Us Scots are more caring about others - well, most of us are. There are a few who dress up in orange sashes and march around singing songs about being up to their knees in Fenian blood, and worshipping a gay Dutch king of England from 330 years ago for some strange reason.
My old mobile phone is on its last legs. Will not respond to my prodding, and the battery goes from full to empty overnight. So I have ordered a new one, and starting to wonder where the SIM card is in the old one. I must have an instruction booklet somewhere, but just where?
There should either be a removable slot with a small hole in it on the side of the phone, or it's by the battery inside (depends on the phone model).
35°C is too hot to do much outside, so I think our dustmen had a late start. Mme tells me they woke her up at gone midnight. No hearing aids in, so I heard nothing.
Our binmen go in early in hot weather... I missed the food bin last week and, to say the least, it has been absolutely minging since! Any numpty that reckons fortnightly food bin collections ought to be a thing need their heads testing!
Orange warning is in place for very hot temperatures. We actually hit 40°C this afternoon, so went to the supermarket, where the aircon was working overtime. Many others had the same idea, so it was anything but quiet. Similar expected tomorrow.
Greetings all from Bulgaria. WiFi a bit intermittent likely due to folks streaming a film, having been told not to. A very warm 35 today in Pleven.
And greetings from Bucharest, where it's a ridiculous 38°! And the water levels are too low to risk our journey to the Black Sea. Irritating but nothing we can do about it. I think we're trying to get back the other side of Iron Gate 2 [a lock] and deeper water. One boat has already run aground further downstream so we're on Plan B, if not Plans C, D, and E! Disappointed because it was the Delta and Wet Lands that were the main reason for choosing this trip.
We have done a similar trip..been through those gates..and got to the wetlands ...where I saw my first little bittern... we had low water too...but we did manage the trip.
Evening all, Doubt we'll ever get back to Bulgaria but we've absolutely loved the place! Would consider a pool-side holiday here with excursions if the price is right! Back into Romania. Apparently we'll get an extra day in Budapest, which, by all accounts is no bad thing. Possibly Serbia, certainly Croatia on the way back, and Hungarian wetlands before then. Spectacular thunderstorm tonight!
Rainy season has certainly come with a bump here, 4 named storms on the pacific coast already. Erick brought a LOT of rain up to the state of Guanajuato / Jalisco where we are based. So nice as the heat was getting unbearable, anything about 30 is too much for this whitey! Got my 10-year anniversary coming up, not sure what to get the Mrs. 4th July was our Church wedding so this one is hers. Mine was the date we went up 2nd, well that's how I remember it, that was the Civil one. Have a good weekend y'all. Off to smash some Pool in a bit, can't wait!
