The boring thread.....

There's a Surfing competition on tomorrow and we're going to the Reef to watch.

Don't get many of those around here 

Council used to sponsor something called Dragon boats which was pretty much a load of home made rafts on the river. No money for anything like that these days.

Will be taking the big zoom camera so hopefully some good pic to post later.

James Martin was good.  Worth going to see his tour if you get a chance.

I had hoped to ask him about the wisdom of leaving raw beef out of the fridge for a day or so before cooking it, but didn't get the chance.😬

Heading to the Reef shortly to watch the surfing competition. Weather's ok for it too, so that's a bonus.

I used to love watching the surfing when I lived in Australia.. 
I envy you Raven....

Another sunny day here.. Might do a bit in the garden..

The camera is all charged up including the spare battery. I'll post the best ones tomorrow. Won't have time tonight we're meeting friends for dinner.
If the phone signal is ok I'll try and post a couple while we're at the Reef.

Had my first coffee in the garden this morning, lovely and sunny and a white frosty lawn.

Where has my bed sock gone..?
 I found one of them down the bed  but the other has disappeared ..
I have searched under and in the bed.. Laundry basket.. Pyjama legs... 
 
If you find a pink soft bed sock in your bed.. It is mine...

Scrumpy,  you're not gonna believe this,  but a few days ago one of my bedsocks went missing too  -   and what's more,  mine was a pink one too.

I hope the little monkeys haven't gone off together to make a couple . . .

Weirdly, I've now got a mismatched pair of bed socks.😬

I wonder if there is some kind of bed sock Revolution going on that we didn't know about . . .

Or I heard a whisper today, some are joining a new Club for singles.

I have this problem with teaspoons

Can't wait for the punchline.

Most socks are anti social and will often try to escape when they are separated from their twin sock  
Scientists have produced a mathematical equation about sock loss in the average two bedroomed family home. 
The "Sock Loss Index" can answer this question of sock loss.
According to this formula, factors such as your personal attitude towards washing play a role, as does the amount of textiles that need to be washed. With the "Sock Loss Calculator" you can easily calculate for yourself how many socks you will lose in the future. The formula is

(L(p x f) + C(t x s)) - (P x A)

• «L" stands for the amount of laundry (number of household members x number of washes per week).
• «C" describes the complexity of the laundry (different types of laundry [e.g. white, black] x number of socks washed per week).
• «P" indicates the positive attitudethat you have towards washing (from "I don't like doing laundry at all" to "I'd rather do nothing!").
• «A" stands for the attentionthat you pay to your laundry. This includes small checks such as checking trouser pockets or rolling out socks.

Calculate your sock loss now! Do you lose more socks than the average person?
