Early Risers.

[TheQ]

Got rid of Waze, found a different one called Magic Earth., it claims to be recognised by Android Auto, but so far it hasn't. However the maps look good, the GPS speed is on the right, and it has an option saying communicate by Bluetooth.. so that might get the voice to work if A Auto doesn't.

 

Delivery from the house of strong ladies, SWMBO will be happy, a big set of artists pens, and also beech balls to make drop spindle weights.

Solder paste and flux were also delivered, along with support wheels for the gate that's under construction.

The welkin of course opened while the parcels were being passed to me..

 

Thundering tractors.. they are sugar beet harvesting now.

 

Mixed grill this evening, including black pudding, liver and kidney..

@Debs.  Your Aldi has even more chrimbo fodder out than ours does!  I don't need any chrimbo pud this year, I've several puds in the cupboard that will be at least 18 months matured* by time I get around to eating them.

 

I'm waiting for the mince pies to achieve a best before date sometime in the new year before I buy some, they're currently at 13th November.

 

* They were "6 months matured" when I bought them last year...

 

I couldn't believe how much Christmas bloat and how early the festive aisle had appeared.....I took the picture as I doubted my friends would believe it either! ☺️ 

.....What's next, hot cross buns? 🙄

Good news: I no longer have to isolate.

Bad news: Mrs Shed tested positive today so we can share our misery.

 

Tomorrow will be Day 5 since I tested positive, so if I test negative* I can venture out for shopping. Worst case, in west London we have access to all of the online delivery services so an extra day or two of housebound confinement won't be much of an inconvenience, although I am looking forward to a bit of fresh air.

 

*According to government wisdom no test is necessary - I'll be a free man if I'm not running a temperature. But I'll err on the side of caution.

You're about a day plus ahead of me. We had the reverse, whereby the Mrs was first into the fray and is now past the 5-day, I therefore "got it" from her.

There is NO WAY IN HELL I'll suggest she's to blame though, I value my life and liberty too much to be that stupid!! 😲😲

 

Given we were both placed on Plaxovid, subsequent testing is, by professional opinion, a waste of time, as after the treatment you'll test positive for some time later!

 

BIN day <meh> and I did manage to get the BINs out there, but disinterested either way.

I'll miss choir rehearsal again today, but since I still feel fairly carp and very congested it's no big loss.

 

Another day inside for us b, but we'll be watching the WNBA Lynx or home team (womens basketball) tonight in the first game of the championship finals.

 

Weather is staying late August-like around here at 16c and sunny BIN time and 28c the expected high. Fear not @southern42 we will see an overnight of 0c Monday 😀

 

Onward...
