I see DPD are coming between 4.30 and 5.30 with more oat milk. I decided just to set up a subscription to get it delivered every 2 weeks since I can’t get that brand in Crieff and I really like it.

No thanks. It would be just another place for Mr WD to put total crap.

What do you think Pam did with them, it seemed a good idea to use the space when I built the house, now that it comes to clearing them all out, well that is another story.

I think I just have an old hoover and a couple of cat carriers up in mine.

Sunday lunch time a load of programs

The Bllly Cotten band show
Life with the Lyon’s
Round the horn
The Navy Lark
The Goon show

I recall all of them apart from Ken Dodd. Obviously I know him but dont recall him having a Sunday show.

It’s not much warmer out there yet. I wandered up to the chemist to pick up my prescription for Sumatriptan then into the Co-op, mainly for loo roll as I only had one left. I spied packs of ready to eat prawns in a chilli and coriander marinade that look nice so got a couple to try. I thought they would be nice for lunch with rice.

And my day off has been restored. Mum's fellers car has broken down so they won't be visiting. Oh well.

I certainly don't envy you.

It's quite nice here now. The sun is shining and I can feel warmth coning through the patio window.

Just going through things slowly, if I decide to downsize in the future I want to be ready to move.

I remember all of those except Life with the Lyon's. Even as child I didn't find Ken Dodd funny. He was a weird guy.

I said to my grandson that if you decide that university isn't for you then train as an electrician or a plumber.

My oldest didn't go to uni, he said it wasn't for him. He had a Saturday job in Top Man. He has a very demanding attitude to work, sets himself high standards and expects others to do the same. After a while he decided to become a nurse, got a place, a bursary etc. His mother was in the NHS for 40 years so there was plenty of advice for him. After a year he quit saying "It doesn't matter if people don't hang shirts straight in Top Man, doing things badly in hospital kills people."

Long story short he went to Top Man, worked his way up the ladder, moved on when his old boss rang and said I have a job for you. My lad now works for a company which owns 40-50 well-known brands. He is responsible for the sales of tens of millions of £££ into retailers such as Asos. From memory I think he has one A level and 5-6 Os.

There is a lot to be said for starting at the bottom.
