Not to mention the viagra and crack cocaine they peppers you up with!

The knowledge body has increased exponentially over that time.

Thats been an issue for me. Im doing environmental science and got a bit cocky in year one because a lot of it overlaps planetary studies so I thought I'd have a head start. Wrong! Our understanding of stuff like plate tectonics, global warming, etc, have moved on considerably over the recent decades and im havingnto essentially unlearn stuff and start again.

TVH viagra never did the job for me.
I went to the Doc and he injected my bits and that worked.
I asked him what was in the injection...... he said 2 of sand and 1 of cement.

Good morning. These early mornings are wonderful. Sunshine and pleasantly cool. Very Mediterranean...............and now it's cranking up to be blisteringly hot. We have a small one with us today. It's Tuesday. It's #3 day.

@welshdragon - congratulations to your granddaughter and the proud grandmother. Whatever direction life takes her and education to this level will never be wasted.

I've poured water on my tomatoes, I have one butt of water left. I've been carrying 15 litre buckets up from the village well but that is now reduced to a trickle. In fairness I can only take about 30 litres in late evening, this allows the trough to refill overnight for the neighbours. The tomatoes had five litres each yesterday, that's 25 litres plus another 4 on the cucumber. Phew! That's about it. I need to address something elsewhere.

My water butts are getting low. Of the four only one has water, about half full. Im looking to expand my butt capacity over winter.

Morning.
Another scorcher on the cards, the lawn looking very parched. It needs a cut but I think I'm better off leaving it to protect it.
Might get a haircut this morning, too hot to have any excess!

Morning all

Doggie walking first thing, then a stint in my workshop (which is the coolest room at our place), before lunching out.

Housework O'clock.

I still couldn't see myself sitting down to braised beef and veg in this heat, as I said throwing some meat onto the gas barbie is more than enough and it's only in the high teens here never mind over 30°C.

Whatever. Each to his or her own

I don;t think I have ever been that desperate to go for injections!!!!

I wish it to me noted that I didn;t use that comment to make a joke about my wife in any way whatsoever

Nothing on today

did get a weird emial from the NHS yesterday
it was going on about a case and a request being rejected
and the GP not doing something so it can;t be processed
and Patches - which no-one now uses

no idea what it is on about I think I will print it off and just take it to the GPs and ask them if they can work it out

which is in the general direction of the airport - so I might go for a ride up that way
Speke Hall cafe sounds like a possibility!
