Mundane News

Indeed it did, all the way to Shad Thames, although my memory seems to say it ended at Gainsford St. My grandfather worked for Courages so had a little terraced house. My uncle had a sweet shop & tobacconist in Grange Rd.

Just checked another map on https://maps.nls.uk/geo/explore/#zoom=16&lat=51.50369&lon=-0.07721&layers=10&b=8 & clearly my memory is correct.

Courage's Brewery is shown on this map - http://www.mappalondon.com/london/north-east/tower-london.jpg. The part of Boss Street as is now was John Street, and where Boss Street appears on the map, closer to the river, no longer exists. (@PeteXXX - We had a coffee alongside where the old Boss Street was. The passageway alongside the café is probably a trace of where Boss Street was.)

It was very nice coffee, too!

Hope you’ve built a snow castle with your bucket and spade.

No, but I helped the kids across the street do so.

Second cuppa went down well

I wound up with about 9 inches of snow, and not as much drifting as expected, so far. Have dug out the two feet of snow across the end of my driveway the snowplows dumped whilst removing the snow from the street.

Finished reading a delightfully strange novel (There's no such thing as an easy job by Kikuko Tsumura). Established that I can't taste tea or lemsip but coffee is still good. One cat asleep on the bed, the other is downstairs shouting at Mr Hebe's office door.

Very good point. Already done the Post Office… was meant to be taking the girl out for cadets but she’s still not very well. Driving to rehearsal tomorrow though including the first refuelling as it didn’t come with a full tank.

good luck finding the filler cap door release! ;-)

The Aliens do that , so no one gets suspicious

That's where it went to.

Can we have it back? If not, I'll need to sacrifice more goats.

So it's either Aliens or @cookiemonster 's eldritch rituals...

Or maybe Cookiemonster's eldritch rituals influence aliens.

I know that one! My left foot still keeps trying to find the clutch pedal though

Been watching Rick Stein's India again and got the urge to make a chicken rogan josh last night. Crikey, even the kids said it was nice!

I've just had to cut my lawn. And it's only just into chuffing February.

But good news is that if it's warm enough for grass to grow it's easily warm enough to cycle!
