During safety cars I've finally got all the sand out of the trailer and all the bays covered up while the temp here is now up to 20C (feels like 16C).

I may get my big tarp folded up and put away during another decent safety car break while I'll park the car and trailer where they both belong tomorrow.

Anyhow it's back to watching these super expensive sports cars go nuts.

Cheers.

Yes to the magic smoke!

So far avoided that...


Meanwhile... This far into the shift and...

What is it about people and this time of night?


The creeping cold and damp and dark likely doesn't help with the Vampire-like mood of the place...

14 hours after Martin's question.
What were you doing up at 03:05 on a Sunday morning in the UK when all good little girls and boys are in bed?

Well that's the veggies watered, a large bag of shopping picked up, the dishes done, 12'x16' extra heavy tarp folded away, the trailer parked back down the backyard and the sedan parked back in front of the shed this morning and I'm now ready for a couple of beers.

It's now at a very muggy 23C (feels like 21C) with just the odd very small spit landing now again.

Cheers.

In the Food Desert.

... And where is everyone? What's happening??

This place is spookily quiet, with perhaps just 6 of us in this area, and a handful of magic elven workers hidden in the next area.

Really? Is everyone else hidden in the buildings and really, no deliveries?


... I'm sure this ain't one of those Bank Holiday Mondays!

(Is everyone else off sick with hangovers after their first pay packet of the year???... I wouldn't put it past this lot!)

Escaped for a beer! Yay!

That jet stream over the Atlantic must be very badly kinked into due south!...

Is Russia melting the Arctic, and the now non-permafrost, all far too quickly?

With dark clouds to the east and NW of here a little bit of sunshine has the temp up to 20C (feels like 19C).

Anyhow I decided to put on a load of washing (just for something to do) while I enjoy my last coffee for the morning.

Cheers.

Under a dark grey wet overcast...

And enjoying a sort-of-day-off... Apart from a couple of support requests! Oh, all by the power and curse of remote support...

Just another day in The Food Desert!

I have a t-shirt with bold letters across the front spelling out:

"No, I will not fix your computer."


Perhaps I need another spelling out:

"No, I am not 'ere."
