Ours rusted through, and was felled as a Brucie bonus by tree surgeon. (I say tree surgeon - he was a gentleman from the travelling community who I paid to complete the job as I had to go out, only he didn't and I had a back garden full of branches to get rid of, but I digress) - it is now about a foot lower than most washing lines, which is fine for drying pants, but not so good for king-sized sheets.

Tonight's movie, to mark the death of Tom Wolfe earlier, was The Right Stuff (1983), which I've seen before, but some time back in the 1980s so I didn't remember much of it.
I presume there is no film of The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test because it is a story for which the world is, still, not yet prepared… oh, wait: "in development" according to IMDb: The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test
Goodnight all

Last night's televisual entertainment, such as it was
, consisted of the first half of Foxy Coxy's thing about 21st century space travel, which proved so tedious & so focused on the bearded twat Branson that I channel surfed and found the thing about the 125 on 5.
Which was slightly more interesting, but not by much.When the fun stops, STOP.Comment

Morning denizens
Grey day here, though the forecast of rain appears to have been rescinded
A few patches of green and yellow nearby on the weather radar, mind, so it can't be ruled out…
