I've decided to eat chips tonight.

Wood or potato?

Wood or potato?

I thought they were a bit chewy...

I read that the BBC is sending 1,000 staff to Glastonbury to cover the festival.
Some might say that's a tad excessive..

Luckily, I don't have a BBC so it doesn't affect me.

Sounds like a jolly to me 😀

Just come back with some news from later today.

Note the posting time.

It's the Grauniad.. It's bound to be wrong 😂

Sounds like a jolly to me 😀

Given how many stages / locations comprise Glastonbury each covered needing equivalent equipment and staff that 1000 figure would be quickly diluted across those stages/locations plus with close to 12 hour schedule on top of which there will be requisite tests of equipment it's probable a number of posts may be a shared post over the entire day.

My working day has been completed

Rain seems to have stopped but what we had did water the garden a bit to encourage the weeds.

Thr Ferry Committee did a survey of business asking about the impact of ferry problems here and at Corran.
Cue much whining from the B&B bunch who actually had to do some work for a change. Many come here, buy a house and expect the money to pour in without any real effort on their part. Many of the replies used the same phraseology which suggests collusion to me.
A fair proportion of others had no complaints.

Got a call from a GP that two months after a biopsy I have a bacterial infection in my stomach. Massive dose of antibiotics prescribed.

Did a very little sorting of the heap of mostly junk in a spare room.
Came on these ex army canteens which were used on many camp fires. Not too good for a stove but good for packing. Also probably not my original enamel mug. Very nostalgic

Oh, a large Spider (probably the same one that I rescued from the bath the other day and has generally been stalking about the house) has decided to build a nest on my living room ceiling. Yes yes, I should have cleaned the place a bit better, but it's right in a corner, so hardly any 'biggie'.

Now, here's the thing, I really don't mind Spiders, but is it ok for them to stay, or should I incur the (small) wrath of an angry Mother Spider and remove/move it?

Wood or potato?

Or silicon?

 

[Reynard]

Had a lovely luncheon of a chicken & avocado sandwich, some cheese & biscuits, an apple, a delicious Lane Late orange and the obligatory two

Watered the triffids, sowed some dill seed and spent the rest of the afternoon cutting the grass weeds.

Now sat back with a listening to a bit of TMS.

back to Mother In Law's tomorrow, gotta clean out her previous apartment & haul some stuff home. fun fun. shouldn't be too bad. I got a sneak peak last week

 

[classic33]

Or silicon?

Would that mean they'd be micro chips?

Spiders don't like dirty places, they'll not build a web just anywhere you know.

Time to feed the cats, and then it will be time to feed me.

I know but I was thinking that there must be a reason for a nest in the living room.

If I leave it for long enough, maybe I'll end up with an army of Spiderlings that I can train to do my evil deeds! 😆
