    Not been for a walk yet, and might not, as I'm going to get the car started, take it for a charging run down the M69 and back, and pop into Sainsbury's while I'm that way for any bits that I remember needing. I did start putting together an online order but I don't think I actually need enough to avoid the full delivery charge. Mind you, whenever I say that, I end up spending twice as much as necessary upon visiting the shop in person
    Car recharged and shopping done

    I only spent half as much again as would have been needed for cheapskate delivery

    It was still worth it though, as I remembered a variety of things I often forget when ordering online (such as dark chocolate digestives), and I was able to get a loaf of wholemeal bread which, inexplicably, they still don't offer online. And the latest Viz; they now offer that on the website, but with no information about which issue it is, which makes things confusing given Viz's weird publishing schedule

      Tonight's Trucking Hell accompaniment has been one of those really nice Sainsbury's steak and caramelised onion burgers in a sesame seed bun with sweet chilli sauce; and fries. Very nice

      Still not feeling wholly well, but better than the past few days. I think I'll get another early night, in hopes of being back on form for the weekend

        Ran a hoover about the place.

        Haven't yet made the bed.

        Headache has gotten worse rather than better so I ought to make that bed so I can attempt to sleep it off.

            What noise does a crow make when you connect from phase to phase of a 11kV line?

            VVVVVVVOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!

              Hurrah! Thought I'd lost my favourite little camera while walking. Just spotted it in the cupboard! Senile. Now, where did I leave my head?

                Guess how I know that.

                <- wot the jackdaw was doing at the bottom of the pole.

                And it took out the voltage transformer on the pole & melted a wire off it.

                Right at the time Lantern were about to retrieve the stuck tractors.

                  Despite multiple trips downstairs with recycling, trundling, and shopping, the green ring stubbornly refused to become even half-closed. So I just went for a brisk, if shorter than usual, walk. Result: all rings closed

                  It's quite pleasant out there, still 17°C with a light breeze; but it's clouding over and a bit humid. Wouldn't be surprised if the rain forecast for tomorrow morning and afternoon turns up a little early

                      Not as early as it could have been, but still, I should get a decent eight hours' kip in

                      Goodnight all
