Went to the outlet village.Never been to Bicester Village. Bicester Heritage is much more my cup of single malt and I go there quite a lot.
Think I should patent my gardeners glass holder.

Another alternative meaning that I was utterly unaware of...I've just done a few little jobs for an old dear and she's mentioned an issue with a door, which can swing into the back of the door in an adjoining wall - it has already knocked a little flake of paint off where the handle has impacted it. The other side of the damaged door is a small bureau. so I have shown her the sliding stop that supports the drop-down flap and suggested that we get something similar, but rather more substantial, for the errant door, which will prevent it swinging far enough to hit the other door.
Luckily, she is not an internet person, so I have come home before I Googled "door restraint" - I suspect that she may not have the use for some of the equipment that Google has suggested might be suitable...
Great news, was that with the new hairdresser? I'm getting used to mine. It's now a new genuine excuse not to leave the house, 'cos I have to do my hair'....Haircut wasn't a disaster.
Now that would be something, a cider hose.
Yep, it's weird telling a professional how to do bits (the hair on my nape goes mad if not cut really short) but all in all a good experience.Great news, was that with the new hairdresser? I'm getting used to mine. It's now a new genuine excuse not to leave the house, 'cos I have to do my hair'....

I have the late Alan Bean and then I am stuck. I could name at least 10 Fall members though.Another alternative meaning that I was utterly unaware of...
With the recent Gagarin anniversary and the demise of Michael Collins, I realised that I could not come up with the names of even half of the chaps that went to the Moon.
So, I decided to refresh my memory and Googled "apollo crews", hoping for a concise list
I was presented with a picture of a chap wearing a costume that would have been of little use on a Lunar excursion.
Oh good, we have bees in the wall!
I kept seeing them hanging around the underside of the upstairs windowsill (just one or two at time, usually one) and thought there was something attracting them. Today I realised there's a gap between the window frame and the brick which I presume they're going into, as I can hear them right on the other side of the wall.
We've had them on and off for years now, often in different places around the house and garden. Not seen them this year so it might be an off year or I just haven't seen them yet. They never do any harm, never leave a mess and don't come into the house when they've been in a wall. They were in one of our composters last year, they even let us go up to them and a couple of times we took the lid off. So unless you poke them they won't even get defensive. We really enjoy watching them though. My advice is enjoy them while you have them and they'll move along come autumn.To be honest I think we're going to leave them and close up the gap when they leave in the autumn, since they're bumble bees. That seems to be the prevailing advice I've seen online, as they're not (currently) causing a nuisance (I have a thing about bugs in my room so I *never* have that window open anyway) though I'll happily hear any advice to the contrary.
