Bonus day off because of public holiday means I can get all the tidying and washing done today and leave the sunnier Saturday to go for a ride.

Probably should get off'f CC and get on with it then...

That's an email I wasn't expecting this morning.

"Sits within any toilet"
"Be the first to know when it launches"

I'm not sure I want anything in my toilet launching, but I also think I'd be first to know if it did...

Okay, I'm going to wash up now.

Will be out on the bike tomorrow for the first time in 6 weeks.

Hamstring issue.

Boiler man is early so he sat in the van till 10. He’s seen me so knows I’m in nothing like the English working man .Tell he’s not self employed.

I heard on the radio that bus passengers had to be evacuated very near where I live after the bus caught fire late last night. I know I shouldn't laugh but this was what came to mind!

On a coach holiday abroad some years ago, nearing Calais and we pulled into a picnic area, all the doors flew open and the crew started shouting "everybody out", when we got outside there was a plume of smoke coming out of the engine bay, it turned out the air con unit had burnt out, after consulting the office they cut the belt connecting the air con to the engine and we carried on without it.

A poetic comment on our current situation :
Boiler man is early so he sat in the van till 10.
He's seen me so he knows l'm nothing,
Like the English working man .

Oh how dreadfully sad !

What I find surprising looking back on it now is how old Jim Bowen looked. He could only have been in his forties but looked more like seventies.

Yes, he was 44 when the show started! Tony Green was 41.

Good.

But how far back do I have to trawl to find out why you not at home and very happy at the prospect of going there.

Previously, in Hebe’s Mundane News…

My Dad, Mum and two Hebe siblings all caught Covid at Christmas lunch. I travelled to look after them all as my sister normally does any supporting that my parents need. Added stress caused by one unvaccinated parent choosing not to test (“I don’t have Covid! I know I don’t have Covid!”) in between coughing exactly the same way as everyone else who’d been in the same car, going to the same meal, who did have Covid. The main thing is that no-one needed taking to hospital and they are all much less poorly now. I am home.

 

[Andy in Germany]

Washing done.

Supporting documents for passport application ready to send. This took a while to get together because of Beautiful Daughter has a Japanese passport so I have to colour copy every page and send that, and her Godmother did the identifying so I should send a copy of the photo page of her passport too. As with most Germans, Godmother doesn't have a passport; an ID card is mandatory and usable for travel in the EU and Switzerland, so they're getting a copy of her ID card. I'm sure the UKPA is used to this.

Bullseye got viewing figures of 17 million when it first came out.
The last Strictly final got 9.6m.

I'm watching 'Bullseye'. In the last episode an old lady won a speedboat with water skis. She looked stoked.

Google speedboat and Bullseye and their are some weird articles.
One claims only one was ever given away to someone living in a Coventry flat while another lists various alleged uses a Doncaster couple found for there's until it came useful when they got flooded.
