Good morning people. It's wet and grey. I don't enjoy November.
Today is a small person day so shortly I must jump in the car to go and collect my granddaughter. Mrs P is out this afternoon meaning only one responsible (?) adult (?) is available for this task.
Tonight the mighty Rovers take on Morecambe FC. Along with two sons I will be worshipping in the temple that is Ewood Park. First time the three of us have gone together in two years. Really looking forward to the match. But Morecambe? How did we fall so far? It's a long, long story which I can bore you with if you wish?????? 🤔🤔
Time to go.

My pal finally went off on her trip to Devon this morning. She'd headed for the coffee van outside Todmorden station, while I nipped into 'spoons to buy her a pack of Viennese Fingers for the journey.
She had intended to catch the 09:43 train to Leeds but we got to the platform early, just as a Leeds train was arriving, so she got on that instead. I said goodbye, picked up a Metro, and headed for Aldi.
I got home and discovered a squashed pack of Viennese Fingers at the bottom of my rucksack, under my shopping. Oops... Looks like broken biccies with my afternoon coffee then!
Shortly after that I got a call from my pal... Both of us had forgotten that she had an off-peak ticket, only valid after 09:30. The guard told her off but let her stay on the train without charging her extra.
My TV used to have a Eurosport app but they stopped supporting it so now I cast to the Chromecast dongle instead. The picture quality is better than it used to be on the app, but it isn't quite so convenient to skip through the coverage because I can't use the TV remote control.

If you use a Chromecast Dongle, the TV needs to have a free HDMI socket. Your old set probably won't have one?

Supermarket run myself today to my local Sainsbury’s, and was quite alarmed at the lack of stock throughout the store; at a guess I’d say the majority would be down to logistic problems within the UK with a significant amount due to slower imports following on from the ’exciting‘ rollercoaster of the new trading environment we find ourselves in.
Perhaps the government will take note from history and line in the first Elizabethan reign issue licences to privateers and buccaneering types who can sally forth to pillage the global shipping lanes, and allow the press-ganging among the legions of newly unemployed…?
