Yeh, bluddy annoying when they stop selling favourite things, used to like those low sugar apple pies, Weight Watchers ready meals and various other things I can't remember....

Those of us in the SE seem to have the worst of it. 32 today. Not a drop of rain for weeks. Good job I have some permanently shady bits at the bottom of my garden....

[xoggoth]

Got to take me little van to the village garage for service shortly. Old fart meet up at local manor this afternoon, says it's in a shady place thank gawd.

Waylaid by lady neighbour up the road while on drive cleaning me van before tomorrow's service. Nice lady, but Gordon Bennet, can she yack!

Cockup yesterday, doing a rare clean in my office and sucked a USB stick into the vacuum cleaner. What fun sorting through loads of fluffy mess in the bag....

^Rather than om, my opening thought for the day is er, um......

Went with loony lady 1 on bus to Eastbourne today. Was rather hotter than we hoped but trip was interesting, better view from top deck than when you are driving.

Ah! There's a dead bird, Woodpecker I think, on my front drive. Maybe crashed into my window, but never had that happen at the...

Flipping fire alarm went off last night after I'd got into bed, 2nd time it had done it within a few hours. No smoke that I could see and battery was ok so suppose I need a replacement alarm. Off to yet more mostly old lady stuff soon.

Typical morning, spent with a couple of old lady neighbours, playing Scrabble.

Footpath clearance part done, just two of us. Nice coffe and biccies at other bloke's place.

[xoggoth]

Little volunteery thing clearing local footpath this morning, else nowt on apart from walk and farting about in the garden.

I'm a pensioner, AKA old fart, but the triple lock is ridiculous and unnafordable. Keeping in line with inflation only would be reasonable.

Rain here lasted less than 5 minutes. Not gonna do much for the plants. Free day today, boring morning fixing some patio slabs.

Not loony lady waiting for some scan results, don't sound good, hope she's ok.

[xoggoth]

Not doing my woodland volunteery thing this morning, tired and don't fancy working in this ghastly sun anyway. Off on shady walk with ll1 instead a bit later.

U3A, AKA old fart group, coach trip to Weald & Downland museum in Sussex. Spent day with 3 ladies from my art group. Quite fancied the largish lady I sat next to on the coach but she's married darn it.

[xoggoth]

^Agreed ditto. What a disaster Millipede would have been.

Inneresting that even the righty Daily Express seems in favour of greater public control of utilities.

Andy Burnham's talked tough on utilities – now's his chance for action | Politics | News | Express.co.uk

[xoggoth]

I'm a righty but not sure privatising some major utilities was a good idea. Profit should not be the prime motivation for some core systems. I did some contracts for the CEGB. Salaries were rather high but it was an efficient organisation. If Thatcher had not broken it up we might be able to build our...

Looking forward to NF releasing that widget to let us jump to a specific date in a thread so we can check if you are lying!...

[xoggoth]

Hmmm, that's an idea. There's a van that sells fish and chips at top of my road on Saturday afternoon. Myabe I'll wander up there to save me having to cook summit....
