Jobs sorted – bedroom tidier - 48F W wind 0 mph

.

If the title intrigues you, my 'weather page' intrigued me too. How can you have a West Wind at 0 mph ? How do they know ? I must ask Tim at the Club - he works in the Met Office locally.

An ‘at home day’ for relaxing together.

This morning I spent an hour plus, trying to make my bedroom tidier and I think I’ve succeeded. My photo-mounting boards and equipment are under my bed. (I once had a pal who kept welding rods under his bed so perhaps not that unusual a place for picture-mounts).

If you were unkind enough to think 'it doesn't look very tidy to me' - you should have seen it before !

We both did all sorts of jobs and by afternoon Y had back-ache so we both decided on a lie-down. Of course, carrying a 6yr old up the stairs at Palmers Green couldn't possibly be anything to do with it !

For main meal we had a Fray Bentos chick & mushroom pie, shredded sweetheart cabbage together with sliced leeks, carrots, and Maris Piper mash with swede mixed in. And although I’m trying to be ‘obesity-clinic’ aware, I mashed the potato with around half an ounce of butter. Not much, but it made a difference. Y did Angel Delight for pudding, delicious, so real cordon bleu stuff in the Radiogandy household. It is lovely to have her back – although I got told off for taking a picture of the African Violet on the kitchen window-sill while she was washing up.

The African Violet immediately made me think of Jill's/Bob's comment about hairy little yellow balls. Don't know why.

If the font does strange things today it's because there's been another googlemail 'outage' and I started the blog in Word and then copy/pasted when I got a connection. Google mail will loose many many customers if this happens much more. It is the third in around 6 weeks. It doesn't affect me greatly but if you are running a busy commercial Office it just wouldn't be good enough. Come back Mr. Gates. all is forgiven.

Two things I must remember to mention. Our 'S' registered Honda sailed through it's MOT test again.

Another is that Reg can remember a radio catch-phrase from wayback when, about

'It simply come to pieces in my hand !'

I think I also sort of remember it but its source eludes me. Google can't solve it, being convinced that I want to know about piano pieces played with the left hand, and arpeggios. Perhaps a job for 'nifty googler' !

My last picture, taken this evening and looking West, shows the vapour trails left by the aircraft returning from yesterday's Eastbound mission,

They seem to converge on the setting sun, as yesterday's converged on the rising sun. This is a little weird and explanations would be welcomed.

My responses to your previous comments

Pete ..... Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery is well thought of and has the best collection in the country of the work of the Pre-Raphaelites. Y's favourite artistic grouping.

Like you, we are both Museum lovers, as is Bob, and I think Jill. And I would guess, the others too. If you love beauty, and photographers do, they are a must. Having said all that I suspect that Brian S isn't 100% in favour. Places of endless fascination though and I would demonstrate to keep access free. It is what 'knowledge' should be all about.

p.s. I have 'accepted' your second comment, just for today. But I set up a bog rule of ONE comment per day and if I bend it for you, I would have to bend it for everyone else. cheers Graham.

BTW Pete, do you know you can now obtain White Blu Tack which doesn't show through even lightweight paper.

Bob..... I don't watch the sub-titles and radio doesn't go in for them much. The news on telly irritates me because of the journalists waving their arms abolut pointlessly. And I know it makes us bad people but neither of us can watch when someone is 'signing for the deaf'. I've threatened to cut a piece of cardboard just to fit over the right hand bit of the screen.

I also find annoying News 24's habit of repeating the same clips of film endlessly. After I've seen the same bit 4 times I tactfully retreat to another room.

Your Mansfield day by bus sounds good fun ! Particularly the Museum. BTW I understand Wetherspoons may be in trouble. I do hope they survive. The founder has contributed a lot.

Yvonne ..... Always a pleasure to cook for you darlin' ..... And yes, my fellow WoW-ers are very good re my mobility problems. When planning a walk they always bear in mind photo-opportunities for me and somewhere interesting to park. And there is always an offer of help with my wheels.

I hope they had a good day today and that someone sends me pictures for the Picasa Web Album portfolio.
