Surely it's a bit naughty to set a trap for the teacher.

Ah! But if you place an apple in the centre of it !

I have a beagle sitting next to me, so I know it is damp and cold here, fish and mash for dinner tonight.

Did alter krekt want to change that to a bagel?

Morning .
It's grey here . I think it was trying to snow as there was dandruff flying around .
I wish people on Faceache market place selling things would answer questions! Things for sale appear and disappear so you don't know if they are still for sale ! You ask is it still for sale and get no response ! Have they suddenly dropped dead ? You send an offer hoping that it might kick start a faint pulse but still nothing!


Do you detect that I am slightly angry !

True. Maybe, just maybe there'll be more actual ball kicking than superfluous waffle..

I'll not watch it with yo if you want?

For some reason, the last time I used my bank card, I must have put it in a different place in my wallet than normal.

I walked up to the ATM machine and nearly had a heart attack when I opened my wallet and my bank card wasn't in its usual slot! For a moment, I thought I had lost it.

How would it work if the radio commentators walked out ?

Cold and crisp underfoot on the dog walk with blood orange sky for good measure. The snow level is well down from yesterday but Charlie still found enough to enjoy.
Trun's out my boot's are leaking I wear my Sealskinz sock in this sort of weather so not a problem.
Have to see about getting a new pair of boots if I can find a good pair.

The old farmers used to say that the sign of a good pair of boots was when they had turned up toes. Probably lots of tackets as well.

AA Car Sales!
My brother recently bought a car which was at a garage advertised through them. It has developed a fault with the Sat Nav, audio system and parking sensors . He called the chap who sold it to him and was told that he would have to claim off the warranty. I looked on the AA site and it gives a list of what their standards are and customers rights . It stated that it is the sellers responsibility to carry out the repairs within 6 months of purchase . It also says that their team can step in to resolve any issues. If it was me I would be right on to Trading Standards ! I tried to find a phone number for the AA customer services. A right game of going round automated services. In the end I just picked a number and spoke to a human . I quizzed her for a phone number which she gave me . I rang them . They don't work weekends!
I wish there was a Wikileaks which gave out director's personal phone numbers and addresses!

Enjoyed my usual Saturday morning fry.

Apparently it's my favourite waitress's last day as she starts a new job on Monday.

Maybe CEOemail could be useful? A search for Automobile Association UK gives some options..

Another bright day so far but a bit of hoar frost which we have not seen for a long time here.
Some mince and assorted bits and pieces simmering on the stove, washing machine has done it's stuff.
I thought it might be a good idea to check the washing machine water filter but the thing seems to have stuck. Considering that one of the plastic nuts holding the toilet seat has just broken this morning I thought best to not force the filter. It would probably break and leave me with a serious problem.
I probably do have spare bits to fix the toilet seat somewhere if I could find them. Been chucking stuff out recently so the relevant bits are bound to have gone.
Lost about a kilo in weight this past week for no apparent reason. I weigh myself once a week and it has always been reasonably steady with a tendency to rise if not watched.

Some days a bowl of cereals is lovely and another day it just doesn't cut it
