Looking at that again it does not look like a folded plane but perhaps it is meant to be like that.
Need to find an expert as my knowledge of aeroplanes is zilch.

Well well Midlife seems to have nailed it.
The thing I saw is near enough one of the pictures shown and so is a powered glider almost certainly.

Close, but not quite

Did you make the most of this years summer?

Was that the time when the greyness was warmer?

And before anybody asks - yes I did remember to put the bin out front ready for emptying.

That was the sunniness you mentioned.

Bin collection on a Bank Holiday?

Does anyone darn socks these days I remember my mum darning my woolly socks.She had a mushroom shaped thing she pushed down the sock .Can’t remember what it was called Think it was darning something or other.Made darning easier Darning probably went out when synthetics came in

The one chez marmoset was called a darning mushroom. I've never tried darning mushrooms personally. Copious butter, herbs and garlic works just great though.

Though, if the holes in your sock are because the shoes are too tight, toestools would be a better name.

Good call. I think even Leeds managed to score some goals.

Wimpy bars were the fast food choice in my youth Burger followed by Apple pie and cream

There's been a Wimpy in Felixstowe since goodness knows when. It was where my mum used to me & my sister as children for a treat. We used to share a knickerbocker glory.

Yep - recycling was collected last Monday (Christmas Day Public Holiday) and non-recycling tomorrow (New Year's Day Public Holiday). I have to work as well.

Did you empty out all the choccy Santas from Lidl on clearance?

I rather noticed they did.

We was robbed yesterday.

Not exactly darn in the traditional sense as I wouldn't know how but if I see a small hole starting to develop in a sock I would sew it up and stop it developing into a big hole. It only takes a few minutes to do so.

My granny used to darn socks using a huge 200W light bulb inside it. No posh darning implements here!
