Morning All!
It's Monday 2024 Week 28
Yesterday: Bit of a physical battle getting to church, stonking headache, but as with last Sunday's pains improved after I got to the front to share. Big sleep in afternoon. Quiet evening.
Today: OFF TO LONDON! Liz and I are going to fetch some stuff from Mum's house and celebrate our anniversary this week by eating out at some of our favourite places :-)
Pray Day goes OK, Sinuses, CMT, tummy and Head cope OK. Pray we travel safely. Pray I sleep well tonight, getting off to sleep promptly. Pray we stay protected from the virus.
Have a good day, stay safe & well.

I have a certificate to prove it and photographic evidence
This morning has been spent packing stuff at Mum's house to go to the garage when we get home tomorrow. 3 boxes of Mags - and 3 boxes worth to be junked :-(
3 boxes of Star Wars toys including the fabled Land of the Jawas, which is slightly worse for wear. 2 X-Wing guns missing - grrr
Big box of Spectrum games which Burns is welcome to rifle through when next over

No, you met Mrs Phil at a London Meet before then, which I think was the one where the Captain Squark photo was taken and Elliot was poorly. At Transforce 2004 she was off at Blenheim Palace acquiring hamsters

What's Big Phil got against the Big Apple? No, no. ManhatTAN is the Big Apple. Phil is taking ManhatTEN, which is a small village just off the A419 north of Swindon, somewhere between Siddington and Cricklade. It has a post office, a duckpond and a cow with a dodgy leg. Martin |

Ok, so today did not start as planned. I thought I might wake up early, but that wasn't supposed to mean 02:35hrs with a splitting headache. Apparently the effects of getting back on my SSRI's after missing Thursday nights tablets were a little harder to shake off than expected.
End result was I ended up not getting up until 10:25 this morning. Still, I have got in a nice walk out across the green space to my new favourite cafe for a sit out at a table with coffee, cake and three chapters of my book. This afternoon is going to be about reorganising the bedroom to make space to start assembling the replacement for my disintegrating chest of drawers. I have a pile of numbered Ikea boxes in the living room that look like some sort of sisyphean LEGO set awaiting assembly.
(There's a new bedside cabinet in there as well. Because I need to take the table that is beside the bed out and out it in the living room, so that I can out the table that is in the living room in the back-room so that I have somewhere in my new study/reading room on which to put my coffee mug...Organising this house at the moment is like that DS9 episode with the trading to get what you need to trade to get what you need to trade for what you need to trade for what you want... Great Material Kingdom help me!)

Morning All!
It's SUNDAY - Praise the Lord!
Yesterday: Haircut in the morning, delayed thanks to me coughing while taking tablets and getting half disolved tablets stuck in back of noses which was not a fun sensation. On the plus side I am breathing very clearly now! L and J both out at L's Mum's Morning/Lunch. Plan to make it out for dinner at 7:30 went well.... till we realised at 6:45 that we should have been there at 6:30 but we had a great time and some lovely food when we got there. Body lasted till 9pm
Today: Church. And very little else.
Pray Day goes OK, Sinuses, CMT, tummy and Head cope OK. Pray I sleep well tonight, getting off to sleep promptly. Pray we stay protected from the virus.

Have you tried using self sealing stem bolts yet? Ah you see, I had to trade the Self Sealing Stem Bolts for a case of Arcturan Brandy...which I traded for a ton of left-hand threaded Hept-nuts, which in turn were traded for a 10000 superconducting washers... Karl |

Went into the cupboard this evening looking for one specific device for weighing luggage. Unfortunately it's batteries are dead making that element of the trip a bit of a wild goose chase.
On the bright side though this same trip has allowed me to identify some more stuff that has been able to go into the charity shop box, bin or recycling respectively.
The rest of the day has been spent finishing assembling the new chest of drawers and demolishing the old one, and assembling the new bedside cabinet. Which comes with a nice handy shelf for me to put my current reading material on to keep it close at hand, which is nice.
