I give in!!

I bought a new (cheap) breadmaker from Argos only a few weeks before lock down and the rush to get them. The problem is it's naff!.

I've tried ever way I know but can't get a good dough or loaf out of the damn thing.

Return it I hear you shout, easier said than done.

It was bought from a main store which is closed, the local 'small' outlet has a sign saying no returns, the helpline isn't!

I intended taking it to the nearest store and just getting a refund/credit note but as it is now 4 months old...

GRRRRR!!!!

The weather here today has been so HOT!!!

I retreted to the bathroom and cut my beard, with a bit of luck there won't be a white line where I've chopped it back.

The hair isn't a problem, I do have a good head of the affor mentioned and had it cropped short just before lock down, so no problems.

Saltaire brewery delivered this morning, 2 new beers to try so...

It always amazes me how the people in charge let things slide away, then when not in power blame their replacements for the loss of such gems!

And cheap beer is not to be ignored, it'd be nice if my brewer did the same, until then though I'll just say 2Cheers!"

Once cut into logs and, if possible, split then a minimum of 6 months before wood is dry enough to burn.

But leaving for 12 months or more is recomended, and our stove is DEFRA approved so good to burn wood in our area.

Coffee time the some cleaning before beer o'clock..

My son's fence blew down in the recent strong winds and, due to interesting weather and covid lock down, has taken 4 attempts and sessions to get a new one installed.

We did it ourselves, he lives on a hill top with stunning views and wind...

...the weather type...

...that brings in interesting weather, soon each attempt 'rain stopped play'!

Finaly got it sorted yesterday and enjoyed a celebratary coffee enjoying the view.

The latest AP includes a photo taken at a boxing match when Randolph Turpin became World Middleweight champion - the same Randolph Turpin Mrs RobL wiped the floor with when he threw our son out of his flat! He did apologise afterwards and peace was restored.
The moral is don't mess with Mrs RobL
