Short version...
Yay, Halfords have my bike chain ready to collect.
Nooo...they cant find it.

Long version...
Got my email, my click and collect bike chain is in. I'll cyc,e down and get it.
6 miles ride, arrive to a queue to get in. Queued for maybe 20 mins, because I want bike parts I had to wait while others could go In for car related stuff, quicker turnaround i guess. No problem, it's for the best.
One guy walked in , smiled and said...blimey, youre not having much luck. No problem was my answer, I'm chilled.
Made it in to join another short queue in the bike section. Another 5 or so minutes...yes, my turn. Showed him the email...he went off and came back slightly bemused....sorry, I cant find it.

Ah well, 6 miles back home, at least I got a ride in.

Son ordered a stereo for the car the other day, he works for Screwfix, they share a car park, so as the guys arrived he mentioned his order to them. They called him over over an hour later & said here's your stereo, he looked at it realising it wasn't what he ordered & mentioned it, it's the only one we can find was the response. The one they gave him was £99 instead of £48

I've just had sunsetty spaghetti.

 

[woodbutcher]

Mmm, that sounds lovely

Some nice cheese wouldn't go amiss on that too.

Too right , there was brie and a hard sheeps cheese to accompany ( can't remember the variety of sheep cheese , firm but crumbly at the same time). By the way that truffle is over 5cms across so many more exciting additions to come

That is such a good photo.

In the early days, films were sent on to the next cinema unrewound, so it was easier to splice the promotionals on to the end, which meant they were shown after the main film, ie. trailing, but the audience was already leaving, so the procedure was changed so that the trailer was shown separately at the start.

Thank you kindly for that nice little Mundane Factoid.

Ta, I'm no photographer, I just seem to be indoors a lot more and the recent sunsets have been unbelieveably beautiful.

I seem to remember there was I think a toffee bar coated with chocolate called Tiffen.Would have been in late fourties early fifties Cant remember who made it.

It comes to something when the noisiest neighbours (apart from the chickens) is the local old people's home when the accordion group comes to do a show for the residents..
