Morning All, After a bit of negotiating with black dog a visit to Pontecarlo and a possible chinwag with @Barry O is a distinct possibility. Bettergerramoveon. Dont like my scrambled eggs ‘sloppy’. Robert

Afternoon All, Just about recovered from yesterdays expedition. Set off at 10.00am and arrived home at 7:30pm but managed a trip to the local Boundary Mill store as well. Meadowhall is tedious but Boundary Mill is on another level. Only clothes, soft furnishing and houseware. Today as Fox Valley, more shopping. Trying to find summer clothes for a walkabout in January ain't easy.

Morning All, Going to be a long day. Should be visiting a museum in York today with a friend but unfortunately he’s not up to it so a visit to Meadowhall (shopping centre) is a poor replacement. A look around the house yesterday revealed some cladding and associated lighting has be ‘ripped’ of the underside of a canopy in the back garden. I think that is a repair job that can wait until spring time as I’ve got plenty to keep me occupied and I’ve secured what remains A few phone calls, emails, a chat with friends and a visit to the old lady across the road completed yesterday’s activities. Breakfast had so back to the pit and hopefully some sleep.

One of my best friends is an ex-scaffolder! Rough ‘fxxxing diamond’ might be a good description.

Morning All, Much skipping recently for various reasons. Good luck to those awaiting medical procedures and also those with results pending. Thoughts for those under the weather for whatever reason. Robert

My friends business has managed to get two of my pet hates into its business name. ‘i Bathroom Solutions’ His name is Kev and he fits bathrooms so why not ‘ Kev the bathroom fitter’ simples oh no I’m starting with it now!

A good article, 11 hours a week tracking down items in short supply , what a waste of resources. Then there’s the waste of resources tracking down stock at a price that’s not above the NHS reimbursement price. . Goodnight from Mr Grumpy,

Dont you need to be logged in to get to Early Risers anyway? ( or anything on Wheeltappers)

Regarding taking pets out for the day what about poor old Hector?

Feels like it.

Thanks for that, it’s come as quite a surprise really but I did know that the owners wife, Ineke has been ill for a while. They are a very friendly family and often advise me where to visit when I’m in Holland. Hopefully I’ll get to see them before they close. Wow, things are really coming off the tracks this year.

In a week that has caused much debate in our hobby I wonder if anyone could confirm my belief that this is another trader that has decided to close the door for the last time. https://www.n-spoorstore.nl/en/content/het-is-mooi-geweest For those that may be wondering, it a place where I do spend quite a few tokens and have got to know the family and staff quite well. If the message is what I think it is I’d like to send them a thank you card but obviously I want to be sure. Thanks in anticipation. Robert

Evening All, Much skipping of posts again I’m afraid so hopefully all is well but commiserations to @PhilJ W on the loss of his car but at least you escaped un injured. As for me just the usual but we’ve been watching a bit of tv which you may think odd but some weeks the tv doesn’t even get switched on. Something that I did watch was this, https://www.itv.com/watch/tonight/1a2803/1a2803a9392 which portraits the situation quite well. One of the issues raised is the reimbursement price of medicines that are supplied. I spoke to a colleague last year and he told me the average pharmacy was losing £1000 PER WEEK on this issue and obviously as this is an average figure some are losing out to a much greater extent. No wonder the dark one is roaming free. On a more positive note my team won but as all the other teams around did too we’re still in the same place in the league. Enough drivel, Goodnight.
