h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

It's too early for or and it's the wrong type of weather. It has to be very frosty and cold for me to eat or

For me, its 1:34am and just the beginning of a day that will end (today) when it starts getting hot in the afternoon.

I've always been rather nocturnal anyway.

Breakfast yesterday was shredded wheat (3 large biscuits) cold cereal with a pound of sliced Mexican papaya, chocolate chips (tbs or so), a handful of shelled pumpkin seeds and pint of organic milk straight from the refrigerator.

The was actually a chocolate muffin, just the closest I could come to that in smileys.

I will admit I'm a confirmed chocaholic.

Still working on the .

I am very fussy when it comes to as I used to get ordinary instant but I have found a top grade coffee which has a higher coffee bean content. I have never been a shredded wheat fan as I do not like the texture and I am like that with wheat biscuits (even ones made with oats) as when it is with milk wet it is too soggy and even when I just put a little bit of milk, it is too dry. The only wholemeal cereal that I find palatable is porridge where I cook it water with no salt or sugar added but add milk. Sometimes I have it with added fruit with yoghurt.

I do not like it when the weather is hot as it makes my hands swell up this is due to the fibromyalgia I have.

Was just looking at the weather forecast.

Temperatures over 100F/38C the next ten days with a high of 117F/47C on Saturday.

The torrid season is almost here.

The windy season is almost over, if the forecast and satellite look good this weekend, I'm going to be putting up an awning to shade the west end of the house from the afternoon sun.

Summertime temperatures are usually over 110F/43C, frequently go as high as 119F/48C and on at least one occasion since I moved here have gone as high as 136F/58C.

It gets hotter than that in the Persian Gulf at times, but not many other places.




Breakfast food, I like old fashioned oats, with a monolayer of pecans and syrup on top, but often take them neat and uncooked with milk and fruit or yoghurt as a topping cooked or uncooked.

I've always wondered how to make oldfashioned oats catch up with the times.

The pecans topping on a bowl of old fashioned oat, (high bran fiber and B vitamins), with just sufficient water to cover the oats, topped with a bland syrup, or something mild like maple syrup, cooks up in 3 - 5 minutes in the microwave to something resembling a pecan pie topping on a foundation of oats.

If you like butter with your oats, put the butter suitably distributed on top of the oats after adding water and before adding the monolayer (1 pecan deep) of the pecans, syrup last of all.

Cane toads don't go ribbit they go durrrrrrrrrrrrr[quick pause] durrrrrrrrr and they do this at night time
No idea if they eat oats though with pecans.

Cane toads are said to be pretty toxic. Don't even *think* about eating one

They're so poisonous because it's telepathically transmitted

Rock the night away with rock on Tommy.

There was a TV show about them. The poison was transmitted telly-pathically.

They are an awful environmental disaster for this country's wildlife but sometimes you feel sorry for them as people do awful things to them.

When I was at school either in Ashington or in London, some of schoolchildren played leap frog. I am remember clearing where I saw a very large frog in our family back garden and trying to catch it but the frog was too quick for me. I did not know where the frog had escaped from as non of the nearby neighbours had ponds in their back gardens.

Frogs can travel greater distances than you'd think. My father's garden usually has at least one pair of Wood Frogs. Garden vegetables attract insects, which attract frogs. We also see toads there from time to time.

Wood frogs are perfectly happy away from water in the humid Summer months.

A very windy day in Thurrock.

My purple asters are getting ready to bloom. Let's hope the frost doesn't kill them first.
