STOP PRESS

The end of the world is nigh.

I saw a Honda Civic on the back of a breakdown recovery lorry.

Good morning from Suffolk where it's another dull & grey start to the day, but at least it's not raining - yet.
Today's tasks are to do something about the clothes horse load of ironing that needs to be done and food shopping for tomorrow's trip to Brands Hatch.

I think I have just spoken to God !
He just rang me up and said he was from sky so I naturally assumed it must be him !
I said no thanks and put the phone down .

No burning bush? Nothing carved in stone?





Obvious fraud.

Weather truly horrible, not the dry day the forecast gave. Hailstones and biting, cold wind. I don't feel much like going for a ride in that

Ran a few errands in town, got wet, randomly bumped into a former colleague and also a girl from my dance class.

I saw someone going into the bank carrying one of those huge cheques that they use for photos. Why take it to the bank, I didn't realise they were actually legal tender 🤔 Imagine trying to fit that chequebook in your pocket.

Sunny but windy and gusts getting stronger until Sunday apparently. Early outing for the ebike and the roadworks avoiding route was blocked by roadworks Red tape across the cycle path where is crosses a road with no advance warning. Shank's Pony employed around them. Destination was primarily M&S in town to make use of the latest Topcashback sourced gift voucher on hot cross buns, iced buns and a Cumberland pie.
The return was also initially a retreat to foot as the road was blocked by a van trying to get between a parked van and a parked car
Washer now on with a distinct hope of fully dried garments later on.

That never stopped Joseph Smith and his plates dug up in his back garden.

A cheque can be on anything; it just needs the name, official details, amount and signature. Taking one into a bank is a bit of fun though - I won a cash prize and the presentation was one of those. Taking it into the branch elicited some looks. Particularly as it was only for £200.

Mystery solved! I'm off to Letchworth & Rushden 👍

Ooh lovely

Second cuppa went down well

 

[Jenkins]

Ironing done and put away, just in time for the rain to start. I think I'll have another cuppa while it passes through and then look at going shopping. Must also remember to get a card for my step brother's birthday which is tomorrow.

Maybe they needed the extra space to fit all the extra zero's on the same line.
That or very small handwriting on a normal sized one.

Ironing? I thought you were retired!

The only time I use my iron is when I am sewing and seams need pressing. I admit that the ironing board is always "up" in the Unitility room. Clean folded clothes/bedding live on the flat bit. There is a small shelf under the large flat bit, for drying small items, and blouses can be put on hangers to dry and hung on the rail next to where the iron stands.

It was not all bad it it's made great comical musical.
