It just rained around here, no donner und blitzen.Originally posted by NickFitz View PostSend them our way

Freecell score: 89%, running average 83%.
Lunch: poached tomato and scrambled egg on Morrisons sunflower and pumpkin seed toast (thick crust), red corner yog, couple of blackberry jam sandwiches, 0.91 pints of good Glengettie tea.
I think I'll go for a walk in a minute.
Have I mentioned how crap the new lawn is looking?
I marked it out in yard squares and the seed plainly didn't sprout in said markings despite being raked over.
Very disappointing.
And a couple of patches are obviously less fertile than others with depressingly little in the way of germination, possibly because the seed was spread a little thinly as the end of the box approached.
I suppose it'll fill in eventually, though I may just get another box of seed to help it along a bit.
The feathered friends seemed to take in innerest too, before it germinated.Last edited by DoctorStrangelove; 10 August 2020, 13:33.When the fun stops, STOP.Comment

The rest of the roast beef has been sliced, packaged and frozen: some bundled in sufficient quantities for a dinner, some the right amount for a lunchtime bap; all except for some that was used for lunch of a roast beef sandwich on white sesame bloomer

Walk walked.Originally posted by DoctorStrangelove View PostI think I'll go for a walk in a minute.

A deddus rattus was discovered in the side passageway, and on the trip down to the compost heap, the new lawn came under inspection.
It really is grim in parts and almost ready for mowing in other parts.
There's some broadleaved weeds taking advantage of the bareness of said grim parts.
I suspect some more grass seed and some of that lawn sand stuff should improve things a bit.
Oh, the expense.

Trying to renew my (overdue) TV Licence and the site isn't allowing logins, just locking up for twenty seconds or so then bailing with a "currently undergoing maintenance" message. Still, at least it saves me the trouble of looking up whether they still outsource it to Crapita

Sounds like it.Originally posted by WTFH View PostOK, something else is wrong.
Tea: more of yesterday's roast beef, orange segments and custard, 0.91 pints of good Glengettie tea.
Entertainment:
The Prisoner "Schizoid Man" commentary: this was even more tedious than the commentary on the other ep, even included details of the chap's LSD experience.
The Prisoner E6: "Many Happy Returns" wherein our hero finds the village totally empty, builds a raft, escapes back to that London, finds someone else living in his house, gets the bunch of funnies he used to work for to launch an investigation, and voila! ends up back where he started.
Well there's a surprise since there's another 11 eps to go.
