    Old Fat Prop is hiding in Notes coffee shop. Soft '40's jazz. Someone smoking a Galoius cigarette outside at an odd wiff blows in now an then. I don't smoke but it somehow makes the coffee better. ..... Wonder why that is... Contemplating binning the day and going for a liquid lunch... This place is driving me sane!!!

    Old Fat Prop Been a bit work stressed lately and not carrying it well. ......................................................................... I borrowed the wee grandson late this afternoon and we walked down to the river to feed the ducks............ He listened intently to me as I explained that our company can't expand fast enough to cover all of our commitments and we will all have to work longer and harder. .......... and he said "Ducks eat bread" and he laughed. .......and in just a flash all of the work troubles faded to nothing..... I've book another session with him tomorrow....

      Tenacityflux Ahh - to explain Mr Flux started a group called 'don't tell 'em Pike!' When you hear the person in front of you in the star bucks que asked their name, shout out 'Don't tell 'em Pike' in the style of captin Mannering ('scuse spelling) - thus creating hilarity all round and yet making the point we don't want their Amercasims here thank-you!

      Old Fat Prop I remember now, Classic episode. I will steal that for next time, it's perfect.

I have learned to give my mate's home number now in the contact details for just about everything....

    Thanks, Prop :-) I'm not sure what other comp it would be suitable for but I did find that I had lots of experiences queueing up to be crammed in so I could definitely do a longer version - they do say "write what you know" ;-)

    Ah well! I'm going on 7/8 (shoe size!), so that makes me younger after all!! :)xx Hope you are enjoying the sun (cooler, but lovely still), as we are. Just came in for a convenience break, but you don't want to know that.... Think the radio played April Fool by reporting proposed new rules for we (not you) pensioners - getting on treadmill to prove fitness before claiming pension at post office or some such nonsense!! Have a feeling Mr J was truly taken at first!! :)x
