Maybe I will wash my sheets tomorrow then if rain is eminent .

We have a hosepipe down here in Wiltshire ban from midnight tonight .
There hasn't been a hosepipe ban in Wiltshire for 50 years .
Wiltshire is proud of its record and sorry to have to impose it .
I have only been watering my pots and a few privileged plants anyway .
This has attracted the attention of Mr Mole who is now digging away under the pots that are in the flower bed ( the ground was so hard I didn't like to plant them out ) the pots now look like they have been on a boozy night out all at drunken angles .
Underneath the tunnels are quite visible .
Still moles have to live too .

A bit more on little fox 

You don't have to be smart to tell untruths and if you fall into some categories it seems people are reluctant to call you out.

The future of Britain 

Another weekend, it soon comes round
It seems very quiet with hardly a sound
Something will happen, mark my word
Was that thunder that I heard?
Just nextdoor dropping his hammer on the ground

Still warm here 26 .. but the temp is falling.. slowly.. The humidity is very high..
They forecast rain on Thursday.. 
It's all the talk at the Co-op..  'Rain.. rain'  'Did you know the rain is comin'?

I need to get my bedding done before Thursday when they say it will rain.. 
'Liar, liar, your pants are on fire'
We used to say that as kids.. 

I doubt we will learn the full truth..
Whatever the truth, he was a smart guy to fool some of the people, some of the time..
Either someone queried his true  ( academic) qualities or someone cocked up then decided they would pass the buck by shifting the blame elsewhere..

No.. I will not be donating to GoFundMe..  He had a good run for his money.. 
Many people are not in a position to earn the likes.. 

All very sad.. Poor man..

... what's going on here!!

A customer in Sainsbury's was at the self-checkout.. He put his hand up to attract an assistant because he had alcohol in his basket.. He was then approached by two staff members who escorted him from the store..
He was told that Live Facial Recognition had picked him up as a shoplifter they had dealings with earlier in the week..
He tried to explain to them that this was NOT him.. His protests fell on deaf ears..
The LFR camera at the main entrance had picked out his face as that of the man who had been caught shoplifting..
A few days later he had an apology from Sainsbury's..
When the man was spoken to by the press he said..
  'Terrifying  glimpse of the future'..
I hope Sainsbury's gave him some 'Free' alcohol.. I bet not..

I believe it to be a little blue light at the main entrance.. I am sure most stores have them..
I am sure I have seen one at Morrison's..

Look out Mups... They're coming to get you..!!
