I feel a grumpy day coming on.
My iPad and computer can remember things I do or like from years ago, but there is no website or programme that can remember what my preferences are for their bloody cookies.
My options are to accept all their settings, or to manage my own (saying I do not want to see any), and having to make this choose every bloody time because they wonāt instil a save preferences option.
So, eat your hearts out you barstards, I will never get fed up with clicking four or five times to stop all your bloody cookies!

After a month of footslogging, canvassing, delivering and pleading for votes in the Shropshire Council elections, I lost by just 39 votes. Gutted.

My dad lost by 37 votes in 1954.
Still got the window poster and hand bill. Found it amongst my grandmotherās belongings after she passed away. She was a lifelong blue-rinse Tory but kept my dadās Labour election literatureā¦secretly proud of my dadās political aspirations.

LibDems just gained 3 seats in Shropshire, missed another 4 by under 50 votes. One of outkr winners Iād the youngest ever Shropshire Councillor - 20. Not quite in the grave.
This area is utterly Tory. Stick a blue rosette on a pig and itāll win. My problem was trying to retain the seat for a retiring LibDem (ironically 10 years younger than me) when heād been in office 34 years and had a massive following of natural Tories. I couldnāt quite get enough to switch to me rather than revert to type.
I still believe in them.

A word of warning, although iām sure a few of you are already aware. Virtually all building materials are in very short supply. British Steel have closed their order book for the foreseeable, a lot of timber species are impossible to get hold of, a bag of cement can take two weeks and there is no aluminium until Q4 at the moment, other than what stockholders currently have. If you are thinking of that extension, you may well have to be patient!
Trying to build an emergency response facility and cant get a roof delivered until November!
This correlates with what the guy doing my new fence said.
Well blow it. Just given the builder the go ahead to redo our empty house in Bristol. Guess itās not going to happen quickly then
There is still some stock for certain items but prices are soaring, you have to shop around and it is getting snaffled up very quickly.
āThatā look.
Offered to do the right thing & drive Mrs P_F into town for a Dr appointment.
Specialist - she still gets hit by relapsed (to sanity) nah, to when she had mega allergic reactions to a Jellyfish sting back in the sandpit.
12:15 so we are 10mins early I say Iāll wait in the car.
10m later she is back the 09:15 is still waiting along with 5 others. Reception says maybe 1 hour maybe 4 hours dont go away.
So I sayā¦
āDo you have coins for the bus home?ā
And get THAT look.

Is this down to Covid, Brexit or something else?
The guy renovating our summer house seems to have bought a rainforest.
I heard HS2 the other day ?
Having said that ā¦ the local sand quarry has no shortage, itās just the likes of Jewson and Ridgeons etc.
Timber is something to do with the Eastern European (?) timber yards. Apparently they shut down every year (all at the same time !) for annual maintenance but that was then followed by Covid lockdown. This resulted in a global shortage of timber and boats were literally getting diverted to the highest bidder mid-ocean. Bonkers !
Iād assumed it was to do with the recent Suez Canal blockage.
