No but there’s still time

Will you be a hand or machine stitcher.

Old Vera repeat watched. Cooling down now so a milky drink then off to bed soon.

Anyone seen any ads for Father's Day? 🤔

Where?

 

[ColinJ]

Any bus stop near the first location you saw him?

He was walking up to an area of Todmorden with no bus service! He would have had to have jumped in a car which then came back the other way, shot past me, dropped him off unseen ahead of me, and then he would have had to start walking back to where he was in the first place. And this would all have had to happen in less than 3 minutes. Not very likely... (Unless somebody had a cunning plan to confuse me!)

What are 'ads'?

All TV programmes that I watch are recorded so I can watch them later ad-free, at times that suit me, and with any bits I don't want to watch skipped.

Can’t say I have. When is it?

That rules out the hiker who decided to walk to the next stop then.

Ads, those big boards along the roadside that promise you your youth back if you use their product.
And other weird things.

I've helped my Good Lady change into her nighty and helped her to bed, now sat in the front of the lounge using the tablet whilst listening to music on headphones, once she's settled and asleep I'll turn off the TV and light then go to bed myself.

Sunday.

I don't normally go anywhere where they have those. Or maybe I do, but don't notice them...?

I'll have a look on Street view!

Well, clearly I cycle around staring at the road directly ahead because I have been cycling past this new development for over 5 years and never noticed it to the side of the road that I am on!

Incidentally, don't 'avenues' normally actually go somewhere? I would have named it 'Stonemere Close'!

Oh, there ARE a few billboards. Not many, but I have never noticed these when passing.

They even have them in bus shelters. It gives those sheltering from the rain something to read whilst they wait.

 

[ColinJ]

Ads are obviously wasted on me anyway!

My prescription for Xarelto has been approved by ins. already. Amazing.
Colin J...what are the wiggly white lines on the street? Are they guides for drunken motorists to follow?
