    Gosh, wot a busy afternoon.

    Freecell: 87%.

    Refilled the bird feeders.

    Fitted two smoke alarms.

    Finally got around to making home made fat balls for the birdies using mealworms and some fat that was hanging about.

    Discovered that mutton fat melts at a lower temperature*** than lard.

    Well there's a thing.

    And both of them stink.

    Annie! What's stinking in that oven?
    Whenever Strangelove Grandmother was rendering down something or other in the oven*.

    *A coal fired oven of course, none of that electrick** nonsense.

    **Especially not a gas oven:

    Tea: M&S chunky battered haddock, half a tin of fruit cocktail (The Man from Del Monte said yes apparently), the last of the eccles cakes from Sunday, 1.05 pints of good Glengettie tea.

    R4 is repeating the "hexagonal phase" of H2G2 which I ignore.

        Freecell seems to make it do that too.

            Picked a lady friend up at Gatwick North and took wrong turn, heading up M23 and back, added an extra 15m to a 12m Journey. Bah! It's the continual works going on with confusing temporary signs.

            PS At least it might make her get a bleeding taxi next time!

              i find sitting in one of my locals has a very similar effect

              is this a worrying trend?

                  I may have to sack HWMBO.

                  He put 10 socks in the WM. Only 8 of which can be paired up. The rest are still in the basket.

                  Who the hell does that??

                    I probably would.
