I went to get my (remaining) Hair hoovered this morning and was pleasantly surprised to see a suntan demarcation line emerge from the freshly shaven neck!

I had my mop chopped this morning too, but I can't see a tanline on my neck owing to the fact that my eyes are on the front of my head... :-rofl2

Go - Cheap flight - to Delhi, and report back on the pleasantries.

The others will suffer the maelstrom that is upon this country in the meantime.

Lovely start to the day here, but it looks like change is in the wind (Ans/or wind is in the change). I went for a T-Short and Thongs earlier in the week, but am at this very moment assembling a flatpack Igloo.

It's been fairly sunny this morning, but it's gradually going yukky, the people working on a bitumen roof nextdoor-but-one best hurry up cos there's heavy rain due soon... :lol:

It'll be interesting to see how the next fortnight unfolds weatherwise...

Yes, I've just finished repairing the concrete dressing in the valley on my roof and am hoping it'll have gone off enough by the time the rain arrives.

Just the usual generally crappy british weather, assuming the guesstimates are correct, could be the other way round and sudenly turning into a super-heatwave or something that'll have the red-top rags coming up with bad puns and the daily fail saying everyone is going to have cancer (well, that said, they always say that!!)... :lol:

I was pricing up serrated nuts to replace some nuts and bolts that had developed superficial rust and it occured to me that serrated nuts must be a problem in sunny Spanish nudist colonies.

A lovely morning down here, (not quite dessicated nuts weather), but now it's clouded over with the threat of heavy rain and high winds for the next 24 hours. Tuesday onwards is also not looking like outside work is profitable.

Following a couple of days of nice sunshine, Sunday and Bank holiday Monday, we seem to have had nothing but high winds and rain.

I have developed a zip-in Sheepskin lining for my T-Short ensemble. A window for Beta Testing has arisen.
