Good morning from Suffolk where it's been (and still is) a misty and frosty start to the day with only occasional glimpses of the sun. Coffee has been had which required a fresh pack to be opened - shopping will need to be done once the mist clears as this was the last spare pack in the cupboard. Also I need to get some food in as I've existed on pub lunches & hotel breakfasts for the past four days.

Good morning. Need to catch a train later.

For the first time in a few days, I don't.

It is my intention to cycle today.
Though not yet.

And me but way too frosty at mo so might have to wait until this afternoon after we have watched our granddaughter in fame at local theatre.

First cuppa about to be served after a bowl of cereal and prunes

 

[Jenkins]

Oh FFS, not another Chromebook update!

 

[Illaveago]

So Chamberlain, sorry Starmer, fly's back from Berlin,sorry Washington! Have I seen something like this before?

First cuppa went down well might be time for another one soon.
Shave has been done

 

[Andy in Germany]

Not in the same sense as catching a cold

No, colds are easier to catch: they wait for you.

Strong enough line/net?

Strong enough line/net?

Not a problem. Driver was a bit upset, though: apparently I should just go to the station like everyone else.

 

[Andy in Germany]

Just took a bulk delivery of Turkish shaving soap.

One reason I get it is the wonderfully retro packaging.

Are you that old?
Croydon airport, if I recall.

I remember the Goon Show episode where Croydon Airport was built. After some discussion they decided to build it near Croydon, to save changing the name.

Odd you should mention that, in that context.
Cecil Bebb and Hugh Pollard took off from there
to take Francisco Franco to Morocco to start the Spanish Civil War.

We have a lot to answer for

Croydon has it's own set of problems. I worked there for a while.
