Good morning 
happy Monday, happy fresh new week 
we’re counting down to the bank holiday weekend, hurrah!
What are you all doing today?
El Loro posted:Two downpours in the last few minutes here, No rain showing on the very local weather site so either it's not working or the downpours are extremely localised (the weather site is less than a mile away).
Hi El 
We have had one light shower and one heavy shower. I caught them both 
Re my posting about Steve Smith not wearing a neck guard. It's not mandatory but it's likely that there will be pressure for it to become mandatory - another Australian player died back in 2014 as a result of being hit on the neck in a match so this isn't something new.
Evening all.
Sorry you got caught in the showers, Moonie
It has been a mix of sunshine and showers up here.
Summer, I was out and about with MrY today - nowhere exciting
I hope you’ve all had a good day

Hi Yogi
Would you you believe the only two significant showers of the day?
I hope you and Mr Y enjoyed our ‘out and about’

I would believe it, Moonie
Goodnight and sweet dreams, Moonie and Ros
Hug for the night owls
night yogi and moons summer if you pop in
Good morning everyone, a fine morning after a very showery day yesterday. Moonie I hope you didn't get too wet.
Enjoy your day everyone
Good morning everyone
Fair weather here and likely to svoid any of yesterday's downpours.
The world's largest computer chip is being developed.

Far too large for ordinary computers, it will have 400,000 cores. My computer has 4
I hope everyone has a good day
Moonie posted:El Loro posted:Moonie, I think the two downpours here yesterday were very localised as they din't register on the local weather recording site which is about a mile away. At least they lasted only a few minutes.
The shower here didn’t last long either El
I thought that might be the case 
ITV showing another Midsomer Murders on Bank Holiday Monday starting at the saem time as the very last episode of Poldark. Odd timing for ITV to do that. That episode and 2 others which have been made but not yet shown in this country have already been shown in Norway, Belgium and Italy last year. Looks as if ITV are giving Midsomer Murders low priority. IMDB show that there's another 4 episodes being made yet to be shown anywhere so presumably ITV isn't axing it - yet.
NASA confirms that they will work on a spacecraft to visit the icy ocean moon Europa (which orbits Jupiter):

Long speculated that there could be some form of life there.
Moonie posted:El Loro posted:Confirmed that Steve Smith has been ruled out of the third test which starts on Thursday due to the delayed concussion. I think he'll be back for the last two tests but the third one is too soon.
Does this mean we may have a chance of a win then El?
Possibly, but hardly the way England would want to.
Evening all
Mostly sunny spells today.
No tiddler minding as son was day off but I may have them on Friday instead.
Smart meters were fitted, with no problems....so far.
Hope you’ve all had a good day
Goodnight and sweet dreams, Ros
Hug for any night owls
Good morning everyone it's a bit brighter this morning, not sure whether we're due any rain today. Sneaky showers that come out of nowhere seem to be the modus operandi at the moment.
Enjoy your day everyone
Moonie, no need to apoogise, I didn't return either
Jusr finished cutting the hedge at the front as it had become overgrown. Didn't want to leave it any longer as it's forecast to get on the hot side after tomorrow. At least brushing up the cuttings on the pavement was easier than previously as a result of the resurfacing,
The cryptic notice for my road is still on Severn Trent's map and I've still no idea what it's about.
A viilage bus stop has been made into a cosy sitting room:

Nice one El 
I wonder why they are being so cryptic?
They know what the problem is so why not share it with its customers?

I hope the council will let it be at least until the autumn rains come I don't think it's vandalism as that's wanton destruction and nothing's been damaged

Having just reread the article El, it says “legally it’s an act of vandalism, even if it’s very nice vandalism”

I think the likelyhood of the CPS deciding to prosecute is near non-existent. If you read the first two paragraphs under "Meaning of Damage" on their approach:

I don't see that there is any permanent of temporary impairment of value or usefulness to the bus stop

And now a literay poser. Here's a short list of partial titles of novels. They exclude the part of the title which would give it away. The dots just show there's a missing section and don't indicate how long that section is
"The Posthumous Papers...."
"....or the Parish Boy's Progress"
".... A Tale of the Riots of 'Eighty"
"...................the Younger of Blunderstone Rookery"
"....for These Times"
Who wrote these novels?
