Mundane News (Part 1)

Lost the battery pack for my Ay Up Lights on the way home. The perfect end to a very stressful working day.

Today at work I was asked to put some old Windermere steamer posters in order, what order was not specified, so I chose "prettiness*". The 1974 "See More of Windermere" was a clear winner with 4 colours in the title, sprays of flowers and a photo of a boat, at the other extreme 1978, well, it is a wonder they did not close down that year, a monochrome shot of people on a pier and a slogan so dreary I have already forgotten it did no-one any favours.

*"Aesthetic appeal" to the linguistically talented.

Remember the order, it'll be a question on 'Only Connect' soon... 'and the picture fourth in the sequence is...?'

Sold one of my most cherished guitars today for £1k less than I paid for it
Could have increased a lot in value had i been able to keep it a few years longer.

Still, we had some good times.

I've just remembered why I went into the kitchen 5 minutes ago

My fiancé has turned the cats into crazy maniacs by spraying the cat nip spray!

I listened to an egg today.

I was going to leave that enigmatic, but feel compelled to explain. Slimbridge Wildfowl Trust have been doing their "Downy Duckling Days" guided tours of the duckery this week. We all got to listen to the tap tap tapping of a ring-necked duck working its way out of its egg, before being taken round to see the latest hatchlings. Big huddled bundles of downy feathers, with beaks and huge feet sticking out. What's not to like? Aaah!

Glad it didn't hatch open when you were close up and it thought you were its mummy, then followed you home!

I went to the dentist today,
as I chipped a tooth a while ago,
and they saw me today.
Lots of drilling, and a nice filling.
The man truly is an artist.

I think he might have been calling you an artist but you couldn't hear the rest of what he was saying over the sound of the drill....

A parcel man just delivered a package from someone here, I used to drink with him down the local... reading the label he said to me 'Who's Ian Duke?'

Reminds me of the time a colleague thought it would be funny to send me some documents with the heading Cottaging Weekly on the letter…the postman was my next door neighbour so that was fun to explain away haha

That, and tornado warnings for north in the county kept going on the telly and alarming his assistant.

Is wondering what to have for lunch
