M firtree 2?

A38 by the airfield/Rolls Royce

(No one says firtee here but where I grew up outside London they did occasionally ... I was number firtee free on the register one year when we had to say our number not name and our form of rebellion was to mispronounce it!!)

We should have had that in our schools, would have saved the teachers a lot of time, what with all the Czech, Irish, and Italian names, sometimes double-barreled.

We weren't impressed ... it was only one teacher, I think the only one my Mum ever went into school to complain about (not to do with numbers but persistent "Irish comments", but my mates stuck up for me in the way that kids can and asked where he was from and then used that to comment about him).

Meh cold has turned into what my late Ma would refer to as "a very chesty cough". I blame the Prosecco.

The last ten miles of my ride today was a bit wet and I was a tad damp when I got home. At one point in the cafe stop there was a robin flying round the cafe and the Woman had to usher it out, apparently it often flies in.

At least there was one of my 5 a day in there

Did you not have enough of it? Try whiskey next time ... good for helping you sleep through a chesty cough.

Spiced rum and Stone's ginger wine was my weapon of choice last night.... on top of a lot of prosecco.

Today I have mostly been in Brum jewellery quarter chopping in some scrap old gold, buying loose diamonds and discussing options with the family melter ( goldsmith). Sorted out a nice set of wesserplein well-matched and super- sparkly white stones to three-quarters of a carat. All to be set in white gold individual claw mounts on an 18 carat yellow gold band for an eternity ring. It'll be MrsP's 'big' Christmas prezzie. Got a really good deal on the stones but the scrap gold prices might have been a bit better. Trade price for cash so the train fair , my dinner and all else was covered with money to spare. Three grand plus worth of tom for change out of a grand.

Let's face it, you're now feeling a bit rum and a bit ginger.

I have a rum and coke and a mini mars bar. Nobody can say I don't know how to live.
