Peggy's Mundane Thread

I want to have a go, but might have to settle for bowling instead.

I had to Google the in and outs of Curling. At first it seemed a bit mundane. Now I understand it a bit better, you're right Peggy - it's rather interesting.

What I found quite exciting so far at Sochi, was the ice hockey (take note Brent) and the BMX version of snowboarding around that circuit.

Kencht, I saw that a bus service runs from Tavistock and gods village is it any good, I have not been to the village for over forty years,(boat trips) is the fish and chip shop is still there?

Sadly ..... no longer a fish & chip shop nor a cafe nor any other shop except the single village stores though that is pretty good. There is a vintage clothes & repair shop. There is an Art Gallery and there are several exceptionally good tradesmen who get lots of their business from the village (in fact one of the builders claimed to me that he has never gone out of the village to get work!). There are two pubs that do good pub food & good drink. In fact tomorrow evening I shall be in The Tamar with friends sampling their fish & chips again. The bus service is really good and runs fairly frequently to & from Callington & Tavistock. If you're coming from Plymouth the train may be a better choice.

The bus is free,

I have only travelled on the bus once and on that occasion, because the machine was broken, all six passengers travelled free. But don't tell anyone. The return train-fare after 9:15 is £5.20.

That why the village are losing their bus service, use it or lose it

One-third off of that and every other off-peak train fare in Dem and Cornwall if you get a residents' railcard. Innit. Just take some proof of address to the station, fill in a form, give them £10 and it's yours for a year.

Thanks Peggy but I have a nation wide disable card, the wife (or companion)and I can travel on any train with a third off for both of us.

If your train is late by more then 30mins you can have a part refund, 1 hour late 50% refund, check on line to find out more.

Had a day at the zoo, a couple of afternoons at a relative's house doing family things (catching up on news, upsetting very young niece   , watching some fairy film with slightly older niece   ), nice family meal, a morning on Godrington beach and then home.

I wanted to pop to Plymouth but didn't get a chance.

Went to see all your mates in the pets corner?

Just had an iced ring doughnut, Mum had a danish pastry

Yes, and all my girlfriends.   

Professor Hugh Montgomery is on Desert Island Discs today.. Apparently he holds the world record for playing the piano underwater.

Having to cope with daughter's friends after they had a sleep over last night. They were chatting till 12.30 am this morning and up at 7.30! They are jumping around, singing and doing things that they do and are bright as buttons. Me, I feel like sh**!   

Just watched one of my cats lick the other's arse....... strange creatures - will lay off kissing that one for a while  

 

   

I've never heard of a homosexual cat before...... I did have one that used to suckle on my earlobe obsessively.....

We've got one of those as well. Under the covers nibbling wife's earlobe, pomping and purring. Armpits on bank holidays.

My Tyrone would get under the covers with me and try to latch onto something else........ the big ginger monster   

It's raining here and I know a cat the tries to latch on to dubious places but he's not ginger or a monster.

Works OK for me, when I looked earlier on.

Think I'm back posting.
