When the late Mrs Loppy used to go away. Usually to visit her folks in Nottingham. I tried to do a major upgrade then wait to see how long it took her to notice when she came home. Biggest laugh I got was one time I replaced the bathroom vanity mirror with a real big one. It took about three days before she came into the living room and said, "Did you do something to the bathroom mirror while I was away?" She was smart, sometimes I think it was her way of getting things done.

Us old dogs can't bark the way we once did.

Late wife went to NGHS. I think she got a decent education, but she never spoke too highly of it.

Question then becomes, which piece? I lean towards Bach's Arioso. Not sure of the BWV number. or Air on a G string. -

Always liked it too. Most likely inspired by J.S Bach. -
Kerbside collection of unwanted electrical items

Many moons ago (early 60s) when I was a young apprentice electrician the co. I worked for repaired small appliances as well as wiring schools etc. Kettles, irons, hair dryers, electric fires etc. Parts were plentiful and just a few shillings each. A couple of us would stay in the shop for about an hour each morning before we hit the road to fix 'em. Often not much wrong, burned out element or broken power cord + a few bob for parts. Whole job usually less than a couple of quid and often much less if just a broken wire. The shop was honest and the customer would only be charged a bob or tw -
No not me Ian. Retired electrician named David before me ears grew long.

Dozed in my recliner after around 3.30. a.m. Bad idea! Woke up with a stiff neck and a bad case of the drools. I'm gerrin' owd! Jake sleeping happily at my feet. He's back there again now, 3.00 p.m. It's a dog's life. I'm ready to doze again but not in this chair anymore. Sky looks like more on the way.

Lousy thunderstorm at 2 a.m Christmas night woke us all up. Climate change??? We were not amused. It is not fun taking a Beagle out for a pee at 2.30 a.m. in a thunderstorm. My gripe for the day. Lol. Happy new year!

Merry Christmas ya'll. Hope your day's going well.

The boys always do especially well at holiday times. They share whatever that rotten Jake the Beagle can steal.
