Well hello fellow caffeine addicts.
I'll have a black coffee please, no cake, I have to do something about my expanding waistline.
Not much new in rural Wales, the 'highlight' of my week was dropping a pair of secateurs on my foot, and leaving a trail of bloody footprints all over the house Saturday night.
I spent Sunday and Yesterday in bed with my foot bandaged and raised. Today, as Heidi managed to book a slot at the recycling centre, I've got to try my foot out and see how it goes.
Oh what an interesting life I lead.

Got up did the full exercise routine.
Popped to canary wharf to get some bits for a barbecue.
Friend of mine is popping round tonight with his son before they head back to Bordeaux.
Got a take out soya cap from Prets with a free bag of crisps (not eaten) and had that with an almond croissant from waitrose.
My partner has thrown herself into gardening during lockdown and the loss of her mother and both the front and back look great.
Sorry veyguns chick and fish marinading in the fridge.
Put some tunes on and the dam amps flitting about - now looking for a repair person.
Breaking my Mon - Fri no alcohol discipline (maybe some champs) supported by some non alcoholic Brooklyn lager which is surprisingly good.
Sorry Ale drinkers.
Front garden, spot the sweetcorn x 4
Have a Cool Scorcher Y'all

I wouldn't recommend recycling your foot, you might need it in the future.

Nice one @Nataly , I'll have a cappuccino and coffee cake if you are buying 
Worked from home 8.30 til 1pm, finished a bit early today.
Then we went for a socially distanced visit to our daughter, her hubby and two grandchildren. Son-in-law went to the local pub and got a takeaway meal which we had pre ordered and we all sat in the garden in the sunshine. It was lovely. Only the second time we've seen them since the beginning of March.
Came back home and took part in a virtual murder trial as jury members, it's a 7 part series that you sign up to. It was something different to do.
Hope you've all had a good day, time for sleep now.

Cheers everyone, so Nataly is moonlighting as a Barista . However for me, it’s going to be a quick Long Black as we’re still cleaning up from a flood last Thursday 
. Water came from a direction we’ve never seen before so that’s being investigated- we’re fine, all healthy and a lot worse things could happen. It’s just a big big disruption & headache when you can’t source equipment/tradesmen etc due to Covid.
Anyway, Cheers fellow coffee lovers🥰
PS - Does anyone know what the % moisture reading should be for oak flooring & screed flooring? I’ve read that normally wood should read 9-11% (I have purchased a damp meter to monitor the drying process).

Seems crazy when we're in the middle of a heatwave too.
I'm not sure about the % moisture reading, hopefully the hot weather at the moment will help speed up the process though.
Today's coffee (currently being drunk!) is for
Meanwhile over here, the cat has managed to chase down a bumblebee in the kitchen, which my dad is now trying to nurse back to health with some sugar water...

Ouch, sorry to hear that David - hope there's no major damage.
Today's installment in 'the wonderful world of Mark' - Bluebell, little darling that he is, decided he needed to 'impress' mommy and daddy, and brought us a vole - on the bright side, so far he's not decided to repeat the time he came in with a live magpie.

Sorry to hear of your woze
There are a huge range of figures quoted for Oak anywhere from 5-8% up to 20%!
I think it will be reasonably obvious if it’s drying but doesn’t the measurement depend on the RH?

Are chips gluten free as long as they are fried in gluten free oil and not fried along with anything else?
I can't, I'm gluten free :(

Hi woz, like your humour
- humidity is a factor and drying out the oak to quickly is a danger so we are proceeding quietly. The warm weather is helping the natural drying process and I am watching the oak flooring movement carefully. Thankfully, the electrics were untouched so a big plus. Thanks for the %’s. Time for a late coffee 🤪🤪

hi David
interestingly when I first replied I wrote that it should be dried slowly to avoid differential humidity and thus warpage, then I read somewhere that drying as fast as possible was preferential, so at that point I decided to delete my reply as I have no idea what's correct.
I found THIS though.
good luck, heavy rain expected at end of week?
