my 93 yr old Dad called me at 4am to tell me the weather would be bad for Christmas & not to drive down (200 miles) to deliver a $4 loaf of rye bread. told him I had no intention of doing so. he was pleased & I went back to sleep. God only knows what he did after we hung up. love you Dad, but c'mon man!
Enjoy the time you have left, at 96 my dad is starting to go away with the fairies, I fear the end is in sight.

We called the thrupney bit a joey sixpence a tanner and shilling a Bob .No idea why.As kids we used to sing Rule Britannia two tanners make a Bob three make one and six and four two Bob.:laugh::laugh:
I know bob and tanner but I've never heard of 3d as a joey.

I've just managed to get the wattage to register on the turbo trainer. I have mixed feelings about this because I'd mentally prepared myself for an upgrade to a smarter and pricier version. Also, I have no excuse not to get on it now.
I know how you feel, we want to anew TV, we don't need one but would like a newer one with less frame around the side, but this one refuses to stop working

Back from hearing aid appointment.They were both broke .The programme was not working on either side.So a new pair were dispensed.Right so no talking about me I can hear you.
My hearing aid stopped working over two weeks ago. Could not go to Audiology in Oban as ferries had gone weird again so posted it first class just over two weeks ago. It has still not arrived. They are reasonably expensive I think but cannot see much of a market for used duff hearing aids so probably not nicked but it is only 25 miles away. Where the blazes has it gone?
