Time to get clipped in and get out

You do like an early ride old bean. Must admit its a lovely time of day.

Do you ever need the loo and not have pins and needles in your right foot?

This has happened on occasion.

I have also experienced pins and needles in my right foot and not needed the loo.

Two of the recessed spotlights in the original half of the kitchen blew. * One on Friday, the other yesterday. I'll fix them today.



* For those wondering. We had an extension built 9 years ago - this doubled the size of the kitchen, hence the original half and the new half.

Funny how names stick. At work there's a large vaulted cellar known as 'The Chicken Coop' because when the current org. took over the theatre there was a chicken coop on there. That was 20 years ago and there hasn't been a chicken near the place since, but every new client is given the tour and told "This is the chicken coop".

Morning. After all of the euphoria of yesterday I have completely crashed this morning. I thought the way I had been feeling since I had finished my treatment meant that it had somehow cured me. Wrong! It has come back with a vengeance this morning. I didn't know that putting a teabag into a cup could be so complicated.

Not just places but other things too. There was a program on TV years ago, can't for the life of me remember what it was called, but the funny thing is, we couldn't remember then either.

For reasons lost to the mists of time, this program ended up being called 'Dr Who'. It wasn't actually Dr Who, but weirdly we could distinguish between Dr Who the TV program and 'Dr Who' the 'other' program when in conversation.

The Lieutenant Colonel was correct at the period in which the show was set and ran. But by the 1990's, the Front Street Station, near another railroad junction, GM&O (later Illinois Central Gulf) and the Nickel Plate Road, was falling into severe disrepair, as was the neighborhood. The station was razed, and the pile of rubble was used to elevate the bicycle/multi use trail over the busier (now Union Pacific) railroad tracks, and the station was moved to Normal. Then a new station/city hall/parking deck/bus terminal was built at Normal for the high speed rail project. The state university and the country club continue in their usual places and configurations, btw. But the hospitals have changed greatly. St Joseph is so large it is quite a hike just to cross it. (P.S. I am not a Stevenson, but there are many about. One on the opposite end of our church pew. )

I also need the loo...

To allay any concerns, the situation was resolved without embarrassment or inappropriate dampness.

The supply sergeant broke the law as well.

It rained in Abu Dhabi and it's raining here as well...

Now sat by the fire internetting and listening to Wolves v Huddersfield on the radio.

Oh, and both Arsenal teams won their games today.
