Morning all

A light frost and foggy/misty out. Currently 0 degrees with a high of 6 forecast. Once the fog/mist has cleared it ought to be quite sunny. Barometer down to 1036 mBar.

All bed linen, including the mattress cover, was laundered yesterday. I even got some of it out on the line for a waft in the afternoon sunshine.

Tired though this morning as I had a disturbing dream that's left me unsettled even though I don't remember much of it.

[WTFH]

Morning all
Cold & frosty here, so outdoor jobs will have to wait. These include: lifting part of a path I put down to re-lay it flatter, putting preserver on a wooden frame, and then finishing staining a post which is going to be part of an installation at a friend’s house.

Good luck! <- manly

I feel a bit rested this morning, so it must have worked.

The pair of opal hunters who pride themselves on their digital/renewable lifestyle learned the hard way that you shouldn't try to carry a large solar panel in 65kph winds if you don't want it torn out of your hands by said winds and smashed on the ground

But other than that, most of them did OK

And the sapphire hunters came to the end of their seasons with a whole variety of electrical, mechanical, and hydraulic problems yet somehow still managed to find some

I do wonder at some of the mines, machines, and electrical installations in these programmes though. Is Australia completely lacking any kind of health and safety regulations?

Anyway, time to get to bed and do a little reading before lights out

Goodnight all

Tonight’s bedtime concoction is 1000mg paracetamol, 440mg naproxen, 385mg valerian root, washed down with peppermint tea. Who says rock ‘n’ roll is dead?

TFBSZ.

Dinner was sea bass with lemon & pepper butter, with kale and leeks, and a pint of blackcurrant cordial.

Tea, then, has been lamb scouse with a couple of slices of seedy bloomer

And four more for the freezer. Though even with two freezers, I'm going to struggle for space for them and the Scotch broth, which is still simmering gently in the slow cooker

The car earlier was a VW type 2 van, which is still apparently going strong as it's taxed until December

And some of the gold diggers had to call in a snake catcher when a deadly serpent invaded their patch. I suppose it's cool in a way that Australians can make a living out of catching snakes

[NickFitz]

The kitchen here might be a lot smaller than the old one, but it's considerably better designed, especially in terms of the amount of worktop space available. As a result, I can have both the slow cooker and the InstantPot™ going at the same time. So, having spent much of the day making the precursor stock, the slow cooker is now using half of it to make Scotch broth; and the IP is busy making scouse with the rest

I meant to do this over the weekend, with the stock bit happening overnight, but I kept forgetting to put it on

+ what everyone else says.

Dipping in, life is incredibly tulip at times, hug your loved ones and for the love of god make a will if you haven't already!

Oh - that makes what was already something incredibly difficult way worse.

If you have children make sure everyone knows the plans for if the worst happens.

Bed linen being laundered.

The bed was stripped, aired and remade yesterday but the laundering part didn't really happen.
