We keep the fan in the bedroom going for them more than us as well as a dog bowl of water on the landing. Edit: I felt that I should add that we don't lap from the same bowl as them, no matter how it is!!

In this weather we,like many round here always have a biggish bottle of tap water in the fridge. It helps that our tap water tastes good. No need to freeze it unless you intend going on a trip or summat.

When there are thunderstorm s they can blow the Sosh box and even blow our phones, this has happened in the past. So we disconnect it. But we can still use mobiles,so we do. Dottir tells me she is off the plane and OK. I suspect she has...

1 and 3

5 and6 are supposed to illuminate a led to tell you the thing is on or not. It don't work but I don't care.

It’s next to sex panther

Sadly I've seen peeps walking their dogs on the pavement at midday ... useless fecking owners ...

Its melting outside we have peeps coming at 5 for drinks then I'll get the bbq fired up. I think its too hot to sit out got a big fan going in the living living room to keep the dogs cool, they have a pool outside as well. :)

Dunt drink it.

Does your coffee take longer to make 🤔. J

Gorra 1.5L plastic bottle ov water int freezer to make me drinks. Never leave it in long enuff to freeze. Just go cold and form a bit ov ice round the inside. When cold it goes int fridge. Tis quiet outside. Good to see peeps taking up the...

Hope W gets out. If you have now turned off your coms link. I have done my fair share of long Wts in airports. J

Which terminals? J

Not seen that one on the duty free aftershave counter :p

Today I took W to the airport for her first trip to Blighty. Got there in plenty of time. Got back 45 mins later so at about 13:30. She was still in the airport at 1600hrs. Flipping Ryan hair. She said apparently the plane never fully left...

It works if I connect two wires, positive and load to the two terminals. So I am happy with that.

Just got out of the pool, I feel cool:p. J

They are doing 1 of 2 fings. Fighting for winter nuts, or fighting to get there nuts off 🤔 J

I would also add that the switch makes the connection (would agree bimetalic switch) to P & N but the load, your floor element maybe off terminals 5&6. Who knows what goes on behind? J

I have fixed 2 minor faults on the Mini today. :) L-Turn tell-tale on the dash was not working. Took the whole cluster out and checked the bulb which was OK. I cleaned the copper track and tweaked the bulb-holder spring contacts and it all...

Just hadda cool baff to cool down. Left the baff room door closed because the sun is about to hit the window. Nice and cool in the hall. Upstairs ok but downstairs is coolerer.

As you can imagine we, not having air con in the house, have become quite good at keeping the house cool. We close windows and curtains when the sun is on them but open doors and windows that are in the shade, which means the north facing side...

Indeed, the square labelled U must be the relay that controls the huge current that an underfloor eletric system uses. And yes, the B or 8 in the box must be the bimetallic bit that changes the switching according to the surrounding temp. So...

Ta mate.

My loft is gleaming now. I’m just in the process of spraying down everything with a Dettol solution. I’m not the biggest fan of Dettol smell but it’s an improvement on smelling like burnt hair on a turd. Problem is I go up there, spray and come...

The overnighter (booze cruise) is the only one I can recall ever being available.

Mornin Another hot day forecast Doors, windows an blinds all shut, still 25 in house Not going steam fair, it would be madness at my age to stand in a field with thousands of people, fridges and generators running, tractors and vehicle engines...

Is there only one ferry from aberdean to shetland per day? From wot eye see's this be correct.

Squirrels av bin fighting smornin. Squawkin at each uvva. Dropped enuff nuts from me window to feed them but they still chase each uvva oft.

Too ott fer me. Eye has had to take action. Curtains closed on the side the sun is shining. Earlier eye closed the windows when the temp outside were gerrin hotter than inside.
