Sweet cigarettes I remember them. I think they have to call them 'Candy Sticks' or summat, now..

Only because of the plitically krekt bunch !
They are still sweet cigarettes to me !
I used to like sucking whilst twisting them to produce a point .
Candy sticks to be correct would be the stick that your candy formed around when you were at the fair !

We are now having an argument here ! I insist that the candy floss stick is a candy sticks ! SWMBO says that a candy stick is a stick of candy ! I say that that would be a stick of rock !

Raspberry Ruffles! They're the raspberry and coconut filled chocolates that I couldn't remember last night.

Meanwhile, I have a pot of Tesco Gold leaf tea on the go. Then I need to pack for a couple of days away in Leeds.

My apologies for creating disharmony in the House of Illaveago...

I've cleaned the bath & shower room and hoovered throughout the house. No Freddie Mercury impressions today as I didn't feel in the mood..

Nah! A candy stick looks like a cane. It’s red and white stripes and tastes of peppermint

Oh bloody hell!

HK Express cancelled my flight to Thailand, shortage of staff but, at least, I'm getting my money back. This has been quite controversial here as many people are kicking off about this lot cancelling flights.

Just rebooked with Thai Airways.

Currently reading “ Journey to the Centre of the Earth” by Nicholas and Richard Crane published in 1987.
They have reached Katmandu and went to Gringoland where all the touroids hang out.
There was me thinking all this time that I invented the word touroid with no “ s “ as it was a plural anyway.

Ambulance with blues and twos just gone hammering past the house.
Heard nothing about the rally so far so nobody seems to have been killed this year.
