Unfortunately had to preorder my MeacoDry Arete® One 20L Dehumidifier / Air Purifier. Should hopefully arrive next week though.
Builders over the road had that on when I got back from my bike ride this morning
She’s doing great. Chugging away. Getting obsessed with checking my humidity level though.

Evening all
Bit of a stressful afternoon - I’d taken the car into the garage to have the heating done, and they came back quoting £1600 to have it fixed 
After a bit of thought and Googling, decided to just not have it done - the heated seats still work and I’m going to buy a standalone de-mister. Hopefully that’ll do the trick.
Off to the fireworks shortly. Not sure if I cba
Evening. The fireworks appear to be in full swing outside (I thought it was tomorrow?). Chorizo and bean casserole for tea, then going to the pub for a couple of pints with some mates.

Still cant find my TV remote 
Want some hangover cuddles now I’m recovered enough to appreciate them, the cat is delighted about this.
typical night in for me. Listening to the new Daniel Avery album and reading Our Share of Night.
fun language / conceptual question that came up when I was talking with one my students today.
Multiple choice listening question: What is the guy afraid of?
- Using an escalator
- being on a flight
- using a lift.
Before listening, I asked the student what the differences were in the situations, hoping that they’d say that you are typically in a lift, but on an escalator or on a flight, because the language in the recording used things like ‘getting in’ and ‘I got trapped in one when I was 8 years old’) so the answer was ‘using a lift’
The student said something like “well, escalators and lifts are indoors but being on a flight is outdoors. Right?”
I was a bit flummoxed. So my question to the good people of DIS (because I told the student I would ask) - If someone is on an aeroplane, would you say they are indoors or outdoors?
I mean this in a general sense. not ‘are they inside or outside the plane?’

Evening, been ill for 24ish hours had to get off the bus at Salford Central last night and walk to Tescos for TV to pick me up. Which made me miss Cat Power . Anyway found out today I got what I had from my parents so cheers for that Mum and Dad 
Easing myself back into eating with some pasta and a bit of garlic bread. Going to watch Masterchef and then go and lie in bed due to having to be up tomorrow for some more DIY.
There’s a porn niche for every kink, eh?

Hello!
Busy week finished, a couple of beers sunk, baby down to sleep, gonna have a halloumi and chickpeas thing for dinner and maybe open some wine.
Evening all!
Wor Lass had a really weird afternoon at work visiting a man whose house was modelled on a Wild West theme park and which smelled so strongly of varnish that she didn’t notice it also really smelled of gas until just before she left (and just before the guy lit his pipe…)
She was a bit shaken so we had a fnc tea.
Everyone is cold and tired here so probably early bed.
Watching i, robot. They sure love Converse

Needs a poll but Inside is my answer.

Too much of a novice online to know how to make polls, but I think it’s worth mentioning that the student said ‘outdoors’ rather than ‘outside’. If anyone who knows how to make a poll wants to, feel free.
Think it’s tricky with a plane. I wouldn’t say that someone in a car is ‘indoors’ but it is different with a plane?
I feel like this is the kind of conversation that would involve an endless debate on No More Jockeys.
- On a plane is indoors
- On a plane is outdoors
