As you know, it's my Rhythmic Gymnastics night. Someone has seen fit to hide my ribbons.
Found a picture of the Trivton Under Lyme seniors guymnastics team practicing their simultaneous triple backflip with a half pike dismount, luckily it doesn't show the following carnage if several senior gymnasts tangled in the resulting heap!!!

If they are not returned by quarter past six I shall go to the B&L dressed like this and I will not be responsible for the consequences.
I don't know where the ribbons are, last time I saw them Lucido was trying to stick them to the side of his car?Anyhow, if you're visiting the B&L be mindful that Lucy's working tonight. She still has a soft spot for you.

When I checked, copies of an aeronautical text book of my dad's were selling for around £300 on Amazon. Or, rather, not selling as they remained there day after day. So I put it on eBay with a starting price of £50. Almost immediately I had an enquiry from someone asking if I would change the auction to include a Buy-It-Now price. Having replied that as I had put it up for auction I would persevere with the auction I settled back to watch a week of feverish bidding. Nothing happened. The book was printed in 1973 and as far as I can see hasn't been reissued. It's not everyone's cup of tea. A handful of people looked and three people put it on their watch list. Last night, around ten o'clock, after six days, twenty three hours and fifty eight minutes there was an opening bid of £50. Was the feverish activity about to start? No. It went for £50. Okay, pleased with that. This morning, I opened an email from the "would you include a Buy-It-Now price" man. He asked if the book had sold as he was called away from his desk and couldn't bid. If it hadn't sold, he would still be interested.
"Couldn't bid"? You had a week to bid. Seven whole days. That's how it works. If you wait until the last few minutes to see if there's any interest you stand a good chance of missing it. eBayers, I tell you.

Hello chaps sorry for my unscheduled absence, we had an issue late last night and a very upset wife today.
Dicky it's not unusual for ebayers to behave that way, we sold a used BlackBerry Q10, we said it was locked to Virgin and we wouldn't post abroad, first bid on it, America!!! Once sold the buyer asked how to unlock it as they couldn't get it to work on Vodafone!!! The mind truly boggles!!!
Glad to hear nurse Cleavage and Dr Pokeyfingers we're able to bring you back from the brink of extinction Lucido, we were drawing straws for who would be the first to try the kiss of life, I volunteered!!!

Blimey, looks like we're on a bus route today - nothing for hours...
Hope things are getting sorted Bobbers, we're on a bit of a mission visiting Mrs B's dad. He's not a well chap at the mo. Lucido in the sick bay too? Oh bother.
Anyhow, that reminds me - Matron's been looking for you Lucido. Got some sort of poultice thing apparently.

Jolly good, the run has probably helped you. She can certainly still move at a brisk pace.I did a quick runner......

By, it's bloody chilly here (North East). I think a nice curry might be in order for tonight.

Doctor Pokeyfingers is not a real Doc BTW more of a potions and remedies sort of quack.
Does a bit of Voodoo at weekends too.
Yes I saw him in his full voodoo witch doctor regalia a couple of weeks ago, thought the shrunken head rattle was particularly Good, though to be fair it was only a dolls head full of nuts and bolts!!!Does a bit of Voodoo at weekends too.

Yes thanks Bomma, Mrs Bobbers is less stressed and after a kip this afternoon less tired, it's both mentally and emotionally draining at the moment, hope Mrs B's dad is on the mend soon!!Hope things are getting sorted Bobbers, we're on a bit of a mission visiting Mrs B's dad.
