    26 degrees here. Been in the sea that Maggie has posted a beautiful picture of. Fabulous weather. Major suntan.

    Back to work tomorrow.

    OH went for a swim at high tide this afternoon, said the water was really warm after coming in over the hot sand. We have one more day before we go home for OH to see dentist and me to see ENT nurse. Temp in caravan has dropped to a mere 80 F now. But was higher earlier...

    It's been a looooong hot day ... I really didn't need DOOFing... but I've had DOOFing for half an hour now. Luckily ... I think there's some heat exhaustion kicking in as it's half-4rsed DOOFing and not full on/competitive/aggressive.
    Actually, I think heat+doofing = grounds to commute murder to manslaughter with a minimum, suspended sentence.

    No problem - for future reference anything over 80° F in new money is simply 'kin' 'ot :rotfl:

    I'm not an aggressive person ... I'd always lose in a fight as I'd be useless ... so I don't wish to kill him/them. But I really wish SOMEBODY would :)

    It was two sets that moved in the same week .... the Omnipresent/screaming set and the DOOFers. It's been ~15 months now I think.

    Trouble is, they do say "careful what you wish for, you might get it" - and if they moved out I could get something worse!

    There's a SLIM chance now ...that he's all DOOF'd out ... not a single DOOF for a whole minute. There are about 90-100 DOOFs/minute when in full flow.
    That's more than 1 kick per second! Is he being fed footballs from a Gatling gun? :eek:

    By the way - 8.30pm BBC1 there's a programme about the Tower fire.

    Haven't they covered it all already with the nonstop "news", gossip, rumours and plain idle speculation?

    Well, given that it seems the police are to make multiple charges, it might be interesting viewing.

    I just hope they managed to lock down the offices, files and computers before any incriminating evidence got 'lost'.

    No. They need to condense that - speak to us in a condescending voice, put the fear of God into anybody living in a tower PLUS ... have some nice new graphics the presenters can point to.

    At the end the presenter will look all serious and adult as they deliver their final sentences.... followed by some dramatic music at the end :)

    You could have said you were posting a spoiler, Pastures! :(:(:(

    I'm surprised that is going ahead.

    I have the power to un-delete if you so wish.

    How hot was it here today? Well the tarmac melted, so very hot.

    Oh how I miss the AC I used to work in.
