Second hip replacement scheduled for Tuesday 17th March, arrive at hospital for 07:00, I am first in line.
I am not looking forward to the op, despite hip 1 being a success. However, it does need doing.

Jamie has a gig tonight in Leeds, with his own band.
Tomorrow he is playing a function gig in Ipswich.
Then, after staying in Ipswich, he travels over to Weston-Super-Mare to join with the Northern Swing Orchestra. Followed by the long trek back home to Leeds. Busy chap!

Hearing a couple of Owls calling to each other, at four in the morning, is one of the positive things about not being able to sleep!

One of the benefits of being old is that I lived in the pre-decimalisation era. You could find coins like these in your change. Maybe not the bottom right one which is George 111.
How many hands have these passed through?

Drizzle to start with, then more wind later.

Trump claims: "The World is not secure unless we have Complete and Total Control of Greenland."

Come on America, get rid of this idiot.
