    We were digging through our vinyl collection over Xmas and enjoyed playing our Ivor Cutler selection. It must have been John Peel that introduced most of us to his work, wonderfully surreal stuff.

    Morning all,

    Looks a bit dank and murky out there at the moment but it matters little as I'm stuck inside all day anyway.

    Whilst my 'expected' hours are 8am-7pm, I can flit in and out as I'm working from home. I've been at my laptop at some strange times during the last couple of months but, as long as the work gets done, everyone is happy. However, does that justify somebody ringing me at 9.30pm with the most trivial, unimportant question ever? I feel like I'm on call 24-7 o To make matters worse, I happened to be watching a game on Sky that I was quite interested in. Just send me an e-mail, you %*&$!!!

    Apologies folks - somebody got out of the wrong side this morning

    Hello everyone.  Another very hot day today, so I’m glad that it’s cooling off a bit now at 7pm.  
    For tea tonight we finished off the Frittata that we started yesterday. It makes such a difference having my own fresh herbs to add to it. 

    Hope everyone is well. Obelixx, another page turned in your life. 🤭. I hope you can move on ok.

    Good to see you @Pat E
    love frittata 😋. Think tonight’s supper will be a mushroom risotto, followed by poached greengages and yoghurt. 

    @Biglad that is totally out of order ... I would not be at all happy ... do you have a ‘sleep’ Do Not Disturb option on your phone?  I would have that switched on after 8pm
    I’m would think ACAS have some guidance on that.

    Possibly @Dovefromabove but I'd have to get a non-dinosaur to show me ;) 

    Maybe I should have, "**** off - footy's on" as my voice mail message? :)

  • Very wet start here too, I think the whole country is getting the same.  I saw a programme on Ivor Cutler sometime before Christmas I wonder if it was the same one, as there are a lot of repeats on at the moment. 
    Got to the Allotment yesterday but it's looking unlikely today.  SM delivery due between 9&10 looking like the biggest event of the day 🤨

    Or just the first part of that message @Biglad... ;)
    Morning all/afties @Pat E. Glad you're cooling down a bit now. 
    I forgot to look in here yesterday - I've just realised.
    Difficult @Obelixx. A very mixed bag of emotions for you to deal with. The barn cost doesn't sound much easier either. Always the way.  :/
    Glad your daughter is safe and warm @Lizzie27.
    I was never an Ivor Cutler fan, but I thought some of you might see that. JW had a lovely prog on Sunday - Bowie tribute. Hard to believe it's five years. 
    Sleety rain and icy here today after a frosty one yesterday. Not quite as chilly last night though. It's just about up to zero now. Very odd swings of temp recently. Ground is still frozen solid. 
    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

    Come on @Biglad if I can do it any numpty can ... is yours an iPhone or ...?

    I'd need some serious tech training to progress to 'numpty' level, d-fab ;)

    It's a new device that was forced on me recently. I'm able to call folk, answer calls, text, take photos and turn the torch on. That's everything it does, right?

     :D  Classic @Fairygirl

    Dove,I love risotto as well, but I have to be careful of mushrooms (they’re full of MSG).
    Good to see you all. Fairy, I hope you can defrost.
