Icelandic cod, sorrel and yuzu broth with a 50 quid bottle of wine for lunch on Saturday in Portman Square. Steak and kidney pudding chips and gravy and a can of coke in Northenden today for 4 quid. Funny old world.

How about this for a bit of luck. There I was debating with myself whether to buy this tracksuit top i'd seen on fleabay for £37.99. I kept putting it off then I was about to click the buy thingy but again I put it off,this time while I made myself a cup of coffee. As I looked at the item again just to make sure I liked it the price on screen dropped to £22.99. So by being undecisive I saved myself 15 quid!

This poem has (almost) been pretzeled into submission.

I do think it needs one more verse though, as there seems to be, well, to me anyway, too much of a gap in the narrative between the last two verses as it currently stands...

Anyways, time to knock off for a

Mostly here today, but rather blustery.

I have made asparagus soup.

Soup may be a good option for today.

I have received good news about my Mother's house. The first people to see the house, put in an offer, at the asking price, that day (Monday). Their offer has been accepted (Wednesday) and, so far, they have not withdrawn the offer. Some other potential buyers put in a offer, then withdrew it.

Yes I know there are people out there who play silly Bees when buying a house. These people have their deposit saved, the mortgage approved (in principle) and they are moving out of rented accommodation.

I have a question for the wise peeps on this thread. Someone I know very vaguely has (alledgedly) a Community Service Order for about 300 hours.

What sort of offence attracts that amount of hours? Does anyone know? or know how I could find out?

My new Topeak Wedge II Large has arrived and is now on the bike. It wasn't easy fitting it though as I secure the bracket on the saddle rails, but then there wasn't enough room to slide the bag onto the bracket! A bit of adjustment and fiddling and I managed to get bag and bracket together and secure.

Lots of room in the new bag which I'm not used to. If I can get a pump (presta and schrader, preferably, or presta only) that will fit in the bag too, I would be thrilled as it would solve a problem.

Fairly naughty for 300 hours I think as it's top of scale.
