Flat sheets are easy, just hold the corners.  Fitted sheets don't have corners as such. I sort of roll them? Bedding is on the line, lovely drying day.  I'll get it in and fold it (😂😂) then I'm off to the pool for a class!

Quote from: Scrumpy on June 15, 2026, 03:51:24 PMToday I cut one side of my hedge.. I took the safety cover off the blade and threw it over the hedge back into my garden..  I never did find it again.. I heard it land..
It didn't go into the bin with hedge cuttings.. the cuttings were picked up from the pavement..
14 inches long.. gone in a flash.. All bushes and surrounding areas searched.. again and again..
14 pounds later a new one will arrive tomorrow..
It will turn up as soon as your new one arrives.   :smiley:

A few drops of rain this morning here.  Not sure if there were 3 or 4 drops.   :smiley:

A busy day today.    

GP's first thing  (bloomin'  8.30),  followed by Audiology at 12.   My second pair of hearing aids had konked out.   The audiologist said he is getting lots of patients having problems with this type of aid.
Surely something is wrong then?   Shoddy workmanship?
This is the third pair now,  so fingers crossed these ones work better.  

Just been ordering a couple of things of Amazon,  now I am getting nudged from my four-legged friends to hurry up and get their tea!

Elsie suddenly needed a wee
She she cautiously nipped behind a tree
But as she bent down
She yelled the park down
As she got stung on the bum by a Bee!

I've often commented on the portal to other dimensions here. You clearly have one too. If it's anything like the one here your missing cover will be spat out into our universe eventually. It could be later today or much much later. The pottal moves in mysterious ways.
