    in case anyone's interested.

    anybody ever worked in Finland?

      Just took the recycling down and the bin's not even half full with that thrown in. I don't think I'll need to do any trundling tonight, unless the residents of the other flats are planning a last minute rush

        No, but I've heard they drink a lot. As in a lot. Really, a HELL OF A LOT

        Here's a book about it from the 1960s: Direction North, by John Sykes (1967) - The Neglected Books Page

            Probably hasn't changed much; it's very cold there, which slows everything down

            Rain has arrived

                And so it proved to be.

                The remaining two eps of "Jeremiah" shall wait until tomorrow.

                Nope but I remember the Finnish Esteemed Customer who was regularly found in the gutter down Wind Street of an evening.

                As NF mentioned the Finns appear fond of the booze (basing this on a sample size of one of course as is only right & proper).

                He also used to shoot cats, being a Finn who liked hunting and thusly distressed by the local lack of elk and moose.

                His proposed final year design project was originally some sort of sexual device for pleasuring ?ladies? but they wouldn't let him do that so he ended up designing an ultraviolet water purification jug thing.

                  Tonight's viewing whilst dining was the end of the BBC thing about the Met, followed by the start of the BBC thing about the murders of Lynda Mann and Dawn Ashworth in 1983 and 1986, about three or four miles up the road from here, which led to the development of DNA profiling over at the University and, ultimately, the arrest and conviction of Colin Pitchfork. That's still a huge thing here; there's outbursts of absolute fury in the local paper every time he comes up for a parole hearing, just at the thought that he might be released on license.

                  And then a couple more episodes of Breaking Bad: S4E6 "Breaking Bad" Cornered (TV Episode 2011) - IMDb, and S4E7 "Breaking Bad" Problem Dog (TV Episode 2011) - IMDb.

                  Early(ish) start tomorrow as there's stuff to do, but it may well be raining all day, in which case plans might change

                  Goodnight all

                      ^^There's an echo in here an echo in here an echo in here.

                      Morning all if all there be

                      Dark.

                      Dank.

                      Horizontal drizzle.

                      Windy.

                      Grey.

                      Sunless.

                      Friday.

                      Off to Swansea to see some mates at lunch time so the order of washing stuff has altered.

                      The shirts started at 07:20 (delayed start on the WM from last night) which has reminded me I need to change the anti water hammer device, which hasn't lasted all that long.

                      Next in are the cottons, the rest of it will have to wait until this afternoon assuming I return safely from the oncoming deluge.

                      <hiatus>

                      In with the hoi polloi.

                      By the time I get home through the gale & horizontal drizzle, the shirts should be done in the TD and the coloureds should be done in the WM.

                      The endless innerest of my life knows few bounds.

                      Then it's off to the metropolis () of Swansea on the bus.

                      <taps screen: is this thing on?>
