Breaking News!


IT’s not been a bad day today. I’ve been at work, but it’s been sensible hours 7-4. I’ve finished work and headed to the pub for a beer, and it’s nice and relaxing. I’m enjoying a pint of Fuller’s ESB.


I know about petrichor, and I’ve smelt it before. However, I am sitting in my front room, with the windows open, and headphones on. I got this really overpowering smell of dampness, and then I realised it had been gently spitting with rain outside. I’ve just never smelt it that strongly before, and never whilst indoors.


I don’t often listen to the radio these days, but I’m tuned into one of my favourites right now: WCOO 105.5 The Bridge, from Charleston, SC, USA.


Having worked late shifts for the past week or so, I haven’t had the opportunity to have one single refreshing beer. However, I’m just rectifying that right now, as I’ve just opened a bottle of Fuller’s London Pride. I was going to the local, but I had a few things to do indoors, and I’m looking to have a few ales at the pub this evening, with Vinyl Night.


That was fun, sorting out some 45s for Vinyl Night this evening. 9 records. A real mix. Everly Bros, Mink DeVille, Kim Weston, Free, The Fortunes, Pecy Faith, Paul Evans, England Dan & John Ford Coley, and ELO.


First of two days off. I got up late again after catching up on some sleep. This evening is Vinyl Night at the Mason’s Arms, but Kathy has an evening dental appointment now, which has thrown a spanner in the works a bit. We shall see how it all pans out. More important to get her toothache sorted!


Go on. You just know you’d love to try these!

MPs are trying to push Thames Water into a ‘cooperative model’.

Basically, they have a babysitter from the State who sits with them until they behave, then in a few years it is back to business as usual.

NO, end the con, Nationalise.
