Potsy wants to know why you are putting up a tree.

What strange plants he wants to put up in his living room is nothing to do with me

A Hifi fanatics dream set up.

I have to run a multi-plug extension lead for the 'sources' but the 2 QUAD 303power-amps pick up their power from the back of the QUAD 44 Pre-amp, if they all plugged into the wall sockets I'd need 9 outlets.

I counted eighteen gadgets plugged in by my desk at work and used that as a guide. I'm obviously going to need a few six way extension leads for routine World Domination tasks.

This evening we are going to our last show of my birthday year, Comedy, Gary Delaney, Stuart Francis and a couple more comics TBA.
Not our last outing of the year though, still a couple of things to do.

I've just driven back across the city from Coventry's Rugby ground in Earlsdon and could have done with radar, its like an old fashioned pea souper out there.

I've just booked a table at Nando's in Salisbury for next Saturday evening. Mr R and I will be taking Mum out for dinner.

You know how to spoil her.

I've gathered you are having something done... but missed what it is... kitchen extension? Knocking through?

Hoping it's mostly sorted for Christmas!

So are we. Building a new extension for dining room use with a kitchen relocation into the open plan beside it. Old kitchen becomes a shower room and a utility room plus storage space. Old dining room becomes... well... a book-lined "club" room cum-study. Upstairs the bathroom and one bedroom have been remodelled as we took the old kitchen chimney stack/breast out.

Started in April, should have finished in August. Might be complete at Easter. Fortunately the cost overrun is small in comparison with the time overrun...

Touch and go if it will be useable 25/12, we have plans B, C and D.

Our high temperature is supposed to be about 4 F tomorrow, after today's ice and snow. My boss was amazed I made it in to work this morning. I won't be going anywhere tomorrow.

Bugger

Bit of a, certainly!

The compare tonight is the bloke we saw at the pub christmas comedy club last week, and the first act was Gary Delaney who we saw at the pub last month. Small comedy world.

I've just booked a table at Grillado in Salisbury for next Saturday evening. Mr R and I will be taking Mum out for dinner.

Ooh heck, I first read that as Grillado at Sainsbury! Must upgrade my Poundland glasses.

 

[Hill Wimp]

Cheeky!

If you're ever in Salisbury I can recommend Grillado.

That's looks really lovely.

Full report required afterwards.

I'm having some 8 months out of date Asda 'Marmite' on toast.

I'm having some 8 months out of date Asda 'Marmite' on toast.

Does it taste any better once it is out of date?

Not really. I don't think you could get it to taste any better!


I like it thickly spread. About a heaped teaspoon load on every slice.
