It's National Mince Pie Day on Saturday the 22nd November and Morrissons are giving away 50,000 mince pies, free, as part of the celebration.
 
Morning.
I have just been downstairs. I said hello to Georgie who wanted his breakfast, put the kettle on and went to see if the mouse trap in the cupboard had caught anything. It's a mouse! A little one wanting to get out. It was lucky as I had replaced the killer one after I had found the bait to have gone but not sprung. I will take it up the garden later.

As long as I breathe, I attack.
House went on the market yesterday and we already have a viewing this afternoon , mrs ck is very picky about the whereabouts of the house she wants and must have a second toilet etc etc so it makes it hard to look for another house as she is too picky along with mini ck1 who is the reason we are moving in the 1st place , feels like no one considers im the one who is got to get to work to pay for it all.
 
Have you ever thought about cycling from Lands End to Jon O' Groats? It has crossed my mind but I could never do it. For one thing there is planning the route! It's fine at the start as the signpost points in the general direction , but go a few miles and you will notice that JOG doesn't appear any more! Now where? Out with the map. I suppose you would head in the general direction of Bristol but that is a few pages further on!
Where would you stop as you can't cycle it in a day? Then there are food supplies to consider as sandwiches won't last that long? Trying to find fish and chips shops on route would add to the time, asking locals for directions and then queueing for them.
Finally you make it to Bristol , do you head for the Severn Bridge or carry on to Gloucester? Once the other side now where? Head north but which way?
It's a bl**dy nightmare! I admire those peeps that have done it but It needs a lot of planning. :wacko:

A dreich, wet morning here. I should have brought my umbrella.

Now waiting on my breakfast. Some inconsiderate 🤬 has sat in my window seat.:gun: I can't indulge in my favourite hobby of watching people trying to park their enormous SUVs!
Go over and quietly point out that they are sat where you normally sit, and that there's a free table(Where you were sitting) just over there, that they could use.
