    The trivia for Smiley's People informs us that the bridge from East to West, supposedly in Berlin, is, in fact, in Nottingham.

    If I forgot earlier, lunch was baked beans on Morrisons sunflower and pumpkin seed toast with 1.05 pints of Good Glengettie Tea and a cheese topped baguette.

    Whilst walking through the cemetery earlier, I noted with innerest that Elizabeth Anne Early is now late.

    On the Freecell front, today's score was 92% whilst the running average remains at a solid 82% as expected.

    I'll need to get a good deal better before it shifts by much.

        I had a Wispa. Then I had to get up and go to the kitchen to put the wrapper in the bin. This proved to be the straw that broke the camel’s back, and while I was up I put my shoes and coat on and went down to Wilko’s (about halfway to the Chinese) and bought a wastepaper basket for the living room - something I’ve been meaning to do ever since I moved here in 2004

        Turns out it was worth waiting fifteen years though, as it was reduced from £4 to £2.50

        I notice Sainsbury’s are selling exactly the same bin but in their case it’s reduced from £6.99 to £4.65

                  I oncve sold car seats on ebay. I would never buy them there - you can never be sure they were not in an accident.

                  The seats I sold were not an accident. The kids may be an accident. But not the seats.
