I popped round to Screwfix to pick up some jollop for the roof. It’s only a mile or so each way so I decided to walk. Spotted our local delivery driver out on her rounds, she was making deliveries dressed as an Easter bunny 🐰😎 I waved a greeting as I passed and she wound her window down and we had a brief chat. Before she went on her way she gave me a couple of small easter eggs for myself and Mrs Tenkaykev 😁👍

I watched the documentary on Louise Woodward 25 years ago now, I came to the conclusion that there are two people that only know the truth, her and God.

And if you were stopped later and questioned as to how the eggs came to be in your possession, you'd happily have stuck to the story that the Easter Bunny was driving round, saw you and stopped, then presented the eggs to you!
They'd be having you blow into their little machine. At the least!

Now I'm getting notifications for other watched threads but not this one - strange.
Looks like we are getting a new car - Mrs SD loves it; VW T-Cross Black Edition. Too much kit on it to mention.

So there's only one person who knows then?

My nice new brake levers were delivered on time by the most amazingly chirpy van driver. He seemed reluctant to get on his way until he had made sure that I was having a nice Bank Holiday and was looking forward to opening my parcel! 
(I thought they didn't get paid much and were supposed to be stressed out all the time?
)
Anyway... I cleaned the bike and took the old handlebar and stem off. It was then that I realised that I should have ordered new brake cables too. The old inner cables are frayed and don't have enough length left for me to cut the ends off and still have enough to use. The outers are 20 years old and there was too much friction in them. I'm about to order some but will the mighty Amazon Prime do next day delivery on a Bank Holiday weekend? [Adjourns to Amazon..] Yes - the cables will soon be on their way and will arrive tomorrow PM!
I only signed up for Amazon Prime for a month or two to watch the last couple of series of The Shield, which had been dropped without notice by Netflix. I decided that it is actually a very good deal so I stuck with it. Once you get used to free next day delivery, anything else is just annoying! And I keep finding things to watch on Prime Video without having to spend extra renting premium movies or shows.

I ignored those offers for years until I wanted to binge-watch The Shield free. I took my 30 day offer to do that, but as I said above - their marketing worked and I have stuck with it.Every time I buy something from Amazon they tell me I have 30 free of Amazon Prime

We stayed at the Red Lion in stiffkey, pronounced Stukey, 3 years back. The food is terrific.Had a stroll around Warham Iron Age hill fort.
Very well preserved with the banks still well defined.

Went shopping in Wells next the Sea and then had lunch in the Stiffkey Red Lion.
Nearly forgot it was Friday until I noticed Fish and Chips on the menu!
