Got up this morning and the electricity was off. No computer, no central heating and the phone seemed to be down as well. Found my mobile and the battery was flat!

Thought, well I'll have a cuppa, no electric kettle of course! Decided to go to golf but the weather turned nasty so that was off the menu. Dead loss!  >:(

Decide to sit with the wife and had a chat for a couple of hours.

She seems like a nice lady.

Did she remember your name?  :P

ABERS

Had a phone call from my cousin's wife last evening to tell that Dave was appearing on a programme called 'Stars in their Eyes', which has apparently been resurrected recently. It's the one where people imitate their favourite artist. The one where they walk off through a dry ice cloud only to reappear as their idol.

My cousin has always been a Big Band fan, Duke Ellington, Count Basey, Benny Goodman, Woody Herman and the Herd  etc.

As he walked off into the cloud he turned to the audience and said, "Tonight I'm going to be Glenn Miller".

I could tell by her tone she was a little concerned.

She's still looking for him!  8)

Looking at the zone of tuna debris surrounding the cat's food dish, and recalling the recent BBC programme about pets and the information that cat's are very tidy eaters.

Don't be too quick to blame YOUR cat. I watched a program a week ago that studied cats in a small village in the south of England. One of the more interesting finds (to me anyway)
was the discovery that if you have a cat door, a neighbour's cat may be coming in and eating the food (and making a mess maybe?). :2funny:

Oh no, it's definitely our cat. It was during the day time, and anyway our neighbour's cat is an old English sheep dog called Garp. He weighs 60 kilos, but he's not fat, just huge. And very friendly. And way too big to get through the cat flap.

My better half asked me to sort the fridge in expectation of new groceries being purchased. Apparently we THINK we like pickles, but apparently not enough to finish a jar. 2 large jars of sweet pickles, half full and 4 jars of dill pickles in various stages of fullness, ranging from full, to, only one pickle left.  ::)

Female logic - "I haven't put it anywhere, I just moved it" when asked where something I had been using went missing . .

What bemused me? Where does all the time go?

Looking at the date I realise that 60 years ago today I was getting both nervous and excited in equal measure, because tomorrow I was accepting Her Majesty's kind but firm invitation to join her merry men for a couple of years!  ???

Were you for or against "National Service" when you did your stint Alan?

I wonder what the general overall reaction would be from the youth of today if it was reinstated.

Abers I didn't realise you were old enough to do national service. I think it should be brought back maybe not for everyone but to try to instill discipline and regime into the lives of some people (male and female) who really contribute nothing to society.
