Yes, friends, have YOU every had a bad experience in Greggs?
There have been, like, a billion bad-news stories about Greggs recently, yes, literally billions, not to say "legion" (!), to judge from the pages of the Onion News (West Worcestershire) print edition, to put it mildly! Are you having one, as you read these words, I wonder?
You only have to glance at p.94 this morning, to know what I'm talking about!
But at least there's some consolation for the poor guy, because - did you see? - he won the paper's daily prize of £5.25 for "your worst Greggs experience today"? And perhaps with that money he can get a more "chocolatey" muffin at the nearby Costa's. Well, we'll see - I've already texted Kyle asking him to keep us updated on that local "hot topic" of a story! So watch this space! [I can hardly wait! - Ed]
There's a lot of chocolate going around at the moment, too, isn't there, what with Christmas and all, and people trying to "work their way through" all the, like, billions of tins of Quality Street they've been given, to put it mildly!
a typical Christmas tin of Quality Street chocolates
And my medium-to-long suffering wife Lois and I are at least going to "work some of that chocolate off our waistlines" with a morning walk along by the premises of the Government's medium-to-top-secret Malvern Science Park, where, even as we speak, hard-working local boffins are struggling to protect the UK from more of those fiendish computer hacking attacks by all those dastardly foreigners (!).
us on our morning walk today under the lee of the lovely 700-million-year-old
Malvern Hills, and along past the premises of the Government's
medium-to-top-secret Malvern Science Park (right)
And Lois and I have also got something to chuckle over on our walk, because this week's amusing Venn diagrams have "plopped" onto our computer screens this morning, courtesy of an email from Steve, our American brother-in-law: look at this "doozy" !!!
Yes, and it's the QUOTE "remainders of the chocolate box at the end of December" UNQUOTE - that resonates with Lois and me today, and did you know that one local couple has even done a ranking - best to worst - of all the chocolates in a Quality Street tin? Did you see this social media post?
And, while you're about it, why not send me, also, your rankings of Donald Trump's "cabinet picks" haha!
[That's enough hahas! - Ed]
Other than our morning walk, it's another busy day for Lois and me today. We're going to be moving out of our home here on Thursday - the international movers "GB Liners" are coming to load up our furniture and belongings, and transport them to Liphook, Hampshire where we're buying our next 'last-ever-house' - what a madness it all is !!!!
Today, we're doing some of the most important preparations for the move, like labelling all the wires going in and out of our computers, so "we'll know where to stick'em" after the move - no suggestions for that, please, unless they're polite ones haha!
I start labelling the wires going into and out of,
our dusty old computer equipment, so that I'll
"know where to stick'em" in our new house, and
no saucy suggestions please if you don't mind!!!!
We also get on the internet today and switch the hotel we'll be staying in on Thursday night, as our halfway stopping point between Malvern and Liphook. We'll be exhausted when the day is over, after supervising the furniture-removal, and then cleaning, dusting, vacuuming etc as each room is emptied. So we've decided to opt for a hotel that's got its own bar/restaurant and a bigger bed we can "plop" into afterwards - makes sense to us!
our new choice of hotel for Thursday night - a place with a bar, and a bigger bed haha!
;21:00 We go to bed tonight on TV's documentarist-extraordinaire Philomena Cunk, not Cunk herself obviously (!), but on perhaps her most ambitious TV documentary to date: "Cunk on Life", which is touted as holding the answers to all the big questions in life, so it's a "must see" for Lois and me, that's for sure!
Just the intro to this programme starts to make our mouths water at the delights we're expecting to savour in the next hour, to put it mildly!
You see, Philomena has just so many fascinating insights on life to offer tonight. Here's just one, this one being all about the story behind Michelangelo's painting of the ceiling in the Sistine Chapel.
And here's another incisive "corker" (!) from Cunk on "that ceiling" :
But fascinating stuff, isn't it! [Just go to bed, Colin! - Ed]
22:00 We go to bed - zzzzzzzz!!!!
