Morning, Fine n dry here, hope it lasts and I can get some outside stuff done. 
Went to the pool and only another 4 people in…Bliss.
Has my usual coffee at The Front and watched a now calm again ocean.
I usually have a pot of soup n tatties sitting as Dunc likes a couple of bowls for his lunch.
Just house jobs this afternoon.
Enjoy your day everyone.

Good morning! Having the pool almost to yourself sounds like pure bliss. Nothing beats a quiet swim followed by coffee with an ocean view! Hope the weather holds out for your outdoor jobs. Enjoy the calm afternoon

Morning all, and welcome Patrick.
Soup, eh? Haven’t made any for ages. I’ll suggest to the domestic staff (Mrs and Daughter Dex) that I be allowed to make some for them next week, in between the rest of the washing, ironing, house repairs, cooking other meals etc etc that I do most days anyway.
Talking of which, in a short while I’ll have the house to myself for a few hours which means an opportunity to finished off some touching up of paintwork without being disturbed or it being ruined before a chance to dry.
Am chomping at the bit…
Have a good one, each and all.

Good Evening Folks…just thought I’d pop in to say goodnight as I’m having an early one,
I also have a feeling that Patrick is another AI…Too many threads/ questions for a Newbie Methinks…Hope I’m wrong.
Goodnight! I promise I’m real—just an over-enthusiastic newbie trying to get involved! Rest well, and I’ll slow down on the threads tomorrow.

@May, I don’t think he is. If he is, then it’s blooming convincing.
I’m trying to remember where I read about there being a command to say or type to a machine/computer/AI thingy which would cause it to cease its program and reboot. I’m sure there’s some failsafe things built into the software.
I haven’t a clue about AI thingys Dex …but I’m curious to know what a ‘jello salad’ is…found it.
Jello salad is an American salad made with flavored gelatin, fruit, and sometimes grated carrots or (more rarely) other vegetables. Other ingredients may include cottage cheese, cream cheese,

I looked it up too. Has to be said that the few pictured I saw didn’t look inviting. Fruit, maybe. But veggies suspended in jelly??? Hmmmmmm indeed!
A Jell-O salad is a retro dish made with flavored gelatin (Jell-O) combined with chopped fruit, nuts, marshmallows, whipped topping (like Cool Whip), and sometimes even cream cheese, cottage cheese, or shredded vegetables.
Despite being called a “salad,” it is usually sweet, served chilled, and molded into decorative ring shapes or set in a glass casserole dish. @May

I’m still recovering from the shock of being given some peanut butter and jelly (ie jam) on toast by an American lass who I shared a hall of residence with at uni back in 1984.
It must have come from a witches teat for fodder for satan.
