Six Quality Street left (there having been twelve a few minutes ago). I should start thinking about what to keep in the tin once they're finished.

WMSS.Originally posted by mudskipper View PostGood luck MrFitz snr.
A drizzly trip home in the X5.
It was Very Rattly Indeed and seemed to be flat out at about 35mph.
Tea/dinner was a further sampling of yesterday's roast lamb.
It was very nice.
Must go on a diet shortly because I'm getting just a bit porky.
Today, it must be said, was almost supremely tedious.When the fun stops, STOP.Comment

This evening's epic is "The Land Girls(1998)".

It's a bit of a change from Fast & Furious.

And I rather enjoyed it.
A time that's almost out of living memory.
Oddly, it was the ploughing up of the meadows that was most upsetting.
Ho hum.
Nearly as upsetting as that poor little sperm whale elsewhere.Last edited by DoctorStrangelove; 7 January 2019, 22:33.When the fun stops, STOP.Comment

Apparently the pain has gone (no word on whether there's any kind of local anaesthetic at work there) and he's sat up in bed eating ice creamOriginally posted by NickFitz View PostJust heard my Dad's out of surgery and OK

At least he's actually eating it.Originally posted by NickFitz View PostI haven't been informed, unfortunately
When he was a kid my youngest brother got hit by a car while out on his bike. It was his fault, playing silly buggers seeing how fast he could go down a hill that ended in a T-Juntion, you can fill in the rest.
After they finished putting his face back together, it was a nasty smash, he was offered ice cream when he came round from the surgery. He said he didn't want it. The nurse insisted. So did he. The nurse insisted again and spooned some into his mouth. He spat it all over her."Being nice costs nothing and sometimes gets you extra bacon" - Pondlife.Comment

In other news, Strangelove Sis has been back in her new house ripping up carpets.
Oddly enough, I rather think I'd have preferred doing that to wasting 9 hours of my life in that tuliphole Slough of Desponde.
108 working* days to go.
*However that curious concept might be defined.
