Moving away from Donald…

Cyclists, despite being told to do so, who fail to sound a bell as they approach others from behind on a shared walking/cycle path.

Ah, Lewis’s - a real pity shops like that are few and far between these days.

i think almost everyone relied on hp or even renting in the 70s and 80s.
Rented TVs, catalogs used for buying lots of things and paying them up.

Back in the day I used to work for Radio Rentals as a debt collector! It was OK to collect a nominal payment at the door, until I had to disconnect the set, as they called it. I hated it, imagine the scene, a young mother with children, "I've come to disconnect your set as we haven't received rental payments", to then walk out with the TV leaving them in floods of tears!
Needless to say, I didn't stay long in that job!

Moving house. 15 days to go and the massive declutter has started.

Put a load of stuff on FB marketplace earlier. Jeez! It’s been like a Boxing Day sale…

Currently banked over €1,000 selling just bits and pieces. Sofas, sofa bed, computer desk & a virtually unused king sized bed going tonight.

Clipping my toenails in the living room and only finding five, even though I heard them land nearby.
(In the absence of my wife, of course).

We suffer badly with Spanish shrink moths. They are migratory, and like with you they appear every winter.

I had a Saturday job in Lewis's while I was in the 6th form in the late 1970s.
I still have my name badge.

The exchange rate. The volatility in the market has cost me over €200 this month compared to a month ago.

We house hunted a month before the B vote. I transferred the cash before the vote and saved thousands.

How the nice weather brings absolute bawbags out. The road down to my golf club is a narrow 12th century street that has double yellows down either side pretty much all the way down to the beach. At least 20 cars parked on the double yellows making it incredibly difficult to get past, all so they don’t have to walk a quarter mile more from the main car park.

Lovely to see a van take a Porsche Cayenne’s wing mirror clean off though, even smashed the passenger window in the process. Guess they shouldn’t have parked at the narrowest part of the road.
