Seller indoors & me outdoors. Box put outside for me to pick up. Drove there and drove back without stopping.

Widnes? Where the seller was is nice, but the rest

Oh. And there was a HUGE black cloud over Manchester. Covid-related or is it always like that?

It sounds like you missed the worst of the wetness of a Widnes Wednesday.

How quickly can you say that without getting your ting in a twost?

'Allo 'Allo fan? Or just of Officer Crabtree / Arthur Bostrom?

My French is as bad as his. The locals tell me to stop when I attempt abysmal French on holiday (9 of the past 11 years) usually with "thanks, but please stop murdering our language"

I've been known to watch an episode or three...

French is actually my first language, but I don't speak it much anymore. There isn't a great deal of demand for it in deepest, darkest East Anglia...

So far so good.

Always good to hear.

Time to go feed the cats, and then it will be time to feed me.

A bitsas tonight, to clear the last of the leftovers from the fridge. Plus I'll be poaching some peaches that I bought on sticker in an effort to try and redeem what has, up until now, been a rather unpleasant eating experience.

I've nearly been a vegetarian for two days.. Apart from the chicken in my stir fry, this evening..

Oh, and a bacon sarnie for lunch. 👍🏼

Why is it that gluten free pastry tastes all gritty ? . It's alright if you want the experience of you sitting on a beach with the wind blowing sand around whilst eating a pasty .

Made pesto from allotment grown carrot greenery allotment garlic and spring onions green stalks for dinner. Didn't expect much but it was bloody lovely with pasta.

Madame Fondo Craddock is cooking Scottish fresh crab delivered approx 3 hours ago. At 11am I had a McDonalds triple sausage and egg McMuffin.

It might well be a game of two halves, Brian.

It's a 'feature'. 😄

 

[Oldhippy]

Overtook one of those new fangled electrickery scooters today. Lazy bugger.

Went into work, for a meeting yesterday, for the first time in 7 months. Felt very strange, after working from home for so long. Some things never change though.......commuter traffic and no hot water in one of the loo’s!! Apart from the joys of having to wear a mask for 4 hours, it was nice to catch up with a couple of people that I’ve only seen on a laptop screen, since Covid hit. Oh and a bonus.....work trousers still fit

 

[DCLane]

Cold's come back which probably means no national hill climb on Sunday for me

Son no. 2 is taking part though.
