At 6.30 when Feral’s house calendar server got the day’s weather forecast it was “sunny intervals changing to cloudy by lunchtime”. It is, instead, Damp.

We have had a mainly sunny day, with occasional outbursts of petulant heavy rain. The hive is requiring some effort to sort out, but nothing is too major to cope with. Tomorrow will be a day of no people calling to fix stuff and that will be a relief. I have lost the knack of lying in (today’s start was 06.35). Oh - we managed to recoup all of the deposit on our rental, despite the home report saying that the oven was greasy and ‘dirty’ and a shower screen was soap smeared and ‘dirty’. Blighters.

NALL, Soo
I may have pushed myself too far on Thursday, so Friday was an write-off, apart from lots of sweep.
Tomorrow is another day, & all that jazz

Complete with gold and silver carps
Quite enchanting when mixed with a gallery and the most beautiful Mediterranean style food served on small plates for all of us to share

Among the Fellows of the English Breakfast Society is one Dave Fry. This pleases me greatly. But if they want to consider themselves a learned society, they would be well advised both to expunge baked beans from the record and to study the correct use of ‘substitute’.
‘‘Its fine to substitute the back bacon for Canadian or American bacon if you cannot get hold of any,”.
Drat you, Twellsy. Am now craving the (immediately) unobtainable.

Mam used to cook a breakfast for Sis every morning. The smell of the fried bread was nauseating, to me, so I persevered with a cuppa. and a biscuit (home-made), in my bedroom.
{{{Squeal!}}} I have just received the samples I requested of the proposed sofa covering and tablecloths.
