Our daughter had the dreaded sticker on her recycle bin last week. When she checked there was a 3" piece of polystyrene in it.

I've just been for a few things and booked my car in for it's first service even although it's barely been used. Better keep it within warranty.

Morning all from an overcast middle of nowhere ( well chelmarsh near bridgenorth) .😂.
I managed to find some interweb at last .
Day 2 of the nationals and still only just enough wind to sail or mrs exlaser is not happy as she likes it windy .
Our b&b is a little basic ( fake beams and artex walls ) but it does have a lovely view of the river severn and the severn valley railway plus a very large breakfast. 😀 The main problem for some the sailors that have some from further away ( I am fine as was born in Telford ) is the site owners have very very strong Black Country accents. I don’t think many of them have been addressed as ‘ me bab’ before 😂😂😂😂

The posties park their van outside our house before heading off on their rounds. They’ll also rest their post bags on our low wall whilst having rummage / sort out. I don’t mind this at all, I get on well with them ( one of them went to school with my daughter. )
What I find odd is that I’m often the very last house they deliver to. 🤔

I worked on the line at Longbridge for a short while back in the 1970’s. It was an eclectic mix of nationalities. The most difficult person to understand was a bloke from “the Black “ It’s less than 20 miles from Brum but it took me a few days before my brain tuned in to the accent and speech patterns. We ended up good friends, he asked if i wanted a cup of tea “ kipper tie 😉 “ When I said yes he put a spoonful of tea leaves into a mug, poured on boiling water, added a splash of milk and handed it to me🤔

One of the engineering firms I worked for used to have work done at a black country factory and I would regularly take material over and collect it when it was done, the load wasn't quite ready one day so while I waited for it I went over to the supermarket across the road, not only was everybody talking in a thick black country accent but everybody seemed to know everybody else, it was like I'd walked onto the set of a soap opera

Muggy little walk done before lunch. Big black clouds gathering now so I think that’s me done for the day. Sandwich for lunch soon with chicken slices, tomato, cucumber and coleslaw.
