Good morning all from a very rainy outpost F.
Quite possibly Magoo, it depends on whether she's accommodating or not!!!

Good morneve everybody!

Bright and sunny here in the Deep Sarf, which is nice, and I'm off to Sarfampton with my sister and brother-in-law for a quick shopping sortie to get some essential supplies of Nespresso pods and some Sky streaming devices, to make use of my new full-fibre broadband.

It's so fast that I typed this before I've even woken up this morning.

Sorry to hear about family-based woes of illnesses and unemployment. It's very unsettling for all concerned, and those around them. My son had to go to Birmingham yesterday, so he's doing some hard yards. He's safely home and recovering now.

No international rugby, cricket or F1 this weekend. I don't know what to do, although a nice long walk might be in order, weather permitting. According to last night's forecast we could be back in Siberia by Monday, when Little Miss O'Logical and I will be at Scumwharf, so that she can transfer a large part of her annual bonus to a Mr Ralph Lauren.

Have a great time in York, Bobbers and Mrs Bobbers. May the weather gods smile on you.

Laters,...

Morning All. Have a great break, Bobbers!

Daughter to the doctor this morning. Might book an appointment for myself while I'm there. I really don't like going, as I feel like I'm wasting their time as I'm sure it's nothing; those nothings are beginning to add up now, so better safe than sorry! At least I can waste (hopefully!) only one appointment, instead of several if I were to go in for each nothing that's cropped up over the last 6 months.

Sun's out; hedgerow birdies are chirping away. Nice start to a springtime Friday morning.

Pigeons are at it again, mind.

Here's an interesting bit of trivia for a friday morning:

On this day in 1834 William Morris the influential Victorian designer was born.
The south transept window of the church of St Michael and All Angels in Lyndhurst, Hampshire was made in the William Morris workshop. It is thought that the bearded man being grabbed by the scruff of his collar in the lower left window was a representation of William Morris.

I'm so happy you ignored the obvious double entendre biggrin

Bright and sunny here this morning but clouding over slightly. Off to Folly Farm this morning with the grandkids. Lots of animals, it's more like a zooo, rides, a vintage funfair. Good fun biggrin

Excellent. We have Morris curtains in the second bedroom, and there's Broadway tower thats well worth a visit as it's Morris home. He had a bath on the turret roof!

Latest on things with he who must be shamed, is my daughters car has been dumped somewhere as it ran out if fuel (as well as having no tax, mot, insurance) and the last fuel he put in it he didn't pay for (because card declined) and so he left his driving licence saying he'd return that day, that was about 10 days ago.

So at some point I also have to recover her car, get it all legal so she can get to work next week!

Did you know?

To be made to “kiss the gunner's daughter” is to be tied over a cannon (the gunner's daughter) in order to be beaten, usually with a cat of nine tails. The phrase dates back at least to 1785 but is probably older. Sir Walter Scott uses the phrase in his book Redgauntlet.
