Here we can all be heard for a little while. Part 3

I'll be doing that this evening Pyxis and was thinking the same - plus I have sunburn so it's basically guaranteed to get cold again

I had 26C the last couple of days and plan to change the duvet from medium "spring / autumn" to thin "summer" specification next time I launder the bed linen. It hasn't cooled that much overnight either, mid teens or so, but definitely dropped a few degrees today as there's no sun.

Still really muggy here this afternoon. I think it has cooled down a bit outside but our building is old and v poorly insulated so once it's soaked up the heat it gets unbearable.

I am genuinely excited about putting the summer duvet on - how sad is that?! I meant to do it last week and only realised I'd forgotten when I got to bed and was too hot :rotfl:. Seemed a lot of effort to remake it so have been too hot all week waiting for bed-changing day!

WaS you need to move here. Today it is 14C and forecast 10C tomorrow.��

Actually, I take it back. It's still overcast, but we had a smatter of rain earlier, which has made things very humid.

I had to suddenly rush out this afternoon. I'd noticed on Tuesday night, coming back from AmDram, that one of my headlamp bulbs had gone, luckily the near side one. I forgot about it until this afternoon as I haven't used the car since. Suddenly realised that the workshop I'm doing tomorrow involves driving back after dark! So phoned the garage and luckily they were able to do it if I took it straight in.

And in case you're wondering why I didn't just do it, well with my car it's actually very complicated, a half hour job for the garage! You have to take something out before you can get at the headlamp fitting, (from inside the bonnet) and I did once try to work it out and gave up. Plus it would probably have made my wrists flare up.

Anyway, had to rush up there, a half hour drive during the school run. Except that I forgot the way, as I hadn't driven there from home for a few years, (they pick the car up from me for it to have its service and MOT.)
Ended up going in a big circle! :rotfl:

Anyway, while I waited I was able to have a nice coffee, and started a crossword from their courtesy newspaper. Plus they said I could take the crossword page, as it was nearly the end of the afternoon! Good, 'cos I was enjoying doing it!

Anyway, on the way back I thought I could fill up with petrol, in view of the drive tomorrow, as I was getting a bit low. (I hate getting petrol, so I always fill it to the brim so that I don't have to do it very often! )

And popped into Sainsbury's as I was getting perilously low on loo-rolls.:eek:

So the headlamp bulb actually got me out of my pit!


Sainsbury's have started doing a rather nice coffee mousse. I bought one to try, and it is rather nice. Not too sweet.

Decided to get some spare printer inks, as I was down to my last black and magenta.
Got a four-colour pack and a single black and it came to £70!:eek:
It makes me soooooo cross! The inks probably only cost a fiver to actually make! It's such a rip-off. Apparently weight for weight they cost more than gold! :mad:
