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.

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.

^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.

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....

My dream was about all the girls in the village getting pregnant but via some mind control, not by natural method. Out with LL1 later.

[xoggoth]

Same here. Glad you reminded me, running out of underpants. LL1 back from US but got a hospital appointment today, so do our walky tomorrow....

Local history group coffee meet this morning. Bit sparse as location probably rather to far for some. One lady dun alf yack, hard to get a word in. Scrabble with old neighbour soon. Oh for the old days when meeting up with ladies was sometimes for more inneresting things.

Old farty arty thing this morning as usual. Loony lady 1 is back from US, picked her up from Gatwick airport.

[xoggoth]

Off to a little volunteer thing nearby clearing a footpath. Just me and a lady I don't know. Mmmm.

[xoggoth]

I'm still doing my walkies near sunset. Glad when this *** heat wave is over.

Volunteer thing tomorrow called off due to heat, so free three days. My not loony lady 3 says she is poorly and awaiting investigations, hope it ain't summit serious....

Nice old fart history thing this morning. Exciting (NOT) afternoon doing more shed repairs. Checked my new house insurance and found I'd typed in value of £56600 instead of £566000. Had to pay an extra £37, oh well not too bad. Dunno where you'd get a 4 bed detached house for £56k, Sudan maybe.

I was always drawing the bedroom curtains in the afternoon to stop the sun heating the room up. Last night noticed the plaster had cracked above the window, assume due to the heat. Fortunately mostly fixed with some No More Nails, just a bit of sanding and repaint needed. I'll use temporary blackout...

[xoggoth]

I'm bit of a late getter upper, so tend to do my walkies in evening close to sunset at moment. Been doing more shed repairs this morning while the shed was still in shade of the trees. How exciting!...

Been wasting all morning trying to solve a MySQLI database problem for my small company. I deleted some columns for products we don't sell anymore, but when I list orders it is still using the old structure. WTF???

Oh well, got an old fart meet up later at a nice local farm....

[xoggoth]

Darn it, there was a little street party down the road today and I forgot about it. Busy going to dump with garden waste. What fun.

Sad news, the group walk on Wednesday has been cancelled as partner of nice lady I know who leads it has died. Don't get old!
