      What's the best for heat and longevity?

      In my experience though, you just get hardwood! As long as it's kiln dried you'll be grand.

        In mid-2010 my GP surgery got in touch wanting to know if I still needed to be on the books, as I hadn't been there in over twenty-five years. How things change

          Started my first batch last night at about 20:45.

          After coming home following a joyous half an hour shopping at Tesco.

          The 2nd load has just finished & the 3rd load is filling even as I type.

          Oh the life of the single lizard is one of endless joy.

            As has become my habit, I trolled off down to Swansea for the afternoon.

            Might as well since the season ticket means the journey is effectively free.

            Today's epic mode of transport was a Class 142 "Pacer", which is actually a Leyland bus on rails.

            Since it has no bogies, going around corners doesn't half make the beggar squeal.
            It would appear that Leyland were as clueless at making trains as they were at making cars.

                I remember travelling on those occasionally during my sojourn in Cheltenham. Pretty sure it was one of those that took me on the Newport to Cwmbran leg of my journey to see the company that ran a bunch of machines that scraped Prestel constantly to produce a database of late-availability holiday deals

                  Shopping and parcel collecting has been accomplished, and the dinner is on - roast beef tonight

                  I really don't feel quite normal. My cough hasn't got noticeably worse, but I feel rather light-headed and disconnected from things. I suspect I'm running a temperature, though I haven't got a thermometer so I can't be sure.

                  Appetite seems to be OK though

                  Hope it's just a cold, and not my ribs erupting into some foul, pustulent mass deep within where I can't see them

                    Really fancy going to the pub tonight though. Maybe the walk will do me good
