It's very much a thing now. But one of my student houses was no. 13, so clearly not an issue in the 30s.

I started having flu jabs maybe 6 or 7 years ago. I go to the same national pharmacy branch every year and every year I am amazed at how non painful it is. I always tell the staff how pleasant it is to be done there.
Just need to book this year's jab

Kettering probably deserves it.

If schools said kids couldn't do after-school clubs unless vaccinated, it would be 100%

I have been known to send undercooked toast back and demand it done correctly!

Toast should be properly dark brown all over then cooled to allow this level of buttering.

We didn't have Fairy washing up liquid. We had a bottle that was forever refilled and was never made into a space ship, or anything else. Granny used a brand in a flat bottle.

Q. What's brown and sticky?
A. A stick

Looks exactly like Bro's 45 years ago (different brand). Mine was royal blue.

While I was lounging by a Greek pool, my dishwasher was making sure I come home to clean dishes and my battery was charging. A smallish total of 5.6kWh.

Free energy tomorrow 12-2pm. Trying to work out what time to remote start the dishwasher based on local v UK time difference.

Charity shops are notorious for not having drivers when they arrange to pick up/ drop off items. I took a day off to have them pick up an exercise bike. Took me some discussion before they agreed I could leave it outside for them to collect another day. And 2 more missed dates.

Mine has a green stripe. I use it as an under blanket / mattress cover.

I keep seeing stories about the new AI "actress". Is this not just a cartoon creation? We have live action movies and animated movies. The reason people like live action is that they can see a real actor they like in a new role, or reprising an existing role. Do we really want to watch AI cartoons?

Why do all breakfast recipes involving oats and/or chia seeds have to be served in jars? When did bowls become a savoury dish, rather than just dinner.

I emailed them before installation and said I would be getting solar panels and would be using them for export. I will get 4.1p for about 350 kWh so far out of the 1.48MWh I have exported. These are the things that are definitely not explained anywhere on anyone's website.

I gave up on this garbage last year. The World Service is far less rage inducing before breakfast and does wonders for my mood.

Octopus. It seems to be taking forever for all the paperwork to be processed. They had it all 6 weeks ago.

2 MWh of power generated since 4 July. 70% exported to the grid. Still waiting to be paid for any of it.

Did they ever do a decimal version? I'm 0.25 gone, I'm 0.5 gone?

I'd have gone to the beach, but they've now closed that. No idea what the staff are up to.

Fortunately, the majority of the clerks have at least some clue. As long as they request a precept within the defined timescale, I don't need to take much action. I try to be as informative and helpful as possible. It's the new Reform Ltd unitary councillors who are generally more troublesome.

A blue outdoor table tennis table in the rain.

Rain has stopped play. Even the pool is closed, which is a bit odd, as we can't get much wetter. A few hardy souls have been to the beach to swim.

I'm away at the moment, but I'll have a look when I get back at what there is. We may be able to come to some arrangement.
