Good morning fellow Mastos and hello Wednesday. Believe it or not, it's not raining! Shock horror! Don't worry though, it will be later.

MrsD and Wesley went out for his pre-bedtime wander last night. They had literally just opened the door when they got home, and the heavens opened big time. A lucky escape.

Hopefully the weather won't spoil your day. Have a good one, have fun, stay safe.

Today's random photo is from January 2022 on the Leeds Liverpool Canal and shows an ice rainbow.

@Steampunk_Prof A boss from a past life, who was Welsh, taught me that one!

@Steampunk_Prof Nah. The Alexa answer is useful, an MP, not so much!

Me: Alexa, Open the pod bay doors.
Alexa: I'm sorry Dave, I can't do that! I'm not HAL and we are not in space!

Brilliant. Absolutely brilliant.

Me: Hey Google, open the pod bay doors.

Google: I can't do that, but there's a spare key under the pod bay airlock. You can let yourself in.

I'm delighted by her answer.

Good morning fellow Mastos and hello Tuesday which, due to the bank holiday, is currently acting as a Monday, being the first working day of the week. And it's still raining, even though the bank holiday is over.

Have a grand day regardless. Make sure you have fun and don't forget to laugh a lot. Take care.

Today's random photo is from 22nd February 2012. It's a female Common Frog heading through the garden to meet up with the boys in the pond. 😉

Good morning to you MrD.

We managed to squeeze the last drops of sunshine out of the bank holiday before the rain, came with the children on the water slide before tea.

Have a good day, especially now your plumbing issue is behind you.

@Steampunk_Prof Today's tasks is housework! At least it's not sunny. That would be a waste. 😉

Good morning fellow Mastos and hello to another bank holiday Monday. Looks like the weather is back on form for today, it's raining! No surprises there then.

Yesterday's bath leak fixing job seems to have been a success! MrsD and I shared a bath last night (TMI?) and there were no leaks during bath time or afterwards when the plug came out! 👍

Enjoy your BH Monday, or just your Monday as appropriate. Have fun, take care.

Today's photo is from yesterday. It's a Garden Snail on a wet tree stump.

@skyfire747 Afternoon Anthony. Glad to hear it's not raining. We might get less rain this afternoon according to the forecast, so we shall see.

Have a very pleasant afternoon and evening.

@Steampunk_Prof Good pun!

Enjoy your trip to Weymouth. MrsD and I went there a few years back. If I remember correctly, we had coffee and cake in an outdoor café down by the corner of the harbour/marina.

Those damned teatime dishes are still not washing themselves! Looks like I'm going to have to do them, again!

Good morning fellow Mastos and hello Sunday. A day of rest? Not for me. We are seeing Saint David this morning and walking Wesley. Then, later, I'm going under the bath! As our house has been sold, it is now rebelling against us. The bath is leaking! Also the new boiler but that the plumber's problem!

I have to work in the space beneath the bath in image 1, while attempting to fix a leak from the plug at the far end of image 2. I may be gone some time!

Have a great day, with lots of fun.

NormanDunbar,
@NormanDunbar@mastodon.scot avatar

So, progress. I filled the bath this AM and noted where exactly the leak was coming from. Drip. Drip. Drip. No longer a flood as before but repair attempt 1 had obviously not been a success.

This PM, I managed to strip it all out and redo it with another new O ring. A quick test and it's looking good. Well know for sure after bath time tonight.

Fingers crossed, like my eyes!

When my two very large American Bullfrogs died, at a great age, I had their skins tanned and made into a pair of open toad sandals.

I observe, yet again, that the tea time dishes are not washing themselves. Bugger!

@NormanDunbar Yep its weird, up until I moved out of my parents my dishes and cups washed themselves, This house just hasn't got the message, in over 30 years.

What Australian monotreme do you have if you find a mangy old alley cat, in your garden, eating a mallard? A duck filled tatty puss.

@NormanDunbar that's so bad, I might need to borrow that.

Good morning fellow Mastos and hello to the weekend. Yes I deed, it's Saturday. Unless I'm a day out somewhere again! The sun is currently shining, MrsD is hungover after a night out with the girls, Wesley is still asleep. A good start!!! 😃

Have a great Saturday. Have fun. Tell bad, dad jokes. Laugh a lot. Take care.

I didn't have my glasses on last night when I took this photo at our local Halfords tyre shop. It's Red Clover, but the photo looks almost AI generated. It's not!

NormanDunbar,
@NormanDunbar@mastodon.scot avatar

Regarding the photo. It's not AI at all! I checked on a bigger screen, it's partially out of focus! Like my eyes. 😐

Two sections of black tarmac were in the pub having a chat. A red section of tramac walked in. The bar went quiet.

One of the black bits turned to the other and said “Do not say anything to him, he will kill you"!

The other replied “Why"?

“Because he’s a cycle-path!” 😉

The god Thor was feeling horny and popped down to Earth to have his way. He met a woman and they headed off to bed for a night of passion.

Then had rampant sex for the whole night. Never in her life had she had such truly wonderful sex. Who was this strong man who seemed to be able to satisfy her time and time again?

In the morning, Thor realised that he hadn't told her his name. "I'm Thor", he told her. She replied "Tho am I but it wath worth it"! 😉

Good morning fellow Mastos and hello Friday. Not long to go to the weekend plus, there's another bank holiday on Monday. Why do banks need so many holidays I wonder?

According to the forecast, the weather is doing the "wrong" thing and is actually getting better in time for the holiday. We truly have broken the climate if this is the case! 😉

Have a belter of a Friday. Have fun, whatever you do, lots of laughter and stay safe.

Today's photo is dedicated to @MaJ1 & @weirdfolks See ALT text.

@NormanDunbar @MaJ1 @weirdfolks well strictly speaking bank holidays are for banks and public holidays are for the general public. But since in England they didn’t seem to have any public holidays they took bank holidays, and now the anglicisation has crept all over Scotland.
This has been compounded by the loss of Town and County Councils which used to set the public holidays for each local area.
So much has been lost; many local festivals, and now a generation don’t know what a county is.

We still have Hogmany and the second of January though, because we know how to have a proper hangover! 😉
