    Planted half a row of beetroot seedlings at the allotment. Without netting!

    Actually I might have to go down and check on them before anyone else gets up. Made myself nervous with that reckless post a minute ago.

    This thread is MM. Why does it exist?

    This fear is not mundane! It is life or death (for the beetroot).

    Why are you asking if you already know?
    And if you really want to know, I teach advanced studies, so technically I invigilate exams. (The International Baccalaureate is based in Cardiff.)

    I didn't.

    Because it isn't. It's the bronco fucking cousin to the slow comfortable screw of the mundane.

    This is the kind of material we’re after. Good work.

    Why would you net beetroot? It's about the easiest thing to grow because it's so grim not even the insects will eat it. See also: Radish.

    Love radish. Love beetroot.

    In on the edge news, I've replaced the living room old analogue thermostat with a smart WiFi one. Wiring it up was not obvious, but I'm trusting the internet people and so far the house hasn't burnt down, and the heating turns on and off when it's supposed to. If you read in the news tomorrow "family of four killed in house fire in mid-Wales", you know what's happened.

    *obviously, we don't have the heating on in May, bought at this time so I have six months to fix it if it goes wrong, then turned heating on for testing purposes only.

    I've been to Wales. This was not obvious.

    Carpet shampooer was pissing out water and unsurprisingly tripped out the electrics. Switched everything back on to check it was fucked, it was.

    Swearing in a way that is considered offensive. Well duh!

    Chicago: Potty mouth.
