No.
I blame that young whippersnapper Drago. That's the trouble when you give kids too much spare time.

Morning folks. 
. Seems to be a calmer and warmer start to the day here. No frost at all.

We are about to sell Mrs Ds as we no longer need 2 cars.
Someone told me they sold theirs to one of those "buy your car" companies and got a good deal.
I got a price off 3 of them and they all seem well short of value.

I think they do say in the blurb that they pay less. On the other hand, they come and see the car, pay you the money and take it away. No muss. No fuss. You don't have to do anything.

We just sold ours back to the dealer we bought it from and took a bath. Just happy to be rid of it and in all conscience we wouldn't have wished it on anyone else.
In other news, I've just found out that the Spanish word for someone who's retired is el jubilado. That's brilliant; it makes retirement sound like one long party.

Muttley walked. Milder today, a bit drizzly. Got a headache and sore throat, so hope I'm nothing down with something. Arm and shoulder day will be replaced with light stretching, a few crunches and some press ups dat.

Good morning from a grey and drizzly Lancashire. It must be warm as I've no urgent desire to clean out and light the woodburner.
Planning my return to two wheels for Sunday though I see no one has offered to lead yet. Dodgy forecast I guess. Wimps!!
NT Live for us tonight with Alan Bennett's Allelujah. Got to wonder at ticket pricing. Bolton Vue £20 (loads of seats available) Bolton Cineworld £11 (few seats available) and our local community cinema, Chorley Little Theatre, £10 and sold out.
CLT is brilliant we get people like Jack Dee, John Bishop who do 3-5 nights for £10/seat trying out new material for their big tours. Plus many well known comedians from R4 who simply seem to like visiting - it's all run by volunteers who along with the audience seem to have a great reputation.
