I don’t own any pyjamas! Good morning everyone.
It’s been raining non stop from around 9pm last night so it’s wet like out there.
Stomach scan this afternoon for old Magoo. Maybe I had better buy some pyjamas!
Glad you’re having a good time up there hammo. 95p fora bit of ham is a bit rich though!
Joint tax return is being delivered by Madame M this morning to our local ‘impots’ branch. Another year of no tax bill hopefully.
I thought there had been a docu/soap done about Trivton magna already?

Correct, but it was only available on TrivBox. We need to think of the wider audience and revenue potential. Let's be frank, the Greenfield's home made own brand commercial, Where Does All That Green Stuff Come From? - while quaint and, to some extent, heartwarming - might not even be understood by anyone from further afield than Trivingham Without.It’s been raining non stop from around 9pm last night so it’s wet like out there.

Morris dancing is no laughing matter. It's not for the faint of heart.
I've never done it but many years ago I played assorted squeezeboxes and sometimes the mandolin for a Morris side when I lived in Englandshire.
I have witnessed blacked eyes, cauliflower ears, flattened noses, burst lips, lost teeth, broken bones and blood drawn aplenty.
I think drink may have been taken.
Great stuff. Makes you proud to be British.

Morning all.
Suns out but sky looks dark over the back.
Not sure why but I didn't think I did much yesterday but I was hurting yesterday afternoon and had to take pain killers.
Sod it, recovery is so slow.
I did spot where the damp is coming from under our front window, in a spot where the gas meter is, so a point where the wall is only 6 inches thick rather than 18 inches. It's really low, so must have a spot outside. I repainted it all with damp paint.
We may try a garden centre, and I may entice Mrs B to help me replant two rose bushes from the pots they've outgrown into a spot in the garden. We tried a garden centre yesterday but it poured with rain when we got there so we gave up.

I had no idea that spkjeyhead was so advanced in years. All those runs and sums must be highly benefishoil. 
Gude Moaneve Tuesday Trivialites!
It's grey and drizzly here oop norf, but hey! at least we had a good summer.
This morning's (negative) Elbow Test was brought to you courtesy of our sponsors, Battert & Brassington & Co. Ltd of Trivton, Purveyors of Finest Quality Elbow Grease and Specialised Body Lubricants & Liniments for the Discerning Gentleman.
You're probably wondering why I am up and about so early this morning...
Well, to be honest, so am I.
But don't worry: when I find out, I'll let you know.
I fancy a nice pair of kippers for breakfast, but I have none in stock, so I'll have to settle for the nearest alternative, which is weetabix and maple & pecan crispy crunch
"No, I said "pecan", not "Pelican".
God forbid.
Can you even begin to imagine the carnage that would ensue?
I thought not!
Penrose has been remarkably quiet of late.We must be due for a violent psychotic rampage any time about now!
Carry on and please don't have gnightmares...
Hammo, enjoy your last day on Skye, and please can you procure for me a bottle of Talisker's fine elixir? I really shouldn't but it's so damned tasty...
Meanwhile, I wonder how psi is doing on Route 66?

TRIVELOGUE
A trivelogue is a truthful account of an individual's trivial experiences, usually told in the past tense and in the first person.
It's taken a while but we have been approached by an independent TV production company who want to produce a pilot episode to pitch to TV companies.
It was only a phone call at this stage and the production company representative sounded a lot like Battert when he talks posh.
I was still in my pyjamas.

Where is the scope for a bit of poetic licence?
Why not loosen the bounds just a little to allow for flights of Trivial fancy, such as we have done in the past, with the old Sopwith, the Lysander and the good old Sunderland?
And please don't take your pyjamas off.
Some of us aren't ready for such a reveal.
Good moaning, one an dawl!
Another gloomy day down here in Trivton-sur-Mer, the sea is doing its best to glisten, except for the sewagey bits, obviously.
Yesterday was a success in my world - almost 20,000 steps, and a freshly cleaned car, which is probably what caused the overnight rain. I'm being slightly less ambitious today, and settling for a modest 12,000 or so steps, and a trip to Exbury, on the edge of the Beaulieu Donkey Squadron's territory, to claim a nannual membership, courtesy of my sister. The gardens are spectacular, with many plants brought back from foreign climes by the Rothschild family many decades ago, when such things were fashionable among the upper echelons of British society. It's a lovely place to visit, and has a steam railway and a cafe selling marvellous home-made cakes.
More later. Possibly.

Good luck with yer stummick scan, Magoo. What have you been swallowing?
Please don't worry about the price of the ham, it's actually only 45p.
Good luck to Lady C with her catamaran operation.
I've had one of those a while ago, and I was surprised how relatively painless the procedure turned out to be.
( No sense: no feeling, as some say. )
And afterwards she will be able to practise talking like a pirate.
ie: "Arrrrh, Jimlad! Shiver me fo'c's'l!. Splice me futtocks!"

Today's Trivia - The Sunderland Mark IV was so extensively modified from the Mk III that it was given a new name, the Seaford. It took so long to develop that it was beaten into production by the Sunderland Mark V and then the war ended. The prototype and six production Seafords were converted for civilian use as Solents and flown by BOAC and TEAL when new and later sold on to Aquila Airways.
My old dad flew in a Sunderland before bucket lists had been invented. I can remember the Saunders-Roe Princesses cocooned at Calcot Spit down Bobbers neck of the woods.
Right, I'm really going now to spend the day attending to Mrs C and the first of her catamaran operations.
Good morning All, except Puau, to whom Good Evening.
A trifle moist at 55°N so I shall retire to the House of Blunders to turn more old rubbish into new rubbish.
Hopeful that the new battery for the Dyson might turn up today.
There's a bit of a backlog of bedlinen to be ironed, so that ought to keep me out of mischief.
Good luck to Mrs C today. The Memsahib had cataracts mended some time ago and has never looked back. Although she sometimes looks askance and who can blame her?

If only Short's /Saunders-Roe had had the foresight to build the Sunderland Mk V in 1938, we could have avoided all those long years of senseless hostilities...Edited by glenrobbo on Tuesday 14th May 09:09
