Just back from an overnight stay in Finchley via St Albans to see friends. Couple of beers in The Cock and a M & S dine in combo in the oven, chicken forestiere & dolphinose potatoes, sticky toffee pudding to follow. Wine is already being taken.
Not the Cock but I was in the Olde Fighting Cocks and nine other St Albans pubs with Roger Protz and several other friends on a day out in November 2018.

Wish Mrs T liked pork.
To be fair, the others don't really love it,they tolerate it.

My favourite is pork in cider sauce (with apples)......I'm not even going to mention what the carer calls it.....make your own jokes up there forum

I have just come back from dining out south of Wolverhampton (The Manor House of Whittington if anyone cares) and unless diesel has dropped 10p a litre today then Stafford prices are even more of a rip off than it already is. 158.9 at the Sainsbury's in Wolverhampton. The Tesco in Old Trafford was 160.9 on Saturday. Pathetic.

Just had the problem tooth pulled.

It took an hour, it really did not want to leave my mouth.

If there was anyone with a fear of dentists waiting in reception I’m sorry, my muffled screaming probably didn’t help too much.
Just had the problem tooth pulled.
You may have said elsewhere, but can I ask where did you go for treatment please?

Last night, I heard a noise outside at around nine o'clock. It turned out to be my local councillor, calling to inform me of impending roadworks starting today. He felt obliged to call, as I had failed to attend the second nearest acceptable pub on Sunday night, where he will always be found, deep into the weekly card game.

The work is the final extension of the footpath on this side of the road, out to the speed sign, a few hundred yards. It's been "on the cards" for a good while, but wasn't worth pursuing in reality, until the drain job was done and proven to be successful.

Today is just preparatory work, measurements, signage, etc. - I don't expect to be inconvenienced much, but I may be required to express my preferences over a few variabilities about the entrance to here.

My councillor is never likely to be found in my ward. He doesn't live here or know anything about us. Plus he is a monumental arsehole. Allegedly.

My councillor is far more likely to be found than my MP.
But are they likely to be any more effective?

As a general rule, councillors in the UK are a bunch of useless, publicity-seeking, self-agrandising arseholes. Much like just about everyone else in politics, whatever party they claim to represent.

There are one our two exceptions but I don't believe there are any in Staffordshire.

They most certainly couldn't be less effective.

"It has been a wild afternoon full of strange omens.
I dreamt that a large eagle circled the room three times and then got into bed with me and took all the blankets.
And then I saw that it wasn’t an eagle at all but a large black snake.
Also Duncan’s horses did turn and eat each other."


I think that sums my day quite well.
