Just had my Mum on the phone: it transpires that one of the polyps she had removed recently was pre-cancerous, and if they hadn't done the op it would have been too late in 12 - 18 months

However, they did do the op so, leaving aside her various other ailments, she'll be fine

That's good news

There's a dead squirrel lying in the gutter outside the pub

Don't tell AtW...

It's still there

Chilly out there tonight

When I was parking my car earlier on, I was cursing the incompetent fsckwit in the next space: driven in bonnet-first (usually the mark of somebody who doesn't know how to reverse), the back of the car on the line, the front hanging over the line into the space I was trying to occupy

I even took the car forward and re-reversed so they had at least a fighting chance of opening the driver's door, whilst making sure not to punish the person on the other side too much (although they were almost as bad - right up against the line on their passenger side).

I just saw the dimwit responsible for this atrocious parking carefully slidling (a neologism of mine inspired by the moment) into his car without opening the door too far.

It was the manager of the hotel

The door of my car that he was carefully avoiding touching is the one somebody reversed a van into a while back, so it's the only panel on the car that wouldn't be made any worse by a new dent: I assume he was more worried about hurting his car than mine

Evening Nick!
