Dry and sunny but still a bitterly cold N wind.
Need to get out and get my runner beans in and some other garden sorting done.
Just been out to get some eye ointment but it has not yet arrived. Fortunately I always have a good stock in reserve.
When I was out went and filled up the car tank. 180.9p for diesel and paid the VED which was as predicted up by £10 from what the form said.

Didn't it go up at the beginning of the month?

I just **LOVE** that film.

I got the chance to be a dad a second time,after making a total mess of my first marriage.I was 46 when we had Dan,and 48 when we had Charlotte so I got to see all the best films and cartoons in the cinema like Toy Story Harry Potter and so on it was brilliant.

A shame you aren't closer...

Time to build a long-range trebuchet?

Hey ho, that's life. The consequence of living in a relatively tourist-y area (cathedral, Oliver Cromwell connection, major nature reserve) I'm afraid. On the flip side, the charity shops in Cambridge are even worse, so...

For the most part, the days of good charity shop bargains are long gone.

I'm not a film person, but i just love animated stuff like Toy Story, The Incredibles, Sunny with a chance of Meatballs, Flushed Away etc. And I do like the Potterverse - films, books, fanfic etc.

I can highly recommend Emmaus charity shops if you ever come across one.

It always goes up after the budget but C & E used to have a sealed envelope before the budget which they could not open until after the event. The forms currently being used by DVLA are years out of date and ask for things no longer needed and the cost of renewal on the form is obviously printed well before the budget.

I love peace and quiet and don't want to listen to noisy work colleagues!

oh interesting. I'm the opposite. being alone makes me crazy. I love the watercooler chit-chat & commiserating camaraderie

 

[oldwheels]

At the prices they ask in charity shops around here, you may as well go and buy a new one from a jeweller...

Oxfam I believe is particularly expensive but I don't go into such places nowadays so I could be out of date on that.

3 hrs to go for me & Wifey says she will treat us to take-out

Back from the quack. Meds correct, but paperwork still fubared. New lady in the dispensary, so she initially didn't want to amend the paperwork by hand. I stood my ground (politely) and she went and found someone more senior (and who knows me) to ok the change.

I now have a and two petit beurre biskits.
