Afternoon kiddiwinks. A bit late today, but then when you are running late for work - even though I get there 30 minutes early - you forget to do things, yes it’s an age thing. Have a great day y’all.

I had a similar one and it worked very well. In fact it may have been made by this guy as it came from the Ukraine.

So they are unblocking the drains, must be all that….

Hope my window cleaner comes tomorrow, and he said he would wear a Spider-Man suit…

Back in Kent, stopped for a coffee and a break for 15minutes. Feeling happier already and not at the coast yet.

Is that for me or Phil? And with the number of people I know it could be one of thousands.
