Coooeee. Highest temp here today is supposed to be 22 deg. That's better than 27

Not much to report. Houseworky stuff to do and pottering I think.

Stay safe peeps

Good morning folks,
A forecast 26 degrees here in sunny Dorset. At the moment it’s cool ( I’ve been wandering around the garden in my jim jam bottoms)
A fortunate Wordle in 2 this morning 😀
Have a peaceful day folks 😎☀️☕️

Morning

The talk of shower washing reminded me of a time when I had a management meeting in a town whose feed lots and meat packing operations made it smell very bad. It was very hot when the meeting was done and being summer would stay light until late so Ihit the backroads on my 'Dale for a little riding. Riding on the narrow shoulder, I was passed by a tanker truck whose load was liquid pig manure and who had an open hatch. Much to my chagrin the truck hit a pothole and the resulting bump caused gallons of fluid pig feces to slop out of the tank onto me and my bike. I was really thirsty from the heat and the ride but the valve on my waterbottle was covered with the disgusting crap and was therefore undrinkable. Getting back to motel, the bike and I had a very nice wash. The experience taught me that it is true...S!#@t does happen.
Thanks for the Bruce song...I enjoyed it.

Morning all

Estate agent coming round at 11am to value Dirk Towers.
They seemed optimistic of a good price when I dropped into their office last week - got everything going for it - bungalow in popular village with all amenities a level walk away, handy for bus stop and schools, local shop 2 minutes away, a mile from the beach, well maintained & nice gardens etc.
Hopefully someone will snap it up for around 400k.
Not in any hurry to sell, so we can sit out a bidding war if necessary.

What about your butt?

 

[classic33]

Well it ain't gonna rain tomorrow

edit: just checked the forecast. 50% chance of rain. What's that about? Heatwave? My arse!

That's why we need a decent thunderstorm. Get that, and it'll either clear(and you get your heatwave) or it'll rain.
At present it's still unsettled, looking more than a week ahead.

What about your butt?

Don't be so personal.
