    Nice bonfire. There's a sleeping rodent of some description in the greenhouse, quite large but not yer normal Rat sort of rodent. It stayed sleeping during all my exertions getting the gardening waste out & onto the bonfire.

    Wheeler Dealers S6 E15&16: TVR S. MOT ran out 2021. It did very few miles. Then again, being a TVR maybe it was fecked most of the time.

    Dan Do from 2019: 3 "cottages". Bet they cost a bob or two.

    Discovering Ralph Fiennes. <click> Watching paint dry more interesting.

    Dr Pimplepopper. Woman with lump on her temple: seb keratosis (a big one). Chap with lump on his face: cyst. Chap with lump on his thigh: unknown cause, she stitched it back up & sent him to see another doctor, it didn't look like anything a dermatologist could deal with.

      Morning all. Blue skies and a bright moon when we went out for our walk, then the heavens opened.
      Came back in soaked to the skin, so I put on my schlompers. Still wearing them and realised when I stood up while on video on a conference call that everyone got a view of my purple checked "lounge pants".
      …Maybe we ain’t that young anymore

        Morning all

        Cloudy, intermittent sunshine. Much rain had overnight. Currently 13 degrees and that's the high for the day. More showers expected this morning and then the sun might make more of a concerted effort. Barometer down to 994 mBar.

        Ooh I do like Malta! Have fun! I hope the weather's better. It can be a bit variable there this time of year.

          'Morning all... bit wet in the northern provinces. Grey with gloomy outlook.

          Busy as a busy thing, but can't complain. Good bunch at new gig and fingers crossed that it'll last a while given the current market.

          Might pop back again sometime.

          Laters...
