Today's trivia. I have been so sedentary they have resorted to analysing time lapse photography to see if I'm still alive.

Oh, dear. The Towers has accidentally been awarded a Michelin Star. The switchboard has been jammed all morning with lunch enquiries. Well, the phone on the desk in Reception keeps ringing anyway. What on earth shall we do? We could try and blag it I suppose. There's some of last night's game pie left over and two packets of Vesta Prawn Curry. That'll do, won't it?

You have the basis of a possible mulligatawny soup there; there's a bottle of tabasco in the snug left over from tequila night, if Battert's secret stash of Heinz Big Soup is intact we're cooking with gas.

I've got some Angels Delight I could rustle up for Desert to help with the menu? If we copy that place I dined at in November near Guildford that hasn't changed its menu since 1976 we might be onto a winner.

Mulligatawny soup and Angel Delight! We're in with a shout.

Oh, hang on. Some of these people may be a bit sophisticated. I know! There's a bag of Twiglets left over from Christmas. It was opened but Mrs B folded the bag over with a clothes peg. They'll be fine.

Should I ring the Food Critic of the Trivton Herald?

Good idea get Gutsy McCreosote on it but watch out for the wafers they don't agree with him.

Woo. Two days off - in a row! Mucho stuff to the tip, particularly the ruins of the old patio doors and offending brickwork alteration plus more than half the old decking that was standing in the way of progress. Borrowed an elderly smiley face Transit from work and yesterday loaded it right up. It took nearly all day. How's that for efficiency and whatnot?

smile

"Sorry, sir," said the guardian of the tip, "I'm going to have to turn you away. That is a commercial vehicle over two metres in height."
"Sigh."

frown

Drove home, drove the Jag to step daughter #2's house, borrowed her A4 estate, drove home and today made five trips to and fro the tip.

Together we'll save the planet.

It would be the option a lot of people would take, I'm certain.
