    Yes that's right, from our patio doors I could see this cloud coming over and then I thought that's not cloud and I did hear a bang earlier on at 5 am. Once a gas canister exploded over there not sure if it was the same industrial estate.

      French bureaucracy. Can't beat it for raising the blood pressure to dangerous levels and reducing normally sane, calm and 'together' people to impotent, quivering wrecks. Pity we can't export it to Ukraine for use against the Ruskies. It'd all be over in a couple of weeks.

        The new eating plan is going well - in fact my weight seems to have stabilised - I feel much better in myself.

        Mrs. C. however is still not happy - she has bought me these - I told her that if I use them I will put on weight - but she's not taking any notice.....:doh:

        Still - anything for a quiet life....:smile:

              Not able to go out onto the balcony today as I've spent the morning cleaning our carpets! You wouldn't believe the colour of the water when I emptied the tank after finishing! :rolleyespink::yikes:

                  Scientists have grown plants in lunar soil for the first time, an important step towards making long-term stays on the moon possible.

                  A peat-free alternative.....:biggrin:.

                  Shorts came out of the drawer for about half an hour - should be a nice sunny day tomorrow though :blue thumb:.

                        Sitting outside waiting for the delivery/swapping of the metal for the roof. This might mean work recommences on Monday.

                            I haven't got my summer clothes out yet, but I do have long sleeve t-shirts still in the drawer from last year ready for this year, to be as a go between for the summer clothes.

                            Weathers lovely. Short sleeve weekend. I’ve popped up to my local golf club for a coffee then to the Greenkeepers yard to drop of fertilisers, herbicides and my knapsack ready to do the bunker areas.
                            Washed the van while there too as I only wash it once a year!
