Hot and cloudy here. 35C, feels like 41. Ugh. Thunderstorms forecast so hopefully that'll cool things down a little. Even with the AC on it's 29C inside the house.
Never seen so many outraged postings re Clarkson. Astonishing, the level of indignation over a person, and to a lesser extent program, they profess to hate...
So much judgement too, based on nothing but rumour and speculation.”
FFS don't some people have better ways of occupying their time? I'm glad I missed it.
Are the posts for or anti Clarkson? I watched a couple of episodes of Top Gear and just couldn't see the
point of them, sorry.
According to the good old DM, Clarkson reported himself to management. Also it was just a bit of pushing, not punching. I think BBC should think again about cancelling the remaining show, and this does all seem to be a very personal vendetta. I feel very sorry for the other 2 clowns who present Top Gear.
I think his behaviour in spending 2 hours in a pub while staff at the hotel were waiting to serve dinner was inconsiderate. Maybe he didn't realise this. "rolls eyes"

It must be the same one every day, hope it's not bad luck.”

Do you (or Hicky) live near a cemetery Barra? We have a few in our local churchyard, which, frankly, does smell rather iffy in summer... In autumn we get lots of fungi cropping up from coffins... Just thought I would share that with you!

Oh, ok, i like the Crows, this ones a big boy, or girl, not sure.
We have dispensed with the food shed, buying a lot less, only got the American fridge freezer so not a lot of frozen food but the unit has a fantastic fridge section.”
Maybe the previous incumbent used to feed them carrion daily!

I like Dermot, even if he does have this awful habit of dropping his voice when he gets excited and at the end of each sentence..

Another wasted day, had it all planned, the gardener was going to put the timbers for the raised beds in stack by each of the 5 positions, and to lay the area out for the big summerhouse and Gazebo.
Him and a Bricklayer were going to build the front step as the door is now 3 bricks higher than the drive.
I was also going to build the Double wooden compost bin and position it so it can be used.”
Not long now, eh Hicky?! Holding thumbs etc..

For instance, we have got a huge sack of spanish onions (£3) on the top of the cellar steps at the moment which is neither safe or practical.
Do you think you might be better with a slope rather than a step?
I lost hyper's quote somehow.
Thanks for telling us about Dermot, Hyper. I knew nothing about it. I might have a look at that.
Oh. Just had a look. Bloody Keith Lemon is on it. ( *switches off*”
Thanks for the warning Honey!

These American style fridge/freezers are good, the fridge door is like a cupboard, the freezer isn't so big but it's to stop us buying to much food to store, which isn't good.
A slope can get slippy under certain conditions, i don't mind steps but even thats on hold now because of the weather.
He used to be funny, have gone off him.”
It's that revolting bandage he wears on his right wrist that I find offensive. Presumably it is due to repetitive strain injury.
