6.0 this morning.

No internet. Contacted BT - they gave us job number and said that it will be fixed by next Thursday. Half an hour later broadband back on.

My dreams of a week without admin were dashed as now I can access all my documents on One Drive. Never mind - probably better not to let admin pile up.

We are off shortly to Gooderstone Water Gardens for a relaxing stroll and then coffee in the cafe.

Luckily my summer wardrobe consists of a large amount of clothes that most people would wear in the winter so I will be well wrapped up as it is still quite chilly.

My winter clothes that I packed away are so warm that most normal people would only wear then if they were exploring the arctic.

A big hug for your internet free week of relaxation being ruined by those terrible BT engineers.

Oh dear @Krystyna23040
In every cloud, there was that silver lining...but 'efficient' BT dashed those hopes....

This is the same gentleman as the sketch on 4 June who was walking up and down with apparently no purpose. Here he is from the front view...

Sun is out.
Icy cold.

Time for a nap...

Have your best day...

Smashing sketch again. Wonder what he was looking or waiting for. Maybe he was just enjoying being out.

Blood sugars this morning were 6.2 . Much better than those low readings I have been getting recently.

I woke up grumpy this morning and no not Mrs J for change. I have no reason to be grumpy, I woke up.

Life is very hectic at the moment here in Tilehurst Towers.

@dunelm, a very funny posting, me, me’s and myself loved the Rince Snack Pack comments, but a hug for the dental issues.

Time to go and pander to Mrs J, she who is extracting revenge for stupidly marrying me.

Stay safe all, avoid a grumpy long haired obese old motorcyclist who has nearly all his own teeth……

Good morning everyone on quite a chilly start to the day here in the dark and dangerous north. 5.4 this a.m. and arn’t we so dead lucky that our fuel bills are still lower than they were higher but not lower than they were - or something - ask the Prime Miniature, he is fluent in FlimFlam and thinks that an efficient form of public transport is a helicopter. Disappearing fillings - how do these time sensitive modern tooth splints know when it’s time to depart so that you then have contribute to the dentist’s wallet again? - NHS Dentists - not free at the point of delivery after all. Appointment made for Wednesday so better start saving and living on gruel. Those old fashioned mercury based dental amalgams may, just may, poison you or worst still act as radio receivers for Radio Luxembourg and the adventure of Dan Dare but they would see you out - literally! Art bit - a tree! Hooray! Hope your day is full of good stuff. I have finished my koffy - best make some more.

The actress Lucille Ball during the second world war found while driving to a film set that she kept hearing music coming from her mouth thought she was going mad but when she told someone they explained to her that dental fillings could act as tiny radio receivers and she had just had some dental work done and sure enough when it happened again she realised she was driving past a radio station but she found it was happening at another location on her drive to work but it was not music but intermittent noises she eventually realised that it was morse code and became suspicious reported it to the authorities who discovered a radio transmitter under a house that was being used by a Japanese spy ring so her dental filling helped the war effort mad isn’t it.

5.0 today at 05.30. Still around 6 even after breakfast. Looks like it's going to be a better T2 day.

Bright but cold wind here today. Did a lot of cooking yesterday so not much to do today. I've realised that I love cooking (love baking even more) but actually don't much enjoy eating. It used to be great when I had people to feed but not so great now that all I do is feed the freezers, which are now bulging at the seams (all 3 of them). Freezers clearly suffer from obesity as well. Em's dogs do quite well out of it though. Must stop doing this. That's my resolution for the remainder of the year - bit late for New Year's resolutions, but it is becoming a necessity.
 
6.9 shocking suffering showery stormy Sunday.
Wet and windy, wintery and cold.
Heating came on during the night, doesn't do that in winter.
It just sums up this country. Miserable and depressing.

The lionesses are showing up the men's teams again. Shocking results this last couple of days.

Granddaughter in competition this afternoon.
Hope she does well.

Rince snack - but not the famous Dibbler ‘le-sausage-in-le-bun”.
