'A 79 year old has died in Ashworth hospital'

Made my day. There is a God after all.

I've just eaten my pasta lunch which is about 95% garlic as it turns out (I over garlicked it last night...).

I'd like to take this opportunity to apologise to the guy I'm interviewing in half an hour in what, as it seems, is the smallest meeting room we have.

It's very traumatic to lose a friend, more so than family at times

From what I understand, and I don't want to upset Adenauer; I think he was a Marshall trying to warn a group of bikes that there was an oil spill on a dangerous corner frown

Looks like its straight to the B&L for the 'Who Dares Gins' evening until closing, and then after the fight off to get a tattoo and a curry. Classic '80's stuff of leg-end.

I love hot weather, but today I'm rather glad that earlier I decided to dig out my fan and give it a clean (take off and clean guard and clean fans of dust). tonight is feeling rather warm so I have the fan proped up next to my window to suck in fresh air from outside instead of pushing the same air in my bedroom around.

From Swinton Insurance brokers:
We are writing to confirm that unfortunately we are unable to provide you with a renewal quote for your Contents Insurance and therefore your current cover, arranged through Swinton, will cease when your current policy expires on 31st May 2017.

Confirm? First I've heard of it. I'd better ring them up.

Swintons are going mainstream, or so they tell me, to try to keep up with the internet insurers. I've stayed with them because my Home and Contents insurance, following the underfloor leak claim, has become awkward and expensive.

They did however give me contact details for the insurers themselves who took on the cover direct.

From Swintons yesterday:
We're sorry you've decided not to renew your Contents Insurance with us...

Fcensoredk off. Just fcensoredk off.

I went to bed last night incredibly early,before 9pm.

I think I'm trying to claim back lost sleep from weekend,I got up at 4.30am on Friday and arrived at my Belgium destination at 3am Saturday after going first to Germany and then having some "navigation issues".

I then had 3 hours sleep,in the cramped Fiat......irkedsleepnono

Passing within a few feet of the entrance to the local garage and convenience store I chose to be the work's collective conscience and not stop to buy chocolate, crisps or pork scratchings.

No one seems to be interested in your saintliness there, Dicky.

T'would appear so.

Just delivered an Audi A5 to Ducklington. It reminded me of a Spaniard I worked with in the Seventies who added, "lington," to words to make them sound more English.

During the morning, beaming ftom ear to ear, he might announce, "Lunchtime, we will go to publington."

Meant for Adenauer.

I assume you heard about my epic failure to get to Dollendorf Friday night from Lee or Clare .....confused

I went up the road through Wimbach and heading to Barweiler when I decided I was lost and turned back to Adenau.

Just looked at a better map view ,if i'd kept going I'd have got to the 258 that I needed.

I went through Quiddelbach twice trying to find the right road and got hopelessly lost and just drove all the way to Mettet

in Belgium instead........DOH !......silly
