26th May 2018 - Awaiting the Electrician

Thought for the day:"Have you tried Blindfolded Archery? You don't know what you are missing!"

Well it is Saturday morning and a weak sun is shining through some high clouds. It is a quarter to eight in the morning and I am up!!! I have had a cup of tea and have done the Birthday wishes for the day...
This is not normal behaviour for me.
I have a house rule that the phone does not get answered until 10am and most people are aware of the rule now and only the occasional call comes through - to be ignored - but it can still disturb the sleep.

But no, the reason is that I am awaiting the arrival of the Electrician!!!
A number was found and calls were made.
A text went out last night as I hope to be in Bridgend by 11.30am for the installation of Brenhinnoedd de Cymru Conclave of the Red Cross of Constantine where though I am not doing much - I shall take office and support - if he arrives......

The text said that he would arrive between 8am and 8.30am and so I though it valid to get up and be ready - but of course he may be similar to me and like his beauty sleep on the weekend. I gather that electrician may or may not be his full time job - means little to me - I need someone who can work out the vagaries of the wiring in the basement and discover why it may want to trip out occasionally - especially the circuits with the freezers on them....

and so I am sitting at the window looking out upon the Bank Holiday Saturday lack of traffic and writing in this blog....

Saw some Mathematics this morning - which is also Green - so thought I would share it here...

I Love Math!!!

Well - no sign yet - but I shall stop here and do something else...
Cheers !

25th May 2018 - Towel Day and a hard boiled egg!

Thought for the day:"A study shows humans eat more bananas than monkeys - sounds legit - I can't remember ever eating a monkey"


There seems to be a day for everything in these times - but this is about as useless as any - but fun!

Today is Towel Day!

Towel Day is an annual celebration on the 25th of May, as a tribute to the late author Douglas Adams (1952-2001). On that day, fans around the universe carry a towel in his honour.

Can't believe that he died back in 2001- that is a bit of a shocker....

"Truth, Justice, Freedom, Reasonably Priced Love, and a Hard-Boiled Egg!"
The People's Revolution of the Glorious Twenty-Fifth of May ended the increasingly tough reign of Lord Winder....

On another shocker - here is a map of Great Britain

Seems legit!!

Have a good day -
Oh - and the electrician is coming tomorrow morning - so that is a bit of good news...
May need to go and get some cash out  ...

Cheers!

24th May 2018 - Searching for an Electrician - Day 2

Thought for the day:"Bad spellers of the world unight!"

Day 2 of trying to find an electrician. Hopefully I have - but I have not actually seen him yet.
Up ridiculously early this morning to go and examine the roof at the warehouse. Seems that some local thieves have been onto the roof and have stripped the lead form the walls and the flashing is all missing.  Managed to find various ways onto the roof and waiting to see if the Landlord will pay the asking price to fix it ... awaiting the photographs from the builder.

But he apparently knows a local electrician who should be able to do the job for us...

Waiting for his number ...

Meanwhile - on the subject of water damage...

Cheers.....

23rd May 2018 - In hunt for an electrician...

Thought for the day:"I was wrong about how good my Chiropractor was - I stand Corrected"

Today's task is to try to find an electrician in Llanelli who will not condemn the wiring out of hand ...
We have an old house and unfortunately on two occasions the basement wiring system has tripped out. The trip unfortunately covers the main freezers not only in the basement but for some reason the wiring up in to the utility room where the other freezer resides.

That means that we have a lot of chicken in freezers and heading off to Crete for a week - and not wanting to find that there is a lot of defrosted food when we return...

So - wish me luck....

meanwhile

not one to scare you but....

22nd May 2018 - Profiles and German Songs

Thought for the day:"Why are things delivered by car a shipment, but those delivered by ship cargo?"

Time to change the profiles again - week 20 it seems 142 days into the year ...

Seems that in 1843 1st wagon train with 700 - 1000 migrants, departs Independence, Missouri for Oregon...  lots more happened but that seems to be the only one that is interesting ...

And a touch of nostalgia as we look back upon the pre party

PurPur - Beschissen !!

Klang Gespinst

Enjoy

21st May 2018 - Where did today go ?

Thought for the day:"My camera’s got ADHD, it just won’t focus..."

Looked for most of the day to find a theme for a Blog today

Sadly - found myself in Cardigan for the De Gorllewin Lodge of Grand Mark Officers and expected to have the day off  but then found myself hailed for work at Llanelli in Prince of Wales Lodge for Master Elect and 2nd Degree to play organ ...

Means I have not ad much time today to consider Blog - so this is it really

Cheers ...
Have had enough Scotch over the street so will be on Water and Coke for the remainder of my evening

I raise my glass to whatever you are drinking

Slainte

20th May 2018 - How Old ?

Thought for the day:"Why isn't "palindrome" spelled the same way backwards?"

Another sunny day and a Sunday as well. Off to Nant-y-ffyn for Sunday Lunch with the Mark Provincial team. The Chickens are almost all in the freezer - the last three to be cleaned today and the "layers" are all in the outside pen and enjoying the sunshine. That means I shall soon get the basement back again and after fumigating will probably be able to think about recording again.

Took the dog for a walk to ease the pressure on the Chicken Factory yesterday. 'Thena seemed to enjoy..

a quick dip

wet dog

Who me ?

Yes there is a dog out there 

I managed to risk putting the television on this morning and almost managed a full ten minutes making a cup of tea without too much mention of the royal wedding. We can soon all get back to normal I hope and be re-unindated (if that is a word) with Brexit news...   I think I may have to give up TV.  I understand why people can nowadays stick to Netflicks or similar.

Apparently I have today been alive for 23,469 days - Susie decided to check this sort of thing first thing this morning - who would have guessed ? (there must be an app for that!)

Better Celebrate with a glass of Chateau 41
Cheers!
