He was on night shift last night and saw our python again at 01.00.

Is your python a good ratter?

He should be but 1 python isn't going to get them all.

Miserable weather cold and windy. Having a breakfast beer. Gardener night guard on his creative patrol time registering again. I challenged him with his 04.23. He didn't do it and missed 2 others. That is 40% off. 2 more beers for us. Not in the UK though I see a lager is now 7 quid a pint.

How's your new PM doing? Tax cut on curries yet?

Some amusing remarks from the media in India regarding John Company and how the wheel has turned from us ruling them...

Are we going to have to attend head-wobbling classes ? Akcherly - Sunak doesn't, funny that.

Vampire had problems finding veins to extract blood from this morning. Said I had bad veins. Think it's more likely to be the large bruises on both arms where cannulas were put in last week for purpose of scans and radioactive liquid administered through one and contrast liquid in other arm and her trying to extract through both sites.

Morning everyone, extremely mild in the Royal Borough today, 16C already, must be one of those Spanish plume thingies. Flew back from Cyprus Monday afternoon some lovely views of the Greek Islands as we headed North, but I don’t think we saw yours Ex-A’s , probably just a bit to far West.

[Wodrick]

Good Morning All,
24c seaweed 28c Heavy full overcast.

Vampire struggled to find a vein 'tother day on SM ended up sort of 90 degrees round her arm from the normal spot.
No pain, No bruise.

My Galaxy Tab is on the road delivery today.

Punto to the vet later for a follow up scan. I get to take him in case it's bad news.

I see *Ibbie*

Have I missed something ? Essex seems quiet.

On the train to the Smoke to take letter in person to Heals CEO about The Bed Fiasco. Transport costs me nothing and I'm free this morning.

As the article is only two days old, perhaps Wodders had read it himself

[Wodrick]

I had read it but used G to locate it speedily.

Bottom of a learning curve my first tablet has arrived.

We have a bunch of British stamps here, I guess I need to remember to take them with me next time I visit the UK to get them exchanged, assuming they don't invalidate them all by then.

RAF Chinook SHF567 just flew over West to East. I had to ask the Mem' if what I heard was a washing machine on spin, in an upstairs flat, but with her covert background she identified it as a RAF flying washing machine, slightly higher.

Good morning: 11°C, may reach 13°C; dull, overcast and expecting rain.
I think I have to go out in it later.

[Ibbie]

Morning all.

Sun is just getting over the hill to the east. It is a clear sky today. A high of 26c suggested, whereas presently 18c.

Awaiting arrival of cleaner. Mrs IB off to art because it's Thursday.

[Ex-Ascot]

Morning folks. Another miserable one. Bit of rain in the early hours but not even 1mm. We will have to run the genny again today. One hour seemed to be enough to get the battery up yesterday.

The excitement of the day is servicing the worm farm. Haven't done this before. 'erbert has been shown how to do it by the guy who built it. When asked this morning if he remembered the response was a grunt which I took as a negative. Just done some research and it is not difficult but messy. One will supervise. Should get some good worm cast compost out of this.
