Special K this morning for me, easy to remember as I have it nearly every day.

[Mervyn and Trish]

Might get up soon. Kitchen cupboards to paint

[Stephen]

Mrs S requested a Buck's Fiz with hot cross bun breakfast. Who am I to refuse

Just been down the tip. All quiet for once.

Thought you didn't believe in tips ... just saying

[Stephen]

This tip is included in the cost of the council tax, not an extra hand out for a job and service they are already paid to provide.

[Mervyn and Trish]

Now you've set him off again Moby.

[Stephen]

Off to the Isle of Man today for funeral number four tomorrow.

That's the sad price of ageing. We have 80 addresses on our Christmas card list. Most of them couples and a lot of them our age. Unless we all live to 100 probably over 100 who will pop off in the next 30 years so an average of 3 a year. Just hope our turn doesn't come too soon. Too much still to do

[Stephen]

It does make you look at life differently, even if it is for a short while. You never know what's round the corner so make the most of it now.

Looks like the rats have moved off to their summer quarters and the bunny-proof fencing measures seem to be holding up so far. Too dry for slugs so just the pigeons and partridge to contend with at t'allotment

[Mervyn and Trish]

Hand grenades. Just saying....

[qbman1]

Tends to cause even more damage to the onions though

[towny44]

What about the good old fashioned 3 halfpenny bangers we used to throw on mischief night, they would scare the birds without damaging the veggies.

[Mervyn and Trish]

Have you got any in stock Towny?

[qbman1]

I don't want any of them 'Uddersfield Bangers thanks !

[towny44]

Hey I will have you know that Huddersfield is/was the home of Standard Fireworks and Lion Fireworks, probably the best fireworks in the world, or is that our lager?

[qbman1]

Just don't get them mixed up or you will have hell of a hangover !

[Mervyn and Trish]

Lager? Is that the drink full of bubbles and little else?

[qbman1]

It's so long since I tried one, I really can't remember

[Stephen]

And a lager

[Mervyn and Trish]

We've been in a hotel in Brum overight. Met a lonely businessman away from home alone who insisted on plying us with drink.

[qbman1]

....who invited you back to his room and.......?!

[Not so ancient mariner]

We're still waiting...............................

[qbman1]

I guess Merv & Trish are still revelling in the experience !

[Jan Rosser]

Probably still posing (for photos of course) - you know poster boy
