Will have to wait til tomorrow to do the washing up. Potentially good news then. Can you just buy a new starter thing and return the tube for a refund? Would you remember the person who served you though? I'd recommend going to a different till, just in case they think you are a blatant nectar points thief, and try to deduct your pointage from your now returned tube. Which I suppose they'd be quite within their rights to do, I guess. Could you cope with it on your conscience if you walked out again with fraudulent nectar points? A proper quandry, innit. |

| Not worth buggering about with, keep it for next time and get two starters they are cheap enough. |

But if the first one is a false starter, then the light will be disqualified. |

| Played golf today at Yelverton.
Very windy, but didn't lose any balls - which was nice. |

A proper quandry, innit. Decisions, decisions ... I'll worry about it next year. The washing up can wait. Just had to eat my cereal with a serving spoon. |

| I can't believe how much of an issue milk is becoming in my pathetic little life.
The only fresh stuff easily available is from Morrisons, trucked over from the UK, with a resultant reduction in use by date. I end up throwing lots away over the course of a month.
I have a carton of emergency UHT rubbish, but it's just not the same.
Nipping over the Frontier to Spain for milk is a lottery. Depends if the Spanish Customs and Border Police are in a good mood or not. |

| Managed to get out today and bought some, you've guessed milk. |

| All day I've had the urge to go somewhere that looks like a normal urban scene, but every hour or so, a cross channel ferry passes by at the end of the street.
An optical illusion, as it were.
Suffice to say, I've got diarrhoea and couldn't leave the house.

| A nice mug of hot milk is just the thing for optical illusions.
I will need to get some more milk in tomorrow. |

| Forgot to report - what with all the excitement about the kitchen light - that I bought milk yesterday.
The phone's back in English now. Everything was fine in German except the predictable text thingy only spoke German. Which was a bit of a pain. |

| I haven't had diarrhoea for years. I have had milk more recently, though. |

No sprouts for Christmas dinner then, had two bouts of it, one after Christmas dinner and another after sprout bubble and squeak two days later. |

| We had duck, parsnip, carrot, potatoes, shallots and sprouts. My veggie daughter had a cannelloni of my own devising. And none of us had diarrhoea. I was largely veggie for about 5 years and you then get used to a looser bowel movement but no diarrhoea for me. What? Sometimes these things need discussing. It can't all be deep philosophy. It is mundane. |

| A couple of years ago, my rediscovery of long socks proved a boon in the cold weather.
Now, I'm proud to unveil another winter warmer: a flannelette duvet cover.
With flannelette sheet and pillow cases, obviously. |
