Awful nights sleep, too hot!!!
It's much cooler outside this morning, but still swelteringly hot inside!!
I'm sat at the kitchen table eating my breakfast, Alpen this morning, with the back door open, it's much nicer, as it's cooler!!!

Never mind, at least he's in the shade in his nice cool machine shop at wemakeplanebits.com.
And he's got a nice programme to listen to, too.

"It's hot fool, i told you. Were you born on the sun? It's damn hot!! It's so damn hot, i saw one of those little guys, their orange robes, burst into flames, it's that damn hot!!!"
Uh-oh!Now Bobbers has started elucidating!
Would some kind person please chuck a bucket of cold water over 'im?
No, not that bucket!
That's the one full of petrol.Bomma! Put that fag out!!!
Do you know what I'd like to do?
You know the old saying "there's always somebody worse off than you"?
Well just once I'd like to meet him/her. Just to make me feel better.
My VAT-related hell was made worse yesterday by a 45-minute phone call, most of which was spent listening to crap music, the rest of which was spent telling the person on the "helpdesk" that no, I wasn't going to let them "migrate" our accounts on to the new "cloud" based system they flogged us, as our existing accounts programme wasn't compatible with the Gummint's "Making Tax Digital" system using 31 March as the changeover date, which would have meant re-inputting every transaction since 1 April.
Every. Single. Transaction.
I was quite proud of the level of restraint which I managed to exhibit. They're going to go away and think of an alternative means by which we can "migrate". One which doesn't involve me having to do the last three and a bit months' work all over again.
Bobbers doesn't know when he's well off.

I feel your pain Dermot O', the helpdesk operators are often not that helpful!!! M&S recently forced me to change banks as they decided to shut all the branches and do away with accounts, so i moved to Metro Bank, it all went smoothly, apart from my loan repayment to M&S bank which didn't get payed, despite being moved and set up in plenty of time, cue me sat there last night for about twenty minutes getting passed from pillar to post so i could make the payment!!! 
Howdy Cowboys!
The hay is in! We've had a kind of warm mistral breeze here for about 4 days and it's dried the hay nice n quick and it's now all "barned"
Milk was fetched early doors and the lovley Marie tells me her sons wife is in hospital having thier second grandchild. Lots of glee going on.
The ride on has been put back together and undergone trials with sucsess! I removed the rear collection box and made a grass deflection plate so it just spreads out onto the ground. I may have to now lend it back to Mad Carol to get thier lawns cut as the new John Deere hasn't arrived yet!
Madam M has new hand dressings and a physio visit this morning.
Hot today,hotter tomorrow and Thursday,rain forcast Friday. Perfect.

AC428 for me, please.Dogmatic?
Oh, all right, I'll take a Maserati Mistral if it's an emergency.
ION, despite the heat I'm still drinking oodles of tea at work, there's probably a Railway Bylaw about it somewhere in the rule book!

I'm WFH today, but it's so hot I'm having the afternoon off.
Storms forecast later, the first couple of them are just starting to brew on the radar.
I didn’t realise you lived in Brew on the Radar. Lovely little town, I often stop there when driving through the Cotswolds, the little tearoom on the High St is lovely. Storms forecast later, the first couple of them are just starting to brew on the radar.
Keep ‘Brew Up’ in Brew on the Radar on your radar!

For the uninitiated. Maserati above, AC Cobra-in-a-frock beneath
Styling houses sold designs and car companies interpreted them. Easy.
