Time I did an Upsy Daisy and went to find my bed.

Drinking tangerine seltzer water and listening to Moszkowski's Spanish Dances in orchestral version. Atualfo Argenta and the L.S.O., way back when.

Didn't have you as a classical music man.

Well, it's like this.

I can hardly expect the cats to do it. Lack of opposable thumbs.

They just say that to avoid helping anyone.

The real reason is that they're cats, so they don't care.

Good morning. Time for some toast...

Morning .
It is grey out . It looks like we had some rain in the night as the ground is damp .
I'm waiting to go and make another .

I briefly heard the goldfinch of the manor this morning. He must be breakfasting away this morning.

I just climbed the stairs from the ground floor to the sixth. My torn calf muscle didn't enjoy it so I'll take the lift next time.

We are watching an old film with Dennis Waterman, Snowball ,1960. It reminded me that the bus conductors used to give children the old rolls of tickets when they put a new roll in . I was surprised by how much there used to be left on the old rolls !

That was when they carried the machines, rather than a rack of tickets.

We have baby sparrows, too! Flying, but sitting on the fence waiting for fooeto be dropped into their mouths

Yes. Busses could move off once people had boarded and not wait around whilst people paid .

We got around that by allowing people with tickets to board on the back doors here; then some pen pusher decided that could mean people were getting on without a ticket so now everyone has to queue at the front door.

I'm willing to bet no-one did a comparison of how many more tickets were sold before or after the policy change: the box was ticked and the pen pushers were happy.

Yes. Just cost cutting ! Oh! We can save on wages. They were not worried by how much longer the journey's took . Around here you can get stuck behind busses whilst they unload and load because of the way they park . There used to be pull ins for them to get out of the way of traffic but the peeps in charge thought it would be a good traffic calming measure .

Well, it's only a bus, no-one important will be using it, will they?

I can report sunshine by the sea, making salad rolls for lunch then in the saddlebag they go and I shall point my steed in a definite direction when I get outside.
