Oh FFS

Yahoo Mail now have one of those "spam prevention" things (you have to enter a code) every time you send a mail. Grrrr. I think I'm going to move to gmail full time soon. :o(

ETA: Only seems to have been the case for the first two mails I sent today. Phew.

Excellent!

The next England match is Sunday afternoon which will mean empty roads on our way back from Harrogate. :o)

Charging...

I currently have three things charging: A set of AA batteries, a camera battery and my mp3 player for the journey tomorrow. *shakes head*

I also made a lovely stirfry from my vegbox: Green peppers, carrots, spring greens and onions, organic (supermarket) garlic and fried in organic ground nut oil, only the  white pepper wasn't organic, even the soy sauce was.



( Bigger )

nannyo, I have tiny new potatoes for potato salad as well as leftover carrots. Will also bring the salad pack. Do you want onions, too? I can spare two or three.

Now, on with stuff.

Things that annoy me in the UK #383: petrol stations

No or only very few petrol stations have buckets with (soapy) water, a sponge and a squeegee for cleaning the windscreen. In Germany, every petrol station has them, several of them, usual one between every two pumps. It might even be a legal requirement as an insect-encrusted or be-birdshat windscreen is a safety hazard.

Also, on the continent, you can lock the pumping lever on the nozzle in position so while your tank is filling up, you can clean your windscreen, check the tyre pressure etc. It automatically unlocks when the pump stops when the fuel level reaches the nozzle. Here, you not only have to keep the lever pressed but also breathe in the fumes (in most other EU countries you have a system that catches the fumes (it sits flush on the tank) and pumps them back into the storage tank.

Photo feed

After investigating for nurse_liz how to set up an RSS feed on LJ, I tested the system and set one up for my flickr photostream:

Beware, I often post a whole set of photos at once, so that might swamp your friends page!
