I'm taking the dog for a walk soon. Only a mile or so now as our neighbours & us are going to an enclosed field where the dogs can chase each other stupid for an hour 😂

After spending four or five months hopping around on one foot only, I have a situation that my left shoe looks like brand new but my right shoe is starting to fall apart.

I wonder do they sell them singularly, or find someone who broke their right foot and wore out their left shoe🤔

I remember a scuba diver who was standing in front of the chandler's counter and asked if they sold single fins. Sarcastic reply from behind the counter " only got one leg or something". Er well yes.

I usually get buy one get the second one free

We used to sell socks like that. Get the punter laughing and you are most of the way to a sale.

Nice early morning so out for a trike run before breakfast. Clouding over a bit now but still dry so far.
Ernie has been and left £75 this month.
A new to us ferry has arrived in the locality to very mixed opinions. Slightly smaller than the one it is replacing but should run all year rather than the MV Coruisk which is seasonal.
Sceptics point out the strange waterline and predict problems in windy weather. Time will no doubt tell.

I used to have to accompany a gentleman to the DWP office to prove he was still disabled (he had one leg) to keep receiving disability benefit. I asked a number of times if they were expecting it grow back somehow or he was pulling a fast one for extra cash. Ludicrous in every way.

SWMBO's got into the departure lounge. Hoping the flight's on time I've four days off. So ... normally I buy something wholly inappropriate whilst she's away, then hope she doesn't find out

Previously it's been a Talbot Samba Cabrio, bikes, etc. The Samba I now realise I should've kept given they've gone up massively in value.

But ... this time I've not bought anything ... yet! Suggestions please ...

Meeting eldest son + partner and my grandaughter today for a mooch round; Norwich wins hands down over Clacton where he lives. He's asked me to bring a Zippo lighter I bought a few years back so he can show off with it no doubt - !
However, I shall restore the status quo by giving his partner some photos of him when he was a 'nice wee laddie' aged about six - !

The long weekend has started. Dragon Boat weekend in HK, Fri to Sunday.

The only queen around here is Mr Cookiemonster, but don't tell him I said that.

What flavour?

They're red and white so I assume raspberry ripple.

I'm sure your name has changed. Did you grow a mast and go on a long sailing trip?

True, l was once woodbutcherchris a simple ships chippy. Now l'll show my true colours because l'm on the right tack and it's all plain sailing. Mind you, l do have to make up leeway and l don't want to rock the boat because all is shipshape and Bristol fashion so there will be no need to sail close to the wind because now l am woodbutchmaster and no making waves from here on in

I've finished my book. I only have one more to read before riding my library circuit of old telephone boxes and bus shelters to exchange them for different ones.

There is one outside a small café near here. Book exchange, not elephone box.
