15 August
Yes, I know; not only did get the date wrong I got the
month wrong too. Blame it on the booze … I didn’t have any!
Yesterday we had a run over to Coventry for a couple
of hours. We had no real reason to go there but just wanted to get for a bit.
As it was we had a pretty decent afternoon, even if there was a really bad rain
storm while we were there. As it was, we were in a covered area of the city
centre when it hit so we didn’t get wet. Then we made a mistake, we went into
Druckers for a coffee. Why was it a mistake? Well, if you do see a branch of
theirs, go in and try their Black Forest Gateau and you’ll find out. It’s irresistible!
Jan has been rooting about in our safe and found a
couple of HP agreements on a second-hand Morris Oxford I bought in 1972. Why we
still have that I have no idea. I know mother used to keep loads of stuff like
that and we were always finding bits n bobs in the house when we were there.
Some of it dated back to just before Christmas 1969. It related to buying the
house. I was surprised that monthly mortgage payment at that was only £20 a
month. How things have changed eh?
Grand Theft Auto,
yet another Channel 5 programme about criminals and anti-social yobs, was aired
earlier that week. The previous one about dangerous dogs featured a woman who
claimed she would be OK if her dog ripped someone’s face off. Another earlier
show showed a man stealing a handbag from a car in the BP. This new one shows a
man stealing the keys of a car through the front a flat. The common link in
these three cases is that they perps are all from here in Dorktown. We are not
all like these three morons. But Channel 5 is behind these shows so what can we
expect? They have shown themselves to be far from fair in the way they deal
with issues, only wanting to show what paints the worst of an issue and ignore
everything else.
Ah … now that’s better! Over a month ago I bought a
set of speakers form my ‘puter and at long last I’ve got them set up. I now have
War of the Worlds playing through
them without having to wear a pair of headphones. Now I’ll get the rest of my
CDs out ready.
Here’s a nice brown trout just waiting to be caught …
But one is safe seeing as he’s in the river that runs through the centre of Bourton.
And today’s funny …
Paul,
late for an important meeting, was searching desperately for a parking spot in
a parking lot. Looking up to the heaven’s he entreated “God if you find me a
parking spot, I promise to start going to church again.” The words were barely
out of his mouth, when a spot opened up right in front of his car. Paul looked
back up, “never mind I found one.”
