Spilled coffee all over the table due to my arm slipping off the end of it when holding the cup.
That's twice now

Problems holding yer drink!
I dunno.

Lovely supper of cold sliced steak, a jacket potato with garlic butter, braised red cabbage and roasted pumpkin with pepper & sage. Then had a helping of chocolate and caramel trifle for dessert.

Today was an object lesson in relaxation. Once the washing was on the clothes horse and dinner in the slow cooker, I took the car out and got the shopping then did a quick 20 miles each way to Needham Market & back to put a bit of charge into the battery. Home, put away the shopping and then did absolutely nothing apart from listen to various FA Cup matches on the radio while reading, make a mug of coffee and eat dinner.

There's bikes that need cleaning, but that's what tomorrow is for.

Bullseye only ran for 15 series, 354 (inc. 11 Christmas specials) episodes.
Strictly has run for 20 series, 366 episodes and counting.

The will to live is ebbing away. It set the nadir that only Love Island has crossed.

That and biskit got deferred - ended up prepping a pumpkin for roasting, as I noticed that the top was getting a touch soft. That's oven ready now, will roast with sage and garlic

If soft tops were the test for roasting things I can nominate several humans

I spoke to a 'person' at Vodafone this morning. Well ... To be honest, I think 'she' might have been a chat-bot but I really couldn't tell!

I think that's a bit scary!!

yes components will be international though we make a good few about I remember something about 90% of all kettles have a British made switch. Components are about the only thing we can stay competitive on manufacturing is no longer mass basics it's more about quality specialist stuff.

There was a funny little company that held a patent for the switch that detects the steam. My experience was that they were an altogether odd bunch to deal with.
They also made the elements for infra red hobs and at the time we believed infringed a patent we held.

Funny old world

Just watched the dogs basket slowly move across the room on its own. The settee hid from view the dog pulling it from the side. He’s now hidden out of sight fast on and snoring softly.
Don’t want to move him come bedtime once I turn the TV off he will move to his other bed for the night.
He know it’s means biscuit time

I've got one cat asleep on the desk across the room, and another asleep on top of the microwave.

Sat here with a while watching MOTD

According to a TV magazine LP a new series of Midsomer Murders is ITV 1 8PM to 10 PM
Looking at the schedules for tomorrow it’s an interview with someone called Harry

I think that is someone who has just shot himself in the foot. Was he in the Army?

I've spent an enjoyable evening writing. Well, making a start on editing the almost complete chapter I had been working on before the festive season. I've enjoyed getting back to my characters.

I've also bought another programme for my archive after the seller, from whom I've bought stuff before, sent me an offer I couldn't refuse. I *had* been looking at buying one that was somewhat cheaper, but very tatty. The offer plus the free postage meant there wasn't much difference, so a no-brainer in the end to get the one in much better condition. One of the photos in my collection is published in this one.
