Its Use By date was yesterday, but it tasted OK so I'm sure I'll be fine

Funny coincidence, I had a prawn cocktail that was a day out of date for lunch. Expect we'll both be dead by tomorrow.

Just back from walk, discovered a permissive path I've not noticed before, that's tomorrow's walky planned. Been deluged with texts from loony lady 2 this morning, including apology. Suppose I'll have to put up with the old ratbag a bit longer. Off up to the village club shortly.

For lunch, a pork pie that I'd forgotten about until I found it behind something in the fridge last night. Its Use By date was yesterday, but it tasted OK so I'm sure I'll be fine

Meanwhile in here, the washer-dryer is now tackling bed linen

Well, that didn't take long!

Next up: duvet

The instructions say such things should have the air squeezed out of them first. So I chucked it in one of those vacuum storage bags and hooked Henry up to it, and there's definitely no air in it now

Morning all, local time 1055

Sunny with high level wispy fluff. Currently 25 degrees with a high of 27 expected. Barometer down to 1016 mBar

Sunrise 07:47; Sunset 20:36 CEST

Currently at the airport. Heading home via Paris, of course. Feeling well enough to travel but am still taking things easy. HWMBO remains in Madrid for a few more days to indoctrinate some more unlucky souls.

There's quite a bit of rather wispy cloud about but the sun's getting through the gaps and thinner patches enough for it to be considered sunny out, albeit in a slightly muted way. Going to be rather warm too: it's already 18°C and will get up to 23° this afternoon. The barometers are plummeting though: 995/1003mB

But for some reason they once again stopped the wildlife at six in favour of a documentary about Steve McQueen followed by The Great Escape

Nice hagiography. . Particularly the approach he took to The Great Escape. Rewrites to make his part bigger. Oooer, mrs.

Morning.

Sunday.

Dry.

Grey.

Meanwhile on the 14th of February 2020 BR14 and Brillo competed for a pali, NF contratulated the latter, whilst I was in with the hoi polloi after going shopping.

Morning all
Was about to go out for a walk, then the heavens opened, along with a few rumbles of thunder. Waiting for it to ease before we venture out.

Lots of wildlife stuff as usual today, including a repeat of the first couple of episode of the otters in Singapore

But for some reason they once again stopped the wildlife at six in favour of a documentary about Steve McQueen followed by The Great Escape

So I watched the first of a two part thing about the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami on All4

And continuing the adventures of the new washer-dryer, a mattress topper and set of pillow protectors have been washed and dried

Goodnight all

[NickFitz]

Tea was brought to me from KFC

[xoggoth]

I've had it with loony lady 2, can't take any more listening to her repetitive yacking and doing her favours. I wouldn't mind helping out if it was something important but today she insisted on me driving her to the nearest town just to get a bottle of Roses lime juice and refused to get out of the car. From previous such trips I know I would have been hanging round at least half an hour outside the supermarket.

Lunch was a ham bap

The towels have been successfully washed and dried. I've now activated the "rinse out fluff" program, as there seemed to be a minor accumulation thereof

[NickFitz]

Morning denizens

Cloudy day, though some patches are thin enough to have a slight blue tint showing through. There's going to be a brief attempt at a heatwave this weekend; it's already 18°C and aiming for 21°, with 24° expected tomorrow, failing back to the teens on Monday. The barometers are about the same at 1007/1015mB

A towel wash is on as part of the process of dealing with the backlog of laundry that has accumulated

[ladymuck]

Afternoon all, local time 1206

Sunny. Currently 25 degrees with a high of 33 expected. Barometer down to 1017 mBar.

Sunrise 07:47; Sunset 20:38 CEST

HWMBO is better but yesterday I fell to the same sickness so no outings happened while I spent the afternoon and early evening throwing up. Slowly mending but we won't be doing much today either. Such a shame that the holiday days we had planned have been ruined by nasty gastric bugs. Not entirely convinced it was food poisoning, can't see where it would have happened.

Heading home tomorrow.

[WTFH]

Morning all
Blue skies out. Haven’t been for a walk yet, but that’s next on the agenda.

Meanwhile on the 14th of February 2020 Churchill, BR14 and Brillo popped in.

This morning's dream before waking involved someone with a gun holding people hostage in the house which I resolved by stabbing the mother****er in the eye with a nice pointy letter opener I had handy. Then I woke up to find it was all true. .

Washing frenzy in progress.

Freecell score: 93%, running average: 84%.

Walk (towpath, abbreviated) walked in the sunshine.
