Rained overnight which is a bit annoying as I’ve lots of stuff in the back garden to load in the car to take to the tip. Don’t think rain was forecast but that comes as no surprise. Should be a warm enough day ahead so things should dry out.
Can’t complain. We need rain. The lawn is brown in parts. Found the sprinkler when clearing out the potting shed yesterday but might not need it now. Not today anyway.
I’m up early again. I go to bed early. One leads to another. Not sure which. Could be either. It is my turn to make the tea so up early is good.
Some interesting sports on at the Olympics today. The usual athletics, sailing and canoeing but also speed climbing and graeco roman wrestling. Not sure either of those two do it for me. Speed climbing sounds unnecessarily dangerous and the wrestling makes me think of the movie “Airplane”. A lot of other sports on too.
I can’t for some reason get Discovery + to cast to the telly. There’s nowt wrong with the chromecast or the computah as casting other tabs works. It must be something specifically related to the Olympics broadcast. Feels strange to think they have somehow blocked the casting of the Olympics when the Discovery + site itself gives tips on how to cast.
Maybe it will just work today. I’ll also try it from my laptop and on the telly in the TV room though that is no use to me during the day as it’s been on in the shed and I’ve popped in every now and again to watch in between jobs.

There are more jobs to be getting on with this morning. The continuation of the garage tidy up and fixing the flippin curtain rail in our bedroom. This one appears on the list every year or three. The issue is screwing into the ceiling above the bay window. It’ll get sorted, again.
Last night was quite revealing at the Olympics. The Swedish pole vaulter won easily and broke both Olympic and world records. He was already the world record holder. He added a centimetre to the height of his previous record and appeared to clear it easily. The commentator said he was on a bonus from his shoe sponsor every time he broke the record so he does it in increments of 1 cm. Very clever.
