Got £230 interest on our YBS account , the most we've had for years.
Christ, if we returned to interest rates of years ago, we'd be coining it in

Yum. A small game pie from the Rhug estate farm shop is being quaffed. Delicious!
Bit of a trekk to the other side of Corwen, but worth it.

You can gain access to tinned pilchards with any very sharp kitchen knife. When WW3 breaks out, my fishy stash is going to come into its own. I don't need to drag a two tonne farm jack along with me.

Please don't tell my wife that, she already misuses knives sufficiently.

Regrettably, it doesn't yet have a lead lining or protection from 500m/s blasts. Anyway, I'll be long gone, dragging my convoy of pilchards behind me........with a very sharp Victorinox chef's knife.

The pilchards would be a good substitute for lead.

There's a new game around here called ''Drive like a plug.'' All it requires is an unnecessarily big vehicle, absolute minimal driving competence and the prioritising of said vehicle's right to drive into a space in order to block anyone else's chance of getting past. Closer to "Monopolise the road'' than Monopoly. But at least it seems to have stopped people blocking up the M1 and the M25.

But you're a long way from Chelsea & they only use them for the school run.

Lovely luncheon... Two slices of toast, one with chicken liver pate, one with Pie D'Angloys (Englishman's Foot) cheese, plus a pear, a banana and two

I can remember having to walk away from all the toilets around the main spectator area over to a coach park area at the end of the runway one year whilst watching the Jags to find a useable toilet

That dates it between '86 to '91...

Part of the problems with Le Mans is so many spectators being three sheets to the wind before the race even starts...

Today's task was to lower the ground under the rain water butt tap so a watering can can be filled without laying it on its side. Well, actually it's been a requirement for about a year but has now been ticked off the notional list.

I started the epic task of colour coding my negs and contact sheets, and learned that six box files won't fit into a large re usable shopping bag.

My coffee percolator is making lovely percoly noises ☕

Why didn't you raise the water butt?

That's another half a cubic meter of logs cut and stashed in the garage.

Time for a well-earned

Water, gas or electric?

Hmmm, you're having similar storage problems to me.

Four at most, and then the next problem is lifting the lot...

No mains gas out here...
