Which is how old London Bridge ended up in Lake Havasu, Arizona.

They thought they were buying Tower Bridge though.

Every stone had a number, reassembled as a feature for a real estate development in the 60's or 70's.

I have cycled over the new one, walked across the old one, but I've never cycled over the old one. It's never been a special occasion for me so I won't book a post-covid trip with a bike to Arizona. Though it would be more memorable....

I have moved the giant, compacted snow drift from my driveway. I now have a snow wall from 2-4 feet high along the edge of my driveway.

reminds me of our 2014-15 winter. you dig & pile it up & after a while you can't see the horizon anymore. I remember walls & drifts up to my shoulders. at one point, the squirrels were just walking up to the bird feeder, no climbing required

Wait whilst it reaches £25,000, then cash them in for real money.

That's actually on the agenda for tomorrow

The wood bins in the garage are almost depleted after this cold snap, so I need to fill them up.

They thought they were buying Tower Bridge though.

Not really, but it makes a good story.
It is a popular rumor that the bridge was bought in the belief that it was London's more recognizable Tower Bridge,[5][6][7] but this was ardently denied by McCulloch himself and by Ivan Luckin, who sold the bridge.[8]

I have shoveled more snow, moved a small computer across town, and eaten a chicken pie and some garlic bread.
