Last week I succumbed to a very occasional temptation and bought a scratch card. Won £80. Kept it under lock and key until today, when I went to cash it and found it wasn't £80 - it was £100. Then I went to buy a cardi I'd seen (trust me - you can never have too many cardies), and found it was on a special offer, £5 off. Then I went to the dentist, didn't have to have anything done except a nice clean and polish, and it only cost £18.
Best of all, though, Euthymol, which disappeared months ago and has been changing hands (not mine, mind) for ridiculous prices on ebay and that, has reappeared in Sainsburys (nectar points innit). So now I've got another two tubes in the cupboard I can open the one I've been saving for best.
And I managed to do all this (and go to work) without getting caught in the rain once. Strange feeling coming home and not having to put my boots in the airing cupboard to dry out.
I brought the grandson his first pair of football boots today, he is being coached by a good Bunny

As a birthday treat, my wonderful wife is taking me out tonight for a dozen pints of frothing ale (The Fortescue!!) and a slap-up breaky in Goodbodies. We know how to live!!

Out side the kitchen window is a tall Fir tree in a tub, which blows over in a gust of wind. It has not blown over during the past fortnight.

I think Helen will do a Billie Holliday.... "it costs me a lot but there's one thing that I got ..... two or three girls has he that he likes as well as me but I love him ..... he isn't true, he beats me too ... what can I do?"
Then it will end in big time tears. I ought to write their scripts.
