The Microwave Man Cometh

The microwave man came last week. Having been told by me that it was broken he took one look at the machine and said "It's broken". Of course he had not brought any spares. I think this because he suspected that I might have lied when I called them up. A replacement bit is on order. I hope it is the right bit.

At Last Some Sunshine

For the last week we have had no sunshine at all. The sky has remained as grey and uninspring as an uninspring grey thing (see what I mean). Today things got a bit brighter and so I dashed off a quick piccy of Hull Marina looking good. I don't own any of the boats in the picture. And I'm not allowed on any of the grass you can see either.

April Fool?

If you had been reading this before 12:00 on the 1st of April you would have found a really funny joke here. But I've taken it down now to maintain the proper April Fool tradition.

Book now for next year.

Cheltenham Clocks

We were visiting in Cheltenham and went shopping. The have a rather nice clock on the shopping centre. On the hour the fish blows bubbles. Oh yes.

Rolling Roadblocks

Drove down the motorway to visit family today. Don't you just love lorries? Particularly the way that, on two lane motorways, you get one going at 50 mph and another going at 50.00000001 mph which pulls out to overtake. This means that you get to stare at a "Well Driven? Dial 0800 12341234 to let us know" notice on the back of the rolling roadblock as it sits in your way for 15 miles.

I wonder if anyone dares to dial that number? I think if you do a little red light comes on in the cab of the lorry in front of you, the driver looks into the rear view mirror, sees you talking on the phone and then taps the brake and twitches the steering wheel slightly to smear you and your car over around 800 yards of crash barrier...
