      The other day, an item of post arrived (a ladies' clothing catalogue) for an address a couple of streets away. I wasn't sure why it had ended up here until I realised that in the incoming part of the postcode, it had the same digit as mine and the two letters were shifted one character to the right on a QWERTY keyboard. So somebody at the sorting office has placed their hands on the keyboard one key off, and who knows how many bits of post went to the wrong place as determined by the arrangement of the keyboard

      Anyway, the road it should have gone to is only round the corner near the park and the house is near this end of it, so I popped round and put it through their door. And continuing on brought me to the bakery, where I was able to get a couple of sausage rolls for lunch

      And as I was out and about and it was only a few yards further, I popped into Sainsbury's Local for some hot cross buns

      Sunny out but it still feels a bit chilly. Pleasant enough despite that, though

            It's a beautiful sunny afternoon. Just the sort of weather to sit inside with the curtain drawn to reduce screen glare.

            Lunch was provolone cheese and porchetta in a warmed piadina flat bread

                Afternoon coffee, accompanied by a hot cross bun, toasted and buttered

                While I was preparing that, a pigeon and a magpie flew down onto roughly the same bit of the lawn. Then a whole load more pigeons swooped down. I thought for a moment they were having a go at the magpie, but that seemed a bit taken aback and managed to make its way to another bit of the lawn, while the pigeons all seemed to have a big scrap among themselves. No idea what was going on there

                  So the staff are clearly bored in this Air France lounge at CDG - they are wandering around handing people glasses of champagne.

                  you usually have to walk to a bar to get some.

                      It’s so hard - I’ve just booked flights on May 5th to ensure we avoid all the coronation rubbish.

                      I do love KLM where a trip to Paris via Amsterdam is cheaper than going to Amsterdam itself
