Saturday waiting for APC

Clear skies, light westerly breeze, frosted rooves*. I reckon it's a winter morning.

*That's how we spelled them when I were a lad.

I've been out and fed the lickle birdies !

It's the big fat grey ones that I'm not happy with !

I just looked out the window, there’s frost on the car, that’s the first I’ve seen this year.

Just a slight impossibility given the difference in plumbing, dahling...

Bernard Manning was a plumber I never knew that, how did he get in an airing cupboard?

 

[Illaveago]

I've just sprayed on some deodorant which says ," Motion Sense " .

So it's not going to work that often then !

The second call was a bit more convincing which was worrying ! I think it was a recording of someone with a posh British accent ! They wanted me to press 1 !!
I put the phone down .

We get that on occasion. I generally let them go on for a bit then ask why, as this is a German number, they are speaking English, and that furthermore in Germany cold calling is illegal, so where did they get my number from?

If it is an old secondary form, then you were supposed to but you're not supposed to now.

Hundred Acre Wood does not have any cars, but I wood have expected to see more than one this year where you are.

There is only one car outside that I can see.

It was my intention to have a lazy morning in bed, but my body clock has awoken and I’m up. Grrrr.

I’ll put the kettle on.

I find a dressing gown looks better.

That would be the government 150 mins a week recommendation. I wonder what research that came out of, or did a committee just decide the public would accept 30 mins a day, with a rest at the weekend?

Prozac dreams.

This time I was a scientist in a secret underground bunker and trying to escape from my mad boss running into endless tunnels. Finally I took a tablet which enabled me to run very fast.
