Beautiful Wife buzzed my hair today.

In other news two local cats have just met and by the sounds coming from the street, they aren't happy about it.

I think I’ll catch up on last night’s episode of Shetland.

It’s a cracker Won’t say anymore

Wasn't that the one with Robbie Coltrane?

It certainly was!

Lovely super tonight - a salad of tomato, mozzarella, basil and avocado, drizzled with olive oil and balsamic, plus some bread & butter and a nice

The basil was from the planter in the garden, and the tomato was one of my "supersteak" ones. That one tomato weighed 340g and served two people. Really tasty it was, too...

I think I’ll catch up on last night’s episode of Shetland.

Now, there's an idea. I've not seen any of this series so far but I gather from a random twitter that Tosh is in some kind of danger. (This won't need a spoiler because you're way ahead of me on this one.)

Unless he already has a no claims discount already that probably would not work and in any case it is a dodge well known to insurance companies. If you are the main driver it could cause problems as you may well be only covered for third party.
I am not an insurance expert but have bitter experience.

Thank you, that’s useful to know. I think it’s my current provider taking the p, as a quick search seems to indicate that I can pay quite a lot less elsewhere for the same cover, with me named as the main driver. I need to sit down with the mister and sort it out. We’ve both got years of no claims.

One load of holiday washing left to do.

My friend gave me his watch to fit a new battery in . I had some old batteries and fitted one in last night it was working fine until this morning . I checked the voltage and discovered that it was 1.3 volts . I decided to buy some new batteries this afternoon . I fitted a new battery and the watch started working again . It stopped half an hour later. I fitted another , it worked a few minutes and stopped !
I thought his watch had had it and had given up . I just opened the case and checked the voltage of the new battery 0.6 volts ! I tried another new battery 1.45 volts . The watch is now working .

Less?

What is this "less" you speak of?

Do you mean you moved it into the house just in case it got cold?

Woke up to thunderstorms at 6am which prevented a planned ride. So spent a couple of hours on the turbo watching Better Call Saul instead.

A fine show, highly recommended.

Managed to bang out a fair bit of writing today, although I'm unhappy at how two parts of the current chapter are currently meshing together. I think I shall call it quits for now and let my mind work this through. Doesn't help that it's a tricky section - a flashback to a different part of the timeline where the lead character is in her late teens, as opposed to the main story where she is in her early forties.

I think I could use a and some hot buttered toast.

Oh, and part of the dialogue in that chapter is inspired by something Emperor Turhan says to Captain Sheridan in the Babylon 5 episode "The Coming of Shadows"

Anyways, time to do an Upsy Daisy.

Nunnight one and all xxx
