Morning, all. Slightly cloudy, 21° forecast. Guests for lunch, so have to get to gym and back in a hurry.

Another beautiful Spring morning, 10C, persistent rain, but the wind has dropped :((

Good morning all,
25c soothsayer 28c high thin haze overhead.

I used that ear spray that OFSO mentions for clearing the wax last night, now completely blocked.
I expect that as I descend later they will clear with a crack.

The no progress on the pond is getting me down.

We can't market this with a hole in the ground.

Ear spray has little effect but the noise is entertaining!

Wife cooking lunch for guests. Blasted Smeg clock failed on oven. Can't take it apart to short-circuit clock switch as too hot. Wife went to shower while oven cools down. Hairdryer exploded. One of those days. Putin, come and drop an atomic bomb on me. I've had enough...

A tad windy and rain coming here in CA. I do get to go fly however---well administer 2 checkrides, so I don't actually get to fly...

Morning all. This part of CA has bright sunshine and mostly blue sky. The two remaining puppies went for their final round of vaccinations today. Cassini weighed in at just over 43lb and Rosie (formerly known as Black) just over 41lb. They were 14 weeks old yesterday. Rosie goes off to her new home next Wednesday.

Cassini went to his first conformation class last night, first time he's been anywhere other than the vet, and the first time he's met dogs to whom he's not related. Everything from an 8mo Irish Wolfhound to a Yorkie, so a wide range of sizes.

Very mild out tonight. Change in weather coming: my right hip is painful for first time in my life.

Good morning, rabbit rabbits rabbits!

High overcast, 11.7°C expecting a sunny afternoon and 22°C.
They had predicted rain but must have run out, because it's orf now.

Funny thing: touch-lamp in the living-room failed to operate; tried new bulb, still no go.
Its predecessor had also given up so I was resigned to its failure.
Touched it inadvertently yesterday and, behold! light! :-bd

Morning all.

Clear blue sky, 21c with a high of 26c scheduled.

Have just ordered tonight's food for delivery between 19.00 and 19.30. Tis Chinese.

Very quiet in town.

No need to go out again today apart from walking Ed.

Took the facia panel off the Smeg oven, removed clock, connected contact wires together, disabled defective clock itself, reinstalled, all works. What a hideous construction the Smeg is! A death trap.
