    Afternoon all.



    Discovered the ZeitFiat had a flat tyre this morning.

    Thought it felt a bit funny.

    It had 5psi in it.

    I'd been doing 60 mph with it like that.

    Amazed it didn't come off the rim.

    Fecking nail.

    My £5 'lektrik tyre inflater worked, though the gauge reads 100% high.

    It didn't really have 80psi in it after all.

      Since the weather is so absoluckingfutely clement, I think I'll put some of that moss killer lawn feed stuff on the lawns this afternoon.

      It should get watered in ok.

        That's even worse than the tyre on the Toyota the other week - I think that was around 12psi when I realised it had a screw in it

          The butcher in Sainsbury's was flogging off rump steak half price yesterday.

          Steak sandwich for lunch

            I'll have to get it fixed next week, along with whatever bodge the garage did to get it through the MOT.

            I've been going to that garage for 40 years, I'm not too sure I'll go there again though.

              Sausage & mash & onion gravy.

              It was ok.

              Ish.

                Have I mentioned that the slugs have consumed my runner bean seedlings.

                I got my own back with slug pellets.

                  That'll teach 'em.

                    Raining out.

                    That's it's prerogative, I suppose.

                    Now it's started, I've remembered that I need to empty the kitchen bin; so I get a nice wander down the back yard, in the rain, carrying a sack of rubbish. Aristotle Onassis never had to do this kind of thing

                      Lovely gales here.

                      It's not raining at the moment though which makes a change.

                      Attempted to use the dispenser to put the moss killer on the lawn.

                      It jammed up & broke.

                      Ho hum.

                      So I scattered it by hand instead.

                      Should be lovely & patchy now. g

                      Couldn't buy any runner bean seeds in Wilkinsons & couldn't be arsed to look anywhere else so I bought some broad bean seeds instead & planted some of those in yogurt pots.

                      The greenhouse (the falling down one) was rattling away quite interestingly whilst I was doing this.

                      Then I pulled up a small forest of weeds out of the small greenhouse.

                      And my orange mobile signal is giving zero bars at the moment.

                      I thought the phone was fecked but all 3 are the same.

                      I can get a signal if I stand on the wall at the bottom of the garden.

                      Which is interesting in a gale.
