Definitely essential viewing for my mum!!
She didn't like Jackie Pallow of Mick McManus. Les Kellet was her favourite..

What about Pat 'Bomber' Roach

That takes me back around 50 odd years. I had a lovely lady who was actually my Godmother but called her Auntie for some reason. She was such a pleasant and kind soul and never said a bad word about anyone, but come 4.30 on a Saturday and the wrestling came on, she really got quite animated and into it. It was so funny to watch.

That was my mum to a T!

You'll have called her Auntie out of respect. Too young to use Christian names but too familiar to say Miss or Mrs.

Morning from the shedoffice caravan office. Working here today, then finishing a little early to go for a beer with my dad - first visit to a pub in over six months.

We've already got table booked for Saturday and Sunday (assuming daughter doesn't come to the van as we'd be 7 and only 6 permitted).

I may take my portable gas heater today, it's cold.

do you mean a 9-5, the 95 is quite a different beast (ex SAAB mechanic pedantry mode off)

A proper original 95 is the estate version of the 96

Oh boy, "tea cosies and teapots" two items l haven't seen or thought of for many years..." À la recherche du temps perdu"

I should get some Madeleines when at the store.

The sun is out, pub is booked for 3:30pm

MrsF hoping to set off for Wales round 4pm. I have bought her a bottle of champers as she decided to open one last night, and it had 'gone off'

Mild, a light breeze and occasionally sunny here chez Casa Reynard.

Spent the morning puttering around in the kitchen, watching the snooker and making notes for my writing project.

There is only one custard cream left in the biscuit barrel.

Yeah, you're right of course.

If you need a spare, I can wang one over. I have plenty of both.

They may have cats on them, or be cat-shaped, however.

Kind offer Reynard but l have been drinking coffee exclusively for so many years now that have lost the taste for tea. Thinking about it, thats not strictly true because l used to work in China ( mainland) and the only safe drink there was tea but not the sort that graces English tables

Ah yes, the phenomenon of involuntary memory . "But, when nothing remains from an ancient past, after the death of beings, after the destruction of things, alone, more frail but more lively, more immaterial, more persistent, more faithful, the smell and the flavour remain for a long time. , like souls, to remember, to wait, to hope, on the ruin of all the rest, to carry without wavering, on their almost impalpable droplet, the immense edifice of memory." Enjoy your Madeleines

Crumpets with melted cheese, mmmmmmm

Best bike has its own bed at the caravan.

I used to share an office with a chap from Hong Kong back when I did my PhD. As a result, I'm rather familiar with Chinese tea.

I'm the other way round, I don't drink coffee, apart from the very rare mug of decaff, after going cold turkey in my late teens. If I were to drink "proper" coffee now, you'd be peeling me off the ceiling.

Am curled up with a tortoiseshell cat and we are watching the snooker. Poppy loves watching snooker.

Oh, and my saddle has arrived.
