Before you know it you'll be reverse mortgaging for a second floor extension and then cat will be asking for help to get down.

I just use paper towel (2-3 layers) in a colander over a bowl. Slowly drips through. Seems to work and not much mess.

Super deep sleep last night.

Also didn't get any afterdrop after the swim last night. Puts monocle on... One theory is that afterdrop happens when your core tries to continue to warm up peripherals (due to peripheral vasoconstriction from the cold).

So the experiment is what happens if you dilate them blood tubes with chilli before jumping in. Body wants to restrict blood to limbs but can't, so core temp drops more quickly, but that activates the trusty brown fat (BAT). The idea is to see if chilli can reduce the symptoms of mild hypothermia (mainly shivering and lethargy) by inducing it before jumping in.

Seems counter-intuitive af BUT not the first person to think of it

"Capsaicinoids have another advantage in that they could be administered to patients in the field as an initial response or could even be used in combination with physical cooling methods to reduce the need for sedatives and muscle relaxants and create a stable, more controllable hypothermia in people."

Thank you for reading my pseudo probably incorrect scientific report.

Get them to do the washing up, sit there silence judging them :) With your eyes "that's not where that goes".

A pigeon pie pls.

I will never forgive the pigeon that stole my whopper junior (with cheese) at fed square at 3am many moons ago. I wasn't in the best state so it wasn't a fair fight.

The resident magpie down here takes them out for sport which I fully support.

Handrail done!

Have to say I am fond of squabbling with the old man about how to go about the DIY stuff. There's never any love lost but it is hilarious when there's disagreement.

Sort of a pseudo argument. You can be both right but wrong. You agree to disagree, then disagree on agreeing to finally agree to agree, but deep down you disagree.

I guess that's bonding.

Edit: Aand the rail in question. Bad bwoy be 970mm for dayz which is to code solid as. No one be fallin down them steps fank you very much.

Installing a little outdoor handrail for the p's today. Just 5 steps.

Safe to say I have no idea what I'm doing.

I have watched the youchoobs though so with any luck they won't fall down.
