Awesome stag!
Hope everyone is having a good dayI had a thoroughly good time at the market, but I do find it a tiring day, particularly in the cold, and I always hobble home, tired, and with aching legs and feet.
Very nice dancing duo Jer.

Many thanks Bob.That's a grand old lamb Dwight.
That's a sad soliloquy on the state of affairs my friend. Again I refer everyone to the signature phrase ofThey have privatised everything, but the air, here Rachel. Water, sewage, electricity, gas, mail, trains, and all other public transport, and increasingly the NHS. It's been a disaster! Most of the utilities are now owned by overseas companies and governments, and there's little investment going back into them. The seas and rivers are filthier than they were in the 1970's, with sewage-strewn beaches nobody wants to visit, electricity and gas prices have increased many fold, with wholesale prices actually having gone down. The Royal Mail is barely functioning, train fares are the most expensive in the world, with so many daily cancellations, it's impossible to plan a trip, rural areas are often completely cut off from public transport, and even in the cities, the bus networks are appalling. As for the NHS, it's all, but collapsed, with huge waiting times for operations, and ambulances queuing for hours just to get into hospitals, people are dying in their homes, on pavement, and in hospital corridors. NHS dentistry has completely collapsed, with folks pulling their own teeth out, they're that desperate. I really don't have the language to describe the appalling mess this country is in, I'm not sure words have yet been coined. On top of this, inflation is into double figures, public sector workers haven't had a proper pay rise for more than a decade, and the national retirement age is advancing swiftly towards 70. Corruption in government is on a scale never seen here before. Among the workers currently striking or engaged in industrial disputes are nurses, train drivers, doctors, teachers, railway workers, fire fighters, postal workers, university lecturers, baggage handlers, barristers, civil servants, ambulance drivers, physiotherapists, bus drivers, midwives, court staff, paramedics, college lecturers, and Border Force workers! Many of these groups have never, ever gone on strike before
Cool pic RachelWhen I was in the post office yesterday, trying, in vain, to post an overseas parcel, and saw some copies of that book being sold off for a fiver, and had intended to buy a couple of copies. However, the line was so long, I'd have been waiting the best part of an hour

I hope you continue to improve quickly Bill.Good morning Guardians. Feeling a little better today.
That's pretty cool Barrett, it's a beautiful building in my opinion. The 'Boots', on the right, is the pharmacy where I pick up my prescriptions!Jack, my wife and I recently came across some old episodes of a UK series called Come Dine with Me, in which strangers take turns hosting each other for dinner. Today we watched an episode from West Yorkshire, and check out where one of the participants shopped for his ingredients.

He LOOKS like a character!The guy who did his shopping there was described as a local artist, and he was quite a character.

I usually listen to the radio or music on my way in to work. I just drove in complete silence. I don't know why. I just did.Nice !
It's cold here as well this morning but not quite as cold as you, -10 with a windchill 0f -25ยฐ![]()
At that temperature, maybe you were protecting your speakers from breaking due to being so brittle.I usually listen to the radio or music on my way in to work. I just drove in complete silence. I don't know why. I just did.![]()
I would too Paul! At -25 I would be forced to feel like I needed to have a heavy blanket, case of bottled H2O and a couple disposable lighters as well. In other words it would freak me out being the warm weather Texan that I am.I usually listen to the radio or music on my way in to work. I just drove in complete silence. I don't know why.
