Morning all

Yay! .........well, you know the score.
Nippy out there at the moment, but a nice day forecast.

Fish Friday for Dirk

On the news it says Meatloaf has died. He was 74 and the news says the cause of death won't be disclosed.

Morning all.
Our son and partner arrived yesterday and brought some nice belated christmas presents.
He insisted on taking us to the pub for lunch. Myself and MrsD had the pensioners lunch. Both had breaded mushrooms. I had ham, egg and chips while she had steak pudding, chips and peas.....very nice.
Breakfast today is croissants along with strawberries and cherries.

Yes, just listening to that news. Very sad.

Good morning, world.

2 degrees and overcast on Planet Thanet today. The forecast is for sunshine, but things will have to change quite a bit for that to happen.

I will need to walk round to the post office at the very least - a couple of eBay sales need posting.

Will Mrs Salad allow us to have a "fishy Friday" from the chip shop? I will have to wait and see.

Keep safe and keep well, everyone.

Well thats a bonus, disconnected the old Talk Talk router and put it away, unpacked then connected the Plusnet hub and it connected straight away and I have internet, I was expecting to have to wait till later in the day, it seems lively as well, just the wifi to set up later.

Well - I'm awake and I managed to get out of bed - which was unexpected

been up for about an hour - but haven't ventured outside yet

I was concerned last night as the bloke opposite had put the wrong bin out

I didn;t feel up to limping over and knocking him up (stop sniggering at the back - we know who you are!!!)

anyway - this morning he has switched then round- so I can stop feeling guilty!

(OK - I say he - could be his wife - but then I have not seen any woman in sight putting bins out - no man free houses
Is it always a man's job???
asking for a friend!!!)

Yes. It is. It's my job to tell Mr WD which bins to put out.

MrsD always puts our bins out.

MrsD always puts our bins out.

I'm not sure Mrs P knows where our bins live.

 

[Dave7]

MrsD always puts our bins out.

Well that is acceptable as you are very busy planning all next weeks pub meals, a very important job.
