Good morning anybody. Just spent a few minutes reading all last nights posting. Quite a cross section of humanity with joy and tragedy in equal measure.
For myself, I have tried to use a weapon of mass destruction to kill of a wasp nest, they just seem to shrug it off and keep buzzing in and out. Pesky things. I'll probably have to employ a professional exterminator.
Socco is on hols this week so I'll be popping in and out during the daytime, which is nice! Not going anywhere special but enjoying a relaxing few days pottering around, visit country houses etc., maybe even do a day trade, wow, I can't contain the excitement.
Now it is high time for a full English breakfast with all the trimmings, scrummy!

Good mood here too, posty turned up with cheque for HOF final dividend, extra crumpets for tea today, with jam.
Why do so many people got to places like Oddbins, aren't there any "proper" wine merchants around your area? You know, the ones with deep cellars and cobwebs all over the bottles. The cellars that have that indefinable aroma of goodies stored and maturing for years.

Divi's are always nice. Another nice thing about HOF shares is the bunch of discount vouchers they send with the results. Varies from tea or coffee for one to 10% off any full price item over 100, I usually manage to use them all before the next lot arrive. Have to be very selective though.
Oddbins, no options there then!

As I am in frivolous mood I shall take the opportunity to point out that our beautiful visitor Dotel, (worship the ground etc, etc) posted 8000 & 9000, always said she was an angel.

Fundy,
I can only bow to you in admiration then. The chap I use is actually retired but he continues to deal with my situation, and protect me from the sheer frustration. I would probably have taken precipitate action by now, had he not shielded me from the almost limitless questions, constantly repeated.
