Good Morning Wednesday, 5th August 2026

[Bruce]

Good morning all on what is going to be a repeat of yesterday weatherwise, not a cloud in the sky hence cold nights below 10°. I had to get up at 2am to make a hot water bottle last night.

First thing this morning I filled in the 2026 Census form on line, just to get the damn thing out of the way.

Since the council removed a small tree outside my block I have spent most of the rest of the morning tidying up the area.

What is it with dog owners? Why pick up their dog shit then chuck the full plastic bag away in the street, surely it would be better just to leave the mess and let it rot?

Had to buy some D cells this morning for my doorbell, it actually takes AA cells but they only lasted 5 minutes so I added a battery holder. God knows how many years the cells lasted but all good things must come to an end. Now I have to wait until the AA batteries I temporarily replaced them with expire.

Another whinge the D cells come in packs of four I only needed three

Enjoy your Wednesday.

Take care…

Good morning!
Cloudy, dull, drizzle, but mild, no wind

General pottering this morning, then going to the Men’s Shed this afternoon

Just sneaked in under the wire…
Rest day today with just the Tesco shop early on and now out of the way. I have to decide what to do with the rest of the day, but first, take Rosie the cat to the vet for her annual vaccinations.
Personally I don’t have vaccinations, but I’d be heartbroken if anything happened to Rosie because I neglected her medical care.
Her appointment is 1:15 pm so I’ll continue compiling my list of all the F1 world champs since 1950 until it’s time to go…

Goodness … are you going to do that without looking them up?
Clever as well as handsome.

Hate to burst your bubble Morty, but I downloaded a file off the internet, but I like to organise my own databases for when the internet is no more.
You’ve made me blush with your second description of me…
