I watched six eps of HSB yesterday.
It's quite worrying.
Talk about wasting the hours in an offhand way.
Then again, at my age
who gives a tulip?
And I did manage to put the stuff back in the porch and screw the repaired barometer to the wall.
Though the miniature rose and the maidenhair fern are still outside assuming they've not been nicked.
What's even more worrying is the 11 seasons of NYPD Blue that's sitting waiting to be watched.
A dehumidifier cured the problem in my parents' house, which was quite considerable.Originally posted by ladymuck View PostDiscovered evidence on the kitchen door mat of a slug creeping in under the kitchen door so measures will have to be taken to deal with that.
At 01:00 there seemed to be 3 or 4 slugs roaming the kitchen floor.
Drying the place out cured that.Last edited by DoctorStrangelove; 14 July 2020, 09:56.When the fun stops, STOP.Comment

Compost composted
Plants planted
Soil soiled
Snails Slaughtered
Rain Rained
Other than that, plus ca change...
BTW - Work worked
I was an IPSE Consultative Council Member, until the BoD abolished it. I am not an IPSE Member, since they have no longer have any relevance to me, as an IT Contractor. Read my lips...I recommend QDOS for ALL your Insurance requirements (Contact me for a referral code).Comment

I don't have a damp problem. It's something that happens occasionally. A few slug pellets out for a week seems to do the trick.Originally posted by DoctorStrangelove View Post

Lunch: zingy chicken, tomato and lentil soup with the usual bits of bread. Just the thing for the drab, grey day it's turned into now

Quick chat with the caretaker has revealed no-one has complained about the lack of uplighters at the front of the building. Apparently they are often going wrong so not only are a waste of electricity but also incur high maintenance costs. He's going to mention to TPTB that at least two residents (him and me) would be happy to leave them permanently switched off.Comment

Cool, grey, chance of rain.
Lunch was a couple of delicious oranges and a cup of black coffee. I might need a snack later.
In other news: I have been informed that a payroll provider regards my most recent contribution on LinkedIn as "slanderous". I've let them know that I think that they mean "libellous"; that should smooth things over.
