I like Vimto, but struggle a bit with idea of hot Vimto.

Anyone remember the Sarsaparilla shop in Cardiff?

Don't knock it until you've tried it.. It's lovely!

I barely remember Cardiff, let alone the Sarsaparilla shop but it sounds interesting

It's on the list, after a cold cycle.

I’ve been enjoying it with him too but I think that might be his stint done. Wonder who will be next.

Re noise, I have quite acute hearing and am very noise intolerant too. It really gets to me.

Yes, I have very good hearing, also if it is too loud it sort of "reverberates inside my ear" if that makes sense.

Cats have been fed. Soon it will be time to feed me.

Does anyone watch "Pointless" on BBC? What do you think of the guest presenters following the departure of Richard Osman? I like the current one, Stephen Mangan. as he speaks very clearly.

Another question - Can constant loud noises make you feel ill, if you are not used to them? I was finding it difficult to concentrate.

For the last three weeks (six days a week) men have been digging up the pavements, installing cables and relaying the tarmac. So there has been a pile-driver, or jack hammer, digging machine, small roller, and all the vehicles to bring the men and the equipment. Sometimes it sounded like there was a helicopter overhead. This is normally a very quiet street in a quiet part of a quiet county.

Answer, Yes.
It can build up a pressure imbalance in your ears, which is why earplugs to ear defenders are used in noisy work places.

Oh Bu**er - I can't take Thursday off after all - it turns out it's my turn to be a Cabinet Minister

Sweet potato, carrot & red lentil soup for supper, along with a bacon sandwich and then "stairs" crumble & custard for afters.

The politics is far more interesting than the football this evening.

It’s becoming a total soap opera. It would be amusing if it wasn’t so serious.

It's dark comedy at its absolute best - straight out of the mind of a Hollywood scriptwriter. Guess it's what happens when it's "jobs for your mates" rather than giving them to people who actually know what they are supposed to be doing.

Going to watch Doc Martin at 9 then I might have an early night and read for a while in my cosy bed.

We are back. It's been a long day and we are tired. The fish and chips on the train were very good .

Does that explain why I feel slightly dizzy and tired?

The noise was outside, but sounded very loud indoors, and just as noisy when I was in the back garden.
