It held off long enough to do a bit of tidying up in the garden and once it started I lit a bonfire to get shot of the accumulated vanities.
And duck & chicken bones that have been gently rotting away for a while.

'ere. You train users. Question for you. Booked in to quiet carriage down to London. Someone sat in my seat wouldn't move because there were plenty others so I sat elsewhere. By Milton Keynes the carriage was full so had to move to the next one. No biggie really.
What's the etiquette here though? Make a scene and call the train manager or just sit elsewhere hoping there is a special place in hell for these types of people?'CUK forum personality of 2011 - Winner - Yes really!!!!Comment

Rounded off with 1.05 pints of Good Glengettie tea.
The rain has proved intermittent, but when it gets going it does its best.
The fire is still smouldering away down the garden.
This is, of course, another feature of my scorched earth policy.<-bonfire
Whilst bonfiring I washed the religious jumpers and my worn out cords and have now selected a New Religious Jumper that is considerably less religious that the recently discarded one.
I think, however, that I may sew up some of the religiosities to make it last longer*.
* Let's face it, I look like a tramp. I suspect many tramps would have turned their noses up at the last religious jumper which consisted of more hole than jumper in some respects.Last edited by DoctorStrangelove; 17 October 2019, 16:52.When the fun stops, STOP.Comment
