Happy Hippo

I would have thought that keeping socks and cheese in the same fridge compartment would allow cross fertilization of aromas.

Meths is much cheaper, and in the right conditions can really light your taste buds up.

The magic word.... 'Unable' I am told it's the equivalent of a laxative rush for ATC.

I remember reading about that incident. The pilot managed to glide over 40 mile and received an AFC for his efforts. One of those events where having plenty of altitude is definitely your friend.

I'm about to take on some Guinness. (Brains was not available) As you will appreciate, this refuelling is purely for medicinal purposes.

I was always under the impression that in RAF terminology, Bingo was the point at which you needed head for home before you ran out of go-go juice.

Or just put 25 April into the PB version of the Causing Chaos and Misery diary.

Now I understand why the hospital was so keen for me to be in yesterday having my errant finger nail(s) removed.

I tried to pick up a stray cake from PB And this happened! Fortunately it's mainly padding.

Dave, was Agnes Hunt a relative of yours? If so, it would explain why you get exceptional service from the orthopods there.🤣

How the French expect the buffet of a minor wayside station to treat its patrons. Could you imagine getting that at Ystrad Mynach or Radyr?

Things are looking up. A cup of tea and a packet of ginger nuts (biscuits) have just arrived. The GA recipients are looking over in this direction in obvious unbridled envy. I am unmoved by their plight.

And there is No CAKE!

Got to the hospital at 0725 for a 0730 admission. It's now coming up to 0910 and I'm still waiting. It looks as if I'm number four in a queue of four. They seen to be dealing with those who require a GA first. Hospital chairs are particularly bum numbing.

After getting a summer haircut this morning, I decided to share the joy and gave the front and back lawns a trim, so they wouldn't feel left out. I now need to sort out the recycling for tomorrow's collection and then beautify myself for tomorrow morning's hospital appointment. It's a 0730 start at the PRH, so I don't want to be rushing about that early in the morning. With my start up requirements, I'll need to get up around 0600.... But I then might afford myself the luxury of bacon for breakfast. In other news, I've just been informed that the bullpup air rifle that I ordered a few weeks back, has now been built and will be delivered by the RFD on Saturday evening. That news comes hot on the heels of the email informing me that the carbine I sent back to the manufacturer for a complete overhaul, is now ready for collection. I might be going to collect it on Friday, but it all depends on how I feel after the nail bed removal. Last time, I was a bit sore and my arm was in a sling. Of course I'm going to the model show at the NEC on Sunday, so the zeroing/re zeroing of these two rifles will have to wait until next week before I can set them up.
