Mundane News

The local ice cream cafes were open today which surprised me given the weather

This was an ice cream van, driving around with it's jingle jingling!

Brrrrrr! It's hot chocolate weather, not ice cream weather!

The microwave has gone ping, so time for supper.

We don't generally have vans here. There's a lovely cafe in an old city gate in Esslingen which was open today, although not overburdened with patrons.

Evening hot chocolate went down well

This is perhaps not mundane.
My lovely daughter sent me a snap of a roast dinner she had prepared for her and her partner. That's the mundane bit.
I didn't expect it to be a Jabba the Hutt meal.😱

The 'vandalism' feels as bad as that famous tree.

I haven't got a teapot.

Where's the government when you need them?
Kemi? What would you do about this shocking state of affairs?

Put the recording of the Japanese GP on this afternoon and soon decided that a snooze was more interesting. Flat out on the sofa, sleeping bag over me for warmth and that was it for about an hour. Woke up to find out it had been raining, nothing heavy but just enough to make everything very wet. Other than cooking tea and doing the washing up, nothing at all has been done this afternoon & evening.

The evening's hot chocolate has been had and the recycling bin has not been moved to the front of the house as it doesn't need emptying.

I fear the Ice Cream Van man is a tad optimistic today 😂

We have a local ice cream lady. The wail of her van is like the grim reaper announcing that he's in town and in business.

I made a little detour on the way home to the coast and my favourite ice cream shop. I did have ice cream.

An evening of Kindle reading, high action story and Spotify,just finishing off the night with Mr Joe Cocker what a singist.

Well, I'm up do-do creek.

Drive from the deep south to Yorkshire.
We are at a wedding tomorrow.

Unloading the car.
Where's my suit cover?
What suit cover?

The one showing in the sitting room on the home security system.
Oh, gosh that is annoying.
Putting aside the fact that my departure was presurised and rushed is not a point that it is smart to make right now.

My options, in the morning?
Balls it out and wear the smart casual cords, button down Oxford shirt a racy merino jumper?
Have a contrasting cord shacket that might pass for trendy.
Or panic early and get a more suitable outfit?

This is compounded by the fact that I don't really want to be here. Certainly don't want to buy more clothes in a little Yorkshire town where you don't go without a hat.
It's very windy and even for March it's very cold.
Doh!

Borrow or steal. You could beg but that is just SO undignified.

You could, of course, turn up naked, and claim to have just joined the Militant Naturists Front.

@Gwylan - is that a cry for help from the Yorkshire CC collective?

Size and location needed to assist. Single or double-breasted suit sir? Or, maybe a tuxedo?

Either way, I hope it can be resolved.

Lunchtime cycle, all a bit muddy and damp but pleasant sunshine. Temperature almost double digits.
Now I have to deal with a toilet that is blocked. Why, how or where is not clear.
I have noticed our paper consumption has risen recently.

Just unblocked our toilet this evening!

Another thread was discussing Amazon prime ....
Googled options for plungers and the like, and ordered a "toilet snake kit" and it came today about 6pm. So pleased with my Amazon subscription.

An hour spent using the snake to drag out a mass of wet wipes that somebody in this house had thrown down the pan and it was clear again and all working again.
