After teaching the grandkids to play chase the ace I have to do it after every evening meal.
And they beat me all the time.
I have decided I do not like restaurants as I can cook better food than them.

Last night they had 4 fires within 4.9kms of their village. Couple of places i had been yo were evacuated
200 hectares destroyed yesterday alone.
The area looks like the South Downs.
Arable farmland some small deciduous woods and villages.
They had go bags packed, village volunteers visited every house last night to make sure everyone knew rules/had a lift.
Heat is brutalā¦
Temp & wind down today
Indeed.

I have an excellent air conditioning unit, works superbly.
Unfortunately, itās in the workshop. So I can keep beautifully cool while I toil, but get baked again as soon as I venture back into the house.
We are going for one in the bedroom and one in the seating area of the kitchen that we have turned into a green house thanks to a lantern roof all running off an external condenser unit
The youngest youngling is staying at his nanās place on Tuesday so we thought weād go to the cinema to watch Superman.
However, looking at the cinema listing, Superman is not playing on Tuesday night, JUST Tuesday night. Itās on every other night of the fricking week JUST not Tuesday
WTAF
Perhaps they just didnāt want to wreak the whole week. 
Thatās when the kryptonite comes out to play.

Surely the dust affects the resonance so therefore the sound ?
So does that not make it your job? 
Certainly not, Sir. The dust contributes to the patina, but has no effect on the tonal qualities.
You nearly lost me to a Darwin Award.
My knee is lets be polite unstable.
It has limits I am working and rehabing to improve.
But sometimes it doesnāt work.
Like yesterday would not press down the fierce clutch pedal -
Iād cut the lawn with the tractor mower.
Was going back into the barn, miniscule misjudgement meant the clutch caught on the door with my leg between them.
Mower kept going, barn door broke and toppled onto me.
By grace of something a stepladder caught it so I am still here.
Family wish I wasnt. And there goes my newly found pension this month paying for a custom repair.
Mower is fine, leg just a mess of pulled/strained muscles - again.
Tramadol time
Clearly it was an old injury to the door but that just negated any insurance option
Somewhere a tree is paying for my mistake
