Tell us something really trivial about your life Volume 40

Dicky, would you like E to iron the bugs out as well?

When my grandfather returned from the First War with three stripes, two wound stripes and Military Medal and Bar he didn't receive the hero's welcome he had been expecting at home. Before he could enter the house my great gran made him strip off. She didn't want lice in the house. His protestations that all his kit had been boiled fell on deaf ears. Sure enough, she found lice in the seams. It was an occupational hazard having your mum run the local laundry.

Why were they towing the old Temeraire up the Thames at dawn, anyway?

She wanted one last night on the town.

Radio silence from me commencing soon. It's our 26th Wedding Anniversary today so we're off to Home Dainties in Trivthorne for a fry up.

Just before I shut down, if the Bobbers haven't set off yet, advise them to go down the East coast. Lovely. All the way down to Kirkcaldy then cross the Firth and take the Highway to Hull.

You just wanted to say Highway to Hull.
That's true, I did.
Does the road south of Kirkcaldy even go to Hull?
No idea.

Well, that was very nice. Tea at the Vineyard, courtesy of Stepdaughter #2.



Very nice. Very rich. Kept blacking out.

Not really.



Marvellous to think that twenty six (26) years ago we got married on Mrs Bobbers' Third (3rd) Birthday.

Happy Birthday Mrs Bobbers.



Thanks to everyone for your felicitations.

Good morrow fellow Trivialities everywhere
I was unsure whether to use a or a this morning, took ages to get off to sleep and didn't sleep particularly well, but I did at least manage around 6 hours so it's not all bad.

It's a long drive day today, we are however stopping at Moffat on our way through to Durham, we haven't been to Moffat for a few years.

It's not 'stopping at Moffat' it's 'dropping Moffat'.

Must I do everything?

I’ve pre heated the Lysander!
Where’s Dicky? I think he has the flight manifest.

I'm collecting the Ground Crew in the 3 tonner. Nightmare.

[DickyC]

Can we parade through the town to Volume 41?

We could have made banners and things if only we had had some warning.

[DickyC]

Unfortunately I haven't managed to collect everyone. Bobbers, could you do the shutdown here and the blackstart on 41?

You have the conn, Mr Bobbers.

Just burying Volume 40 under the patio as agreed.
