Well 32 miles completed this morning
First cuppa went down well
Nice bright blue sky

I got a message to say that the book I purchased on a well known auction site has been posted - about two minutes after I bought it - at 8:54 on a Saturday night.

Either the seller is telling porkies or their local post office keeps some weird opening hours....

Post office here is not open but my mail arrived at 1900 last night so our postal workers keep strange hours.

Just wondering what the Mundaners' collective think... Would it be more embarrassing to live in:

a) a house full of Elvis memorabilia

or

b) a house full of royal memorabilia

Treading on dangerous ground there.

I came across this site earlier: https://www.powerlanguage.co.uk/wordle/ solved it on the third line, more by luck than judgement...

That is all.

5th try again today, a strategy may be called for

Slept in till 8.30 this morning as it was still pitch dark when I got up.
Not actually raining yet but the sky to the north is very black and menacing.
Might go out later to wish my wildlife buddy a Happy New Year since I was away earlier. We used to have get togethers in past years as we both had wives who were drivers and prepared to remain sober. He had to drive the last mile on private road up to his house as his wife would not drive on hard packed untreated snow.
Mystery. I got a copy of Private Eye delivered last night as I appear to have a subscription. No idea who paid for this. I did subscribe many years ago but had no contact with them recently.

I'm bored and really wish I could go out somewhere.

The clue is in the name, "they" are watching you!

It did occur to me that they may be trying to tempt previous subscribers. I did check the name and address on it before opening in case it had been misdirected.

Have a gander for anything odd in your garden, or a ring doorbell on the inside of the door.

Yes.

I've a Silver Jubilee tin somewhere - it's used to keep buttons in

There's a biscuit tin knocking about here with The Queen reviewing troops, probably from the 1950s.

 

[fossyant]

Raining again !

All this talk about Royal memorabilia reminds me of a great aunt who was one of those people who devoured information on all the Royals and noughts books, etc.

She was also a lover of cage birds and she had bought two budgies around about the Duke and Duchess of York got married so she called them Andy and Fergie

Sun's cracking the slabs here in Hamtun!
Mind you, the ice on the cars was a bit of a surprise when I was planning on a decent walk around the Washlands.
I parked on Crow Lane and went for Plan B and got the Brommie out of the boot and had a lovely, but nippy, ride instead. Had to be careful, though, as the roads were ungritted and icy in the shady parts!
