees,you rest your balls on them when you drive off.Hell i said Rolls Royce think of everything.

Another wet day in prospect with moderate winds followed by several wet days but variable winds.
At least Ernie has given me £50 this month which is down on last month but better than nothing.
Meanwhile I need to try again to sort out my immerser setting as the consumption is higher than in the past which negates the savings on standard rate. My usage pattern has not changed so I suspect a faulty thermostat.
