Ham toasties for lunch

[DoctorStrangelove]

Morrisons steak pie (reduced) plus Heinz Baked Beans(tm) for lunch.

Living the dream.

Caught the back of my hand on the latch on the microwave with the result that I was dripping blood over the counter whilst eating said lunch.

It's a tiny puncture but it bled very impressively.

I shall now die of septicaemia in a couple of days, so it's been nice knowing you all.

The parcel from CPC turned up this morning.

When I was out, as is only right and proper.

All three items were posted back through our front door yesterday

Just had a thought and checked these (which I still haven't got around to taking back to the pillar box) with a UV torch. Sure enough, they have that pattern of orange-ish dots that's printed on the envelope by the automatic sorting machines, so they probably never even got looked at by a human - just routed straight back here.

And the dots fluoresce, only slightly dimmed, through the labels I put on saying where they should be sent

I shall have to find that UV ink marker pen I got from the Neighbourhood Watch for marking property, and see if that can corrupt the dots enough to force the automatic sorting machines to reject them…

Ah, black Sharpie™ does the trick. Bit less scientific, but never mind

Knackered now.

Two builders' buckets full of rotten pears taken to the compost heap.

At least a dozen buckets full of windfall apples taken to the compost heap.

It's not so much the carrying, more the kneeling down & then nearly passing out when standing up again.


In other news, apparently UV is a cure for impetigo.

In my schooldays, I did a term or two with the double bass. It took over our downstairs toilet.

My then music teacher told me to put it between my legs and pretend it was my boyfriend. These days I expect he'd be on a register.

I'll stick with my purple plastic trombone.
