2017 looks like being a bad year for Og's extended family.

So sorry, Ogg

You all work so hard, none of your family deserve this.

Does anyone know how 'colour temperature' is Measured ?
I've got the charts and all that, but I really would like to know HOW it's actually measured (Not "with what"), but the theory of measurement of colour.

Google does not understand the word "Measure". All I got was loads of repeated charts and an advert for an expensive bit of kit.

Thanks, HP. Local newspaper reports that the company is up for sale.

Blurt - Blast the North wind. Part of the trim around our North facing bay window has come adrift and was flapping in the breeze. I've been outside, teetering on a step ladder to fix it on with duct tape until I can contact the window company tomorrow. My hands are still cold. There's nothing to stop the wind between my house and the Arctic Circle.

Good luck with the tape.

Good luck with the tape.

It's only got to hold for about 18 hours...

Pray for calm weather, then . . . . .

You're joking! The wind is 50 mph and gusting more.

OK, pray for more temperate time ?
Good Luck, anyway

Local grandchildren are panicking. The McDonalds outlet has closed for six weeks for a refit. Every Monday after swimming they have Happy Meals.

Granddad to the rescue. I am driving a round trip of 14 miles to the next big M.

My goodness, what primitive country has fourteen miles between its McDonalds? I shudder to think that you might not encounter more than three Starbucks in that drive.

Seven miles there; seven miles back.

Every other parent and grandparent seemed to have the same idea. The drive thru took ten minutes to get to the order point and another ten minutes for the food to be delivered.

At least I got the order right. Grandchildren wouldn't have forgiven me if I had brought the wrong items.

I have three towns within 10 miles or so. All has a McD somewhere (even if one of them as a Parking Problem), so betting a Burger is not an easy task round here !

Thank you, Ogg. He's a good guy, I just have to figure out how to get through to him.

Ta.
I hope my loft is drying out. We had to fix the pipe last night; it was dripping - again!

We don't have any fast-food places in my town. If you want a burger, a pizza, or a fancy coffee, you go about 15 miles each way to get it.

Amen. But we do have 'chippy' almost on the doorstep.
