Took Mrs Champers' tax disc out last night, no problems. Took mine out today and the fg thing's left a heap of sticky residue on the windscreen
Other events today include getting quotes for fixing one of the ovens (packed in on Sunday cooking a roast) and the Dyson and more cheerfully, a wood burning stove for the lounge
Oh, and bought tickets for all of us to go and see Queen and Adam Lambert in January which will be Princess Junior's first concert
Oh, evening everyone

Thought they weren't available until Friday? Other events today include getting quotes for fixing one of the ovens (packed in on Sunday cooking a roast) and the Dyson and more cheerfully, a wood burning stove for the lounge

Are you on the inside track?

Balls. So close but I won't be able to make it.
Are you in Wales for long, Dicky? I'm hoping that there will be another opportunity!
Been absolutely overwhelmed with indifference for the drink up in either Cardiff or Bristol. It may have been my Brunelian errors which put members off. They couldn't bear the idea of spending an evening with a chap who thought the Great Western Railway's tunnel under the Severn was built by Brunel. And who could blame them?Are you in Wales for long, Dicky? I'm hoping that there will be another opportunity!
Never mind, SWTH (I'm never sure how to pronounce that, is it Swuth would you think?) and I had a very pleasant evening talking about all the good old times we never had together and we will do again I feel sure.
In Wales for as long as they need me. And, my word, they are picturesquely vague about their requirements.
Had the most bizarre experience earlier. We have MiL very poorly in hospital and me working and staying up in Wales unable to help with midweek visiting. Ran out of urgent work at lunchtime an asked if it would be okay to go. Left at noon, arrived home in Newbury at 2:30, regrouped, got to the hospital in Basingstoke with Mrs C at 3:30. As we were going in we met the consultant coming out. "I was just on my way to phone you to say things aren't looking good." Left Mrs C there and drove back to Newbury to fetch her sister. We arrived back at the hospital before five. She knew her daughters were there and after about half an hour quietly passed away.
The fickle gods of chance were with me today. It could have all been so different.

Thanks, iva. She was lovely. She had an uncomfortably poor upbringing with many siblings she helped to look after. She had a good marriage, produced four children of her own and had a comfortable old age. Rarely complained. 93 she was. Dodged being strafed in the lanes of Newbury by a German fighter during the war!
