Yeah, this ^^^

The more I think about it, the more I think I picked this up from handling the few parcels I had come in last week. It's enough that one person sneezes over something, and I guess one tends to be more lax in the comfort of one's own home...

I am avoiding Tesco in the run-up to Christmas. No yellow sticker bunfights for me this festive season, the Christmas Eve one in particular, as it's always heaving in there.

The Tesco Express near the local hospital has had staff volunteer to keep it open over Christmas, for those working in the hospital over Christmas.

Earlier this year they kept it open 24 hours for the hospital workers and the local bus depot.

Loop? Looks great looking down from the 20th floor

That the El. I love the El. I think I have some pictures from back in the 70's, with the old green and white cars with the windows that opened.

oh my, can't you purchase a stamp anywhere else? around here one can buy them at grocery stores, pharmacies, & some other retailers such as stationary stores

Not for overseas, at least here you gotta go to the posh office for that. Ours is Georgian in style, built during the depression. Across the street from the theater shown on my avatar, which is Art Deco, inside and out.

oh OK, got it. yeah, that's what gets me too, weighing the thing & adding extra postage. I was envious of the woman who came with bags of PKGs, which already had the postage added. I think there is a way one can do this at home. I should look into that

USPS.com.

Standard way of making burgers around some parts of Connecticut. Especially around Wallingford, central Conn.

Well that was an interesting late night surprise: washing machine's gone pop just as I've gone to bed, blown the house electrics and I've had to drain it, get the door open and rinse everything.

A late night as a result.

Check for water on the floor, left-hand side, later today, before saying it needs replacing.

A steamed burger!
Why can't they fry them, or at least grill them.

Thanks for the suggestion - no water on the floor when I pulled it out. It's about 15 years old and has been getting noisier. We've had a few repairs done, the latest 18 months ago, and were warned then it was about gone.
