I’m allergic to asparagus brings me out in hives so none for me thanks. I’m off out to do some shopping as I have nothing for my packer for the museum tomorrow.

We’re off to see Al Murray tonight.

Bobbers that MINI must be a large bag of spanner’s to need a radio that big

He has deliberately filled the car with hiffy equipment, to the point where there is no space for luggage. This is so that, when he and Mrs Bobbers spend time away, their luggage goes separately.

A gentleman's luggage always precedes him.

Mrs Bobbers refuses to travel long distances in Ivor after we took him to Cornwall last year, she's accepted she'll have to travel in him for the GITTBWG (Great Inaugural Trivial Towers Buxton Weekend Gathering) in June, but for holidays she insists on taking Peanut, therefore boot space became irrelevant!

Go and by that Lotus you alway wanted then!

Mushroom risotto for tea, with wild garlic

Sitting eating in the falafel place, it's a regular pilgrimage.

Mrs B is now buying gifts, probably the entire production run of the cities chocolates for a year.

I thought I'd been quiet restrained in my approach, I actually left some space in the boot this time!!!

I distinctly recall you saying that that space had been left to install the Garrard 401 turntable when the gimbal mechanism for it finally arrives on the slow boat from China.

Well, obviously I've left room for it!!!
I'm not a complete moron............some bits are missing.

Thanks. Remind me of buying a Japanese import car, why don't you? Specify car, dealer finds one, we agree terms, he buys it at auction, I give elderly Audi to Step Daughter #2. Enquire when my new car can be expected. "Three or four months. Depends." Buy an elderly Golf to tide us over.



Slow boat from Japan. Eejit.

Just checking in to make sure you're all behaving yourselves and to report that nothing much has happened.
It's not even raining, despite me hanging out a load of washing.

Good choice of mushroom varieties there Byker.
Are they all sustainably hand-reared under fungi-friendly conditions, or are they factory-farmed, kept in the dark with st constantly heaped upon them like most of the working classes these days? stake indeed!
Buy ceps, they are a favourite of Magoo's!

Carry on, and watch out for the Trippel!

[Byker28i]

Instead of boom boxes, I'm filling the boot with tripple d'anvers

Saw him at the Mayflower in Southampton a few years ago, was absolutely hilarious!

[Byker28i]

Enjoy Hammo, I saw him a few years ago and he was very funny then. Hope he still is.

Popped into a thrift shop, bought a couple of bits.
The local Antique/bric a brac shop always has some interesting items, nearly bought a few items, then spotted the piles of classic magazines, mens health, vogue, and...

It's incredibly annoying!!!

I've just ordered a ticket for the Collecting Cars coffee run to Bicester heritage centre on the 19th May!!!

[glenrobbo]

I have none of the annoyances, frustrations or configurations of such devices, for I shun the very use of those tecknerlological instruments of unmindfulness.

I fear such things would drive me to do things I would almost certainly regret.

I prefer to sit here watching Sky Arts Freeview Ch 36 which is currently televising a documentary about the making of Pink Floyd's landmark album "Wish You Were Here".

Much better than getting into a violent rage of furious frustration and hurling electronic torture devices through the bloody Windows.

And breathe.

RIP Sid.

We have a multi page scanner that's brilliant, but directly connected via USBto our main computer. It was about £750 and was being thrown out by work when we were bought out so I had it.

You wouldn't be a million miles away that day then, think that is about 60 miles or so away.
Did you decide on a different t shirt design in the end?

Still a work in progress slopes!

I did a 10 minute Joe Wicks kettlebell work out on Friday afternoon, my legs feel like someone's been hitting them with a bat!!!

[spikeyhead]

Time for bed,

I've done parkrun, patio grouting and installed a willow screen round the bins so they now look tidy.

I've also prep'd lunch for tomorrow, brother and mum are coming.
