    Took ghastly old ll2 to music thing yesterday. Abba tribute band was good.

    Just doing boring stuff today, like fixing my shed door that wouldn't close due to wonkiness as result of subsidence. Lesson learned too late, if you get a new shed/greenhouse put it on a solid concrete floor.

    Gawd! Knocked over my mug of coffee and it spilled onto an extension lead and triggered the RCD in the garage. Now I've got to go round setting all the clocks again.

    Lone day today, loony lady 1 has got a hospital appt.

    Took ghastly old ll2 to a talk this afternoon, didn't stay myself - sounded boring. Finally got round to putting my Windows 11 PC into the office and using the 10 as a spare.

    But I'm sure it was my voice, sounded like me. Darn it! I must be dead!

    Maybe find out the cause when I get round to replacing my Win 10 PC with my new 11 PC. Looks yuck down there among all those wires, lots of dust and cobwebs....

    I turned my PC off and turned off all the wall sockets and the speaker was still doing the muttering sounds. Was obviously a recording of me but how was it playing?????

    Not much different for me. I really don't understand it, I open all the windows 2+ hours before bed and put a fan in one window but temperature in the bedroom hardly drops at all, 25' last night. Use a little almost silent fan from a computer, really helps. Been doing my walks close to sunset when that...

    Put off me walky until it gets cooler. Been doing lots of boring DIY jobs, mainly sealing garden paths, only in the shadowy bits to avoid that nasty shiny thing up there.

    Day to meself today. Actually got round to cleaning all the moss off the conservatory roof. Bit of a precarious job for an old fart, standing at top of a ladder. Spent over an hour looking at Google search problems on me business website.

    Took ghastly ll3 to a car boot this morning. Total waste of time. Advert said they ran until 1pm but they had mostly packed up when we got there just before 11.
    PS Checked the Eurovision winner online just now, Gordon Bennet, modern music is such total ****.
