Nice 17 miles bimble around the local village bus stop & phone box libraries to swap some books 📚
Sadly, the Moulton village one is empty & locked up ☹️

You see now......you are in denial of what truly happened.
What will happen now is..........
Tonight, in bed, this will be on your mind and you will be restless.
Your wife will take this restlessness as a sign that you want/need your conjugal
rights. This in turn will have 2 possible results.... .. ...
A) she will ne thrilled and be all over you or
B) she will strike you over the head with
the bed pan.

We await your report.

That would be an Ecumenical matter!

Is this your mystery guest?

No, ours has been christened " Ringo " by our granddaughter, due to the orange / ginger rings on its tail. The notices were posted in the beer garden of one of our local pubs.

Mrs Tkk is sitting at the dining table browsing the interwebs. At this time of day she's usually in her comfy chair reading her book, unfortunately that's not an option at the moment...

Hi Dave it's a new thing, never got it last year, but this morning I got an email from e-on my gas/elect supplier to say about this
I dismissed it as it said pension credits ect, but when I checked my gas/elect account £150 had been given, and I still get the £200
WFA as I had a letter last Monday, there has been nothing in the news about this so i was wondering if anybody else has had the same ?

I've got a chicken cooking in the oven, and I'm going to do my oven chips and a salad to go with it.
The salad won't be cooked in the oven before you enquire @classic33.
