Sheer

Never

Witchend,swimming in the reservoir, Welsh ponies, clouds coming down over the Long Mynd - we're lost! In the nick of time the stiperstones loom out of the mist, the Devil's Chair outlined on the ridge like the spine of a sleeping dragon. 'If it wasn't for you pesky kids', and lashings of ginger beer. Oh no, that's the other one. Think I've inhaled too much Vick.

Tripe

There's a bored policeman in the library, maybe he could suggest something if he's at a loose end.

Lovely countryside and driving distance to even lovelier in Shropshire - you can walk along the Devil's Dike and look down into the Welsh Marches (I think), the setting for the Malcolm Saville books. Got a feeling it may also get its water from the Welsh hills like Birmingham, so no limescale to deal with.

Manners, innit. Not feeling very kindly towards the woman on the bus who just yawned into my face from about a foot away five or six times without bothering to cover her mouth. The roots of my hair are still standing up.

...so in the end the train part of my journey in took 50 minutes.

This morning the train was delayed by 10 minutes, then they decided to terminate it at Bermondsey and threw everyone off - no explanation why, though the driver did apologise. Now on another waiting outside LB due, apparently, to congestion. The day-to-day management and communication is totally unacceptable.

It takes several minutes to get off the platform in the morning. I have wondered what they'd do if there were an emergency.

Roast

Apparently a number of people have reincarnated in this very forum.

That's disgraceful. Pretty's is one of a small group of genuine local and and useful shops around here. For people who haven't signed the petition yet, is it in the shop?

Though the intellectual wnaking has been amusing, you have to admit.

Dunno about the sun, but what's the betting it gets worse when we get a light dusting of snow later this month. Can't wait.
