Halfway through Strands. Two words I can't get. Beginning to suspect American shenanigans.

Not really, it's just that now he has reasons. Although good characters often take over the writing.

I made a right casserole of trimming my nails yesterday. Must tidy them up today

Waiting for herself to get home before tea. Looking forward to it. That first morning cuppa, marvellous.

Right, puzzles...

It is rainy, though. I didn't wake up at all last night though, most unusual for me. How are you, sunshine?
The 37th Wombat ππ (@wombat37.bsky.social)
Quick glance at the news headlines. Same old depressing shit as always. *sigh*

No idea. It's not particularly stormy now.

Wow. That was some sleep. Good morning, all. Good morning, sundry.

Wow. I love that.

Rolled up, the single fitted easily in the car. (we have two single mattresses on a double bed, so we can each have the firmness we prefer)

Vesteroy. Pocketed springs. Far more comfortable than my old rubbish.
The 37th Wombat ππ (@wombat37.bsky.social) reply parent
Good mattresses.
The 37th Wombat ππ (@wombat37.bsky.social) reply parent
Just got a new mattress from IKEA. It's smashing.

I just couldn't raise any interest in the modern royals. Tenth and eleventh century royals, that's a different matter entirely.

I've not seen any of those, no.

Sometimes, to calm myself down, I take a look at the Historical Scale Models feed, and it always does the trick.

Is he the one playing Carl? I've never seen him before.
The 37th Wombat ππ (@wombat37.bsky.social) reply parent
That's alright then. As long as you didn't give him a chocolate finger.
The 37th Wombat ππ (@wombat37.bsky.social) reply parent
That all depends on what sort of biscuit.

Do you mean the emergency alert test next Sunday at 3? Or that Trump is going to make 'An Announcement' tomorrow?

Don't get me wrong, I'm having a go only at the FA. Up the Mariners all the way to Wembley!

We also self-reported, and had verbal clearance to field the player.

Correct, he was!

I remember Tony Haygarth. I'd forgotten the earlier series, though, thanks for that.

Ah, then hurrah for Rye and Ravilious :-) Your cards *always* lift my spirits, no matter how low I might be. If mine can achieve a fraction of that down your end, then I'm chuffed to little mintballs.

Why do these people insist on telling everyone they're thinking of leaving? Why not just leave? Cos they're tossers, I know.

It was. It suddenly popped into my mind. I really enjoyed it.

At least episode 1 is on YouTube, I'm told.

I'm not usually a fan of police dramas - still not sure bout this one.

Does anyone remember a late - seventies Roy Clarke sitcom called 'Rosie'? Is it available to stream anywhere?

I've had varying reports. So far, not bad, though I'm not a big lover of police drama.

Just watched the first 25 mins of Dept. Q episode 1. I'm quite intrigued. I'll probably watch the second 35 minutes at some point.
The 37th Wombat ππ (@wombat37.bsky.social)
Announcement? What? Beg pardon? As usual these days, I feel like I'm out of all the loops. And that's fine, actually. It's far better for my peace of mind these days to not have a scooby what's going on.

Have a nap with pleasant dreams.

Started having neckache since I began using a third pillow again. That idea's out of the window then.

This smells very much of inventing a problem so you can say you've solved it. And why "clamp down"? Why such violent language all the time?

The correct answer was "I wouldn't have a problem. The people housed there are no more likely to offend than anyone else, and we have systems in place to process them efficiently and remove those who shouldn't be here. These systems are reducing the backlog such that we will phase out hotel use"

It gets worse- "Starmer is asked how he would feel if a hotel housing asylum seekers was at the end of his street. 'I completely get it,' Starmer says, adding: 'Local people by & large do not want these hotels in their towns, in their place, and nor do I. I'm completely at one with them on that.' "
