There's a Russian Doll in the window,in a charity shop down the road i fancy. By that i mean one of those below,not one of those young ladies looking for a sugar daddy and a passport, you can find on a website.

It's been in the window since lockdown. It's going for 4 quid,which is good, as new they're around 60 quid! It's the Lenin (middle figure) one by the way. I walk past nearly every day and wonder if/when they re-open i'll get there before someone else does. In reality,there's probably only me that wants it!

Anyhow, good morning from sunny & warm Suffolk. The recycling bin was emptied just before I left for work so this was put round the back of the house and an 18 mile commute followed. Two more bottles of squash purchased at Tesco on the way in - I seem to be getting through quite a lot.

Give them a ring and get it bought, the worst that can happen is Putin sends you a tea bag laced with polonium for your support of Lenin.

Pop an envelope with your name and £4 in it and claim them as yours when the shop reopens..

I don't think i'll be able to reach the letterbox! There's a sign in the window saying 'no more donations please'! It's been there since lockdown started. It hasn't made much difference, as folk are dumping their unwanted tat in charity shop doorways,pretending to be charitable,but sneakely (is there such a word as 'sneakely? if not i've just invented it!) getting rid of tat,instead of holding onto it until the recycling centres re-open.

Its now raining, looks like its in for the day... never mind, nothing planned, bet the queue for our local Tesco is non existent or full of bedraggled people with umbrellas

More drizzling than raining here. It's more like March or October, than May.

Where's Malenkov?

Same here. Although it rained about 1.3 inches for each of the last two days. All in all, I got out on a bicycle ride, both days, and hardly got wet.

I bet you can name them all!

It is difficult. Because you get some co-leadership fellows as well. Like Lenin/Zinoviev, Kruschev/Bulganin, Brezhniev/Kosygin. Does Beria count as a leader? He was in charge for a wee bit after Stalins' death, but then disappeared once Malenkov found some new friends (Kruschev/Bulganin/Zhukov).

Heck,just realised that it's all the same doll....obviously! There was me thinking all the dolls inside the Lenin doll will be Lenins as well.

All you folk talking of rain! We've some heavy looking clouds - but no rain!

Well that's 4 hours I'll not get back, went to get the C&C from Asda, but had to go via the tip as I'd loaded the car up the other day, 2 1/4 hours queuing to get in less than 10 minutes to empty it, guy reckoned we were the first people not bringing garden rubbish. But there were people there for 2 hours in the queue that were just sat there with the engine running all the time!!

Then we had to come back home as both of us needed the toilet, then off to Asda to find all the bread had been cancelled from order, so had to call at Aldi on way back.

Not just drizzle now! Quite heavy and you can almost hear the greenery sighing in relief.
