I'm not a Parakeet (or whatever that thing is), but staying in bed is always a good idea whatever the day.

Have you any idea how many people end up in A&E due to accidents in bed?

Grey & breezy morning here in SE Suffolk - a perfect day for indoor work (after a decent lie in that is). Managed to get the vacuuming done, changed the bedding and get the old lot washed and onto the clothes horse. The planned ironing & kitchen floor mopping got put off until tomorrow due to the appearance of sunshine after a break for lunch, so I went out on the bike for a bit.
You're nearly safe.. Just over an hour to go! 👌

Another tropical morning in Singapore - full of sights and sounds both familiar and new after Cambs. Traffic driving on the left (yay)! Lush greenery (albeit with different foliage). But skyscrapers rather than dreaming spires. And the call of koel birds replacing the cooing of pigeons. Unaccustomed earth.

Morning .
It looks wet and grey out . I took a peep outside and haven't bothered to open the curtains yet .
I spotted a nice green flamboyant racing cycle with an orange section on the crossbar parked in the distance in Morse last night. I wonder what it was ?

We are expecting a new computer to arrive today. It is not what I expected. It is a desk top. It's not even the one that SWMBO pointed out .
We were a bit frustrated with PC Universe, their site said that we could do a click and collect type collection but when we got to the pay bit it said that it had to be delivered!. You could put it in a wheelbarrow and cart it back for the distance it's got to travel ! . It must be huge ! The size of a washing machine perhaps !

On facebook yesterday one of the Coventry groups put up a set of photo's of the aftermath of the blitz, absolutely horrendous.

My parents can just remember it
The book about it is harrowing enough but also worthwhile reading for Coventry kids .
Can you imagine the pictures people would have taken had cameras been more widespread back in the day .

I've started a thread in the cafe about it. I didn't come to Coventry until 1973, arrived from Kent looking for work, some of the accounts I've read about that night have been harrowing.
