    all very nice

    now I have an hour before the lady comes home from work, to make our cheese and wine party.

    Crusty bread, a prawn cocktail, coarse mushroom pate, boursin, a bowl of grapes and a bottle of white wine for the lady

    Bread, blue cheese, a jar of pickles, and cheese crackers, plus whats left of ten cans for myself

    then its up at six tomorrow for another day.

    its the contractor life for me boys. and girls

    Atlantic crossed on raft made of pipes

    Setting off from the Canaries.

    By an 85 year old, though his crew were sprightly 56-61 year olds.

    I would like to think that I could sail the Atlantic in a boat made of pipes when I'm 85.

    Edit: At least I hope yours is current temperature, or maybe a daily average, rather than a high, because a 10 degree difference in forecasts takes some explaining. Except with the words BBC weather, Met Office, etc. Someone will just have to fly out there and find out.

    The other big problem with Lanzarote is that there are no trees to sling a hammock off. What is there to do there? I may give Tenerife a whirl.
    eh ? it were 19c when i checked an hour ago

    Wouldn't it be easier, and save on dry cleaning bills, to hold him sideways?

    (I was going to say facing outward, but then remembered your earlier post )
