    Again very little rain here, just 1.5mm since noon yesterday but it is a damp misty day.

    Actually it has started raining now but it's not heavy, going to get windy again tomorrow. Forecast for next week is better with just a few showers, Monday and Tuesday and then sunny after that.

    Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    "You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”

    “There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

    Yes after 4 inches of rain in one week, I know what you mean, at least we have been spared most of the rain that fell yesterday and last night. Mind you we had no rain for 20 days before that, thats the way the weather is these days.

    Just had a 20 min break in the deluge, just long enough to walk the mutt around the block. Pissing down again now!

    Yup, same here. Nice and cosy though with the wood burner lit, and dark days like this are perfect for watching movies, so we'll be doing that!

    Del was meant to be having a girly night in/sleepover with two of her friends, but they've caught a stomach bug going round the college they work in, so that's been called off. Can't say I'm too disappointed, as I'd been 'instructed' lol, to go round to my dad's! Think the girlies wanted to be able to wander around in their undies without 'preying eyes'

    Anyway, the weather's forecast to be shitty (same tomorrow), until Wednesday, where it clears up a bit, then back to the pish....

    In Scotland, does that also include those in your 'bubble' - or perhaps you haven't created one?

    In Scotland you cannot visit another house, unless for child minding or if you are providing care of some sort. Basically we cannot visit my son, daughter in law and grandson but I can visit my mum, as we help look after her.
