Good morning.


I knew that would come back to bite me; now trying to wake up.

We're all still wondering what you were listening to.

When I delivered furniture, mainly to New Build estates, I found that most were named after what had been grubbed out by the earth moving equipment.
Hazel Dene
Dragonfly Meadows
Ete Etc

Our neighbour's garden & part of ours were under water recently, never happened until they built the estate at the back.

For some reason two breakfasts today was not enough. Possibly because neither of them was porridge.

I got an XBox from Mr Cookiemonster for my Burpday.

It was pre-loaded with Flight Simulator.

Lets just say that Cathay Pacific won't be offering me a job any time soon.

Happy Birthday.

Thanks. Getting ever closer to the big 50.

Two years to go though.

Imagine naming an estate "***** Lakes" The site of old gravel pits and way below the 50 year flood level. Next to a large and summer smelly recycling centre.
Waxing lyrical about space to breathe, love, grow and so on. Wistful artists' impressions.

Rubbish access road, no bus service, retail within several Kms, doctor, school capacity etc. Miles away in a car unfriendly conurbation.

We do have a brewery so the planners have one last chance to prove their ability.

So you're only a youngster then, I'm 71 next month.

Ohh mildly exciting news....

We have a dairy near our caravan that sells it's own milk and milk shakes direct to the public. We usually call in on the way down to our caravan most weekends - I discovered the place accidentally by cycling past it a few times.

Anyway, it's become a weekly treat, but we've now closed the van for the winter, and a 120 mile return trip for milkshake is a bit much !

I googled a while back to see if there was anything near us at home, but didn't come up with anything, until I tried again this morning, and we've a diary about 10 miles away near Manchester Airport (about 20 mins drive). Guess where we are off at lunch time ! My daughter is chuffed.

I've just had 2 mince pies.

They're a lot cheaper since I came here in 2014. Then they were nearly the equivalent of 8 quid a packet.

Plenty here in M+S Hong Kong.

Would you like me to send over an emergency mince pie parcel?

Happy Birthday @cookiemonster . You'll be relieved to know that once past 50 it no longer looms. It starts a slow process of fading away.
