Being a typist used to be considered almost as lacking aspiration, but some typists were truly impressive in the old days. I can remember discussing last night's telly with our Doreen, whilst she deciphered and corrected garbled and misspelled handwritten scrawls, as she typed them, and faster than I could have read the bloody things.
The Gaffer contained a fair representation of our Doreen - sad to see that he has left us.

Walked past the house which used to be ours until yesterdays hand-over day. Seems strange seeing someone else moving in after it being in our family for over 50 years, but after 7 months when it was first sold, a relief all the handovers in the fairly large chain finally went to plan !

Had a walk past The Bod .... Looked good inside.Hopefully not so packed tomorrow evening when we plan to pay it a visit.

I've been putting together a computer donated by my son, miles better than mine but all stripped out, I had to rebuild from the bits in mine and I can't believe I spent 3 hrs putting bits in and taking them out when it wouldn't boot up, switch the power on at the wall look at the power supply , no not spinning, take some bits out try again power on, no still dead, etc etc, repeat ad infinitum.
Do you see the missing bit?

Note to self...

Just eaten an Ice Cream from the Ice cream man....whilst tea is cooking in the oven - Im such a rebel!
I did have a little chuckle a bit ago when I heard the ice cream chimes in the distance whilst I was getting completely drenched outside whilst trying to install some weather proofing to my front door.

For the second Saturday in a row I've seen a bit group outside Bright House on their phones, obviously playing a game. Very odd.

Probably pokemon Go, there's a "Gym" there I think, (the clock) so people will hang around / try and take over the "gym" on the game.

Thought people didn't play it anymore however, the hype was silly at the start.

I am currently dealing with a mouse problem, I think they have moved in to get out of the recent cold weather.
In the last week, one or possibly more ? have consumed part of a box of Cadbury milk tray and the lower piece of seal around the freezer door.

We've just been to the Jekyll and Hyde in Birmingham where we've taken part in a gin masterclass.
Learned about the history of gin, got to taste several gin cocktails, then got to invent a cocktail of our own.

This was mine although I can't now actually remember what I put in it.

Had a thoroughly enjoyable afternoon,courtesy of a present from son to husband as a birthday gift ( and I also got the benefit).

Why, what's happening to change your plans?
Hubby announced he was too Ill to go out, but we ended up going out in the end......then horror of horrors....whilst sitting in the pub, suddenly realised I'd forgotten to put any make up on....chemists closed and co- ops being make-up up free zones resulted in hoping to avoid being seen by anyone.
Went to the Wildwood after, hubby joining a table of strangers so I couldn't hide away...had a good evening out though :)

Pukka Pie & chips from the co-,op to wash it all down now :D

Just like reading the Court Circular.
