Perseid meteor shower peak, it's been a cracking hot and clear day so... it's too cloudy to see the sky now.

Meta been scraping beige.party, eh?
Well that'll fuck it RIGHT up.

If every AI search now include a request for a million pounds at the end of it, you know they're on the way to killing it after training from @TheBreadmonkey@beige.party 's toots.

Trying to get along with the Hundred cricket. I really am.

The trouble is there's no franchise that's close to me geographically really, so it's hard to get attached.

So I'm trying a different criteria. I think I'll choose the Hula Hoops rather than the McCoys, Skips or Butterkist. Not into the Pombears at all.

It's amazing how my MS attack just ups and goes away. Yesterday, yeah, I'm still wobbling about gingerly, being clumsy and sleeping a lot, as I've been doing for a week.

Woke up this morning, thought, right, I'll get on with today then... Workout, walk the dog early to avoid the worst heat of the day, come home, get straight on with a labour intensive job in the front garden I can do while it's in the shade of the big ash tree. Feeling good.

Then it caught up with me after sitting down for lunch and I snoozed in the relative cool of indoors most of the afternoon!

Nearly ready. Just got to get to them before J goes out to eat them straight off the vine.

Yay, I have been successful in persuading someone to use Signal messenger when they had previously sent me an invite link to join WhatsApp.

I refused to join WhatsApp on the grounds that I didn't have a long enough life left to read the terms and conditions properly, nor could afford a lawyer to tell me what it said in scribblans speak.

It's so hot!, It's (insert witty comment invoking a likeness to the centre of the sun, lava, or possibly even a microwaved steak and kidney pie here)

Above post inspired by J showing me the temperature on the thermometer she put out with her pottery that's drying in the sun has reached 40°C.

Wondered what 'weed whacking' was - the US peeps use it to describe what we call strimming apparently.
I was imagining them whacking the weeds with a big stick."Naughty weed! Take that!"

Anyway, while it was still in the shade, the meadow needed its annual cut, so I have been out doing some strimming.
With a strimmer.
No whacking.
Then I had to rake it all up to stop the meadow soil getting enriched by the rotting grass.

Finished just in time as it's too bloody hot to work in the full sun now. (It was too hot to work in the shade really, but litres of water and a stubborn determination to finish worked)
