After days of dreich grey, the sky has turned blue. :ohmy: I wonder what it means :wacko:
 
Warm and incredibly blustery here chez Casa Reynard. It was lovely and sunny earlier, but now the rain has put in an appearance.

I slept really well, but been dealing with glue-induced allergies this morning. Half an antihistamine tablet seems to have taken the edge off the dribbly nose and the sneezies. Among the things I've done this morning is raise the two stacks of trays containing walnuts up off the floor using bricks wrapped in newspaper. It gets the airflow going underneath and stops the carpet from getting damp.

Just seen a loco pulling a long line of empty flat wagon things go past my window. Someone's not striking, it seems.

It is almost time for luncheon.

nice, until the middle of 1st grade we lived 1 block away from a elevated train in the North Bronx. the sounds are romantic to me. the screeching of steel on steel & the sparks, the thumpity thump of wheel after wheel rolling across the seams. loved it all. we called it "the L". it was all electric, by my time, but it started with steam locomotives

kinda like contributing to web forums & the almost constant onslaught of objections & small arguments, trolls be dammed

I have a question for people knowledgeable about Science and/or Bihology.

I usually buy Persil "Colour Protect" washing pods. However, last time I ordered some on line, I asked for "Bio" by mistake. What exactly does Bio and Non Bio mean?

I think it's the enzymes but I could be wrong. We use non-bio as it's better on my skin due to being a bit excema prone.

So is Colour Protect "non bio"?

'nother question. Peeps on this forum have been writing about a "Ninja Foodie" oven.

Out of curiosity I looked the prices up. A medium size one is £200, and is reckoned to save 50% on your Eccentricity Bills. So when you have used it for about 160 hours, you will start to save money.

That is 90 minutes each week (over two years) saving circa 45p each week. Is it even cheaper to have a cold meal once a week to save that? Btw, I used my mental arithmetic to work that out. Have I got it wrong?
