I'm not retired yet.

Will we be able to tell the difference?

 

[Illaveago]

Ooh! It doesn't look nice out there, all windy blowy and the grey clouds aren't hanging around either.

The bird table is lying down again and has fallen to bits. The replacement bird castle isn't quite ready yet but is getting there.

It’ll be fun driving back to Cambridge today...

Yes! It reminds of this time of year some years ago, driving down the Fosse Way and having to do detours because of flooded roads and fallen branches.

We had been thinking of going oop Norf for New Year's Eve but had decided not to.

I had a bit of a play with one of my pressies yesterday. I had a go at trying to repair a couple of broken rings. I had to wire the second one as the gap opened up with the heat.
They cleaned up nicely.

Nowhere this quite fits today, so I will park it here.

I am writing a letter to the Journal-Star.

Platforms? ? My favourite would be Bellinzona, or Brig, I think.

Look, a new toy, I so want one.

I went out to get Gwen some soft cat food, she's gone off her food and had to lick some sauce stuff off my fingers this morning. On my return journey I noticed that both of our cars had been deluged in bird carp, so I've done a rain dance which has knackered me.
Gwen finally decided to wander in to the kitchen and started meowing once I opened a small tin of her new food. It is encouraging that she has had a few mouth fulls and returned for a second go. She's now having a sleep on my lap.

We had a fridge/freezer delivered today. The chaps who lugged it in gave me a card with a number to call if we wanted to pass comment on their service.
One chap wrote a number on the card, 043558044.
When I searched the number, it showed as a being in Dubai, UAE.

Turns out that was our Order Number.
The phone number was printed further down the card!

Oh, how MrsPete laughed at my stupidity

public transport in Vancouver is cheap and reliable.

A cracking Thai meal has been demolished, now sat at the ICC waiting for The Blue Man Group

 

[Reynard]

Sat by the fire here, footy on the radio, with chicken thighs and pigs in blankets slowly simmering away in some stock. Will have with the last of the roasties and red cabbage in a bit.

Yes, it is.

However, I tried describing to some people in Vancouver about where I lived, and they had no idea of English Geography. So I said that "if you get on a train in London and travel in a westerly direction for two hours you reach Worcestershire".

That was before I knew that you can get on a train in Vancouver and travel for two hours (in one direction) and you will still be in Vancouver. Which means that Worcestershire is a borough of London.
