" Vicar of Dibley" and "Only fools and Horses" are the best two comedy series ever made in my opinion.

I've not watched either of them, that type of comedy doesn't apeal much.

I've been told mine is an odd one.

Me too I think as I very rarely find programmes others rave about funny. The likes of Monty Python which people seemed to love never had me even cracking a smile!

It's not tea, it's a sort of coffee substitute made with rye, barley and chicory.

Nice 5 miles walk done and went into the Co-op for some bread, milk and fruit on the way home.

Have they missed out the ground Acorn’s. My memory my be wrong but during WW2 Acorns we’re used as substitute for coffee

It's the stress of defrosting the freezer. He's not thinking straight, he probably meant to say Marmite.

Thought they were going to do what Australia did to him.

Nope. Thank goodness. Hope he wins. Glad he stuck to what he believes in.

The house now looking resplendent with its new vertical blinds in place, the old ones were looking dilapidated but had been up for over ten years. Next job is to sort out the shed roof, I'm not doing it myself, I'll get someone in, I don't feel like clambering round on a ladder with a roll of roofing felt in my hand.

I see Boris’s cabinet are deserting him. Only so much deceit and lies people can put up with!

I'm surprised it's taken them so long.

I did my 8’ x 12’ shed about eight years ago. I chose a heavy duty felt. I thought I was more able than I actually was. It was really hard work sitting on the ridge and waggling my arse backwards while unrolling it. There’s no way I could tackle it now. I did find a big tin of jollop in the shed and used that to coat the roof of Mrs Tenkaykev’s shed last summer ( we have one each 😉) My shed’s in desperate need of treatment.
