That’s two days running. Must be the antibiotics.

The Trumpama Canal.

A new trough of despond.

A funeral in Sevenoaks.

My last aunt (91).

β€œWho are all those old people?” I thought, overlooking my own decrepitude.

I’d like to see Jock, Mandy’s dog, on the Β£500,000 note.

In recognition of his suffering.

Uprooted like that.

Hope he’s getting canine counselling (from the public purse).

Plenty of room for a gulf between diners.

I can’t read the lunge menu.
It’s in Flemish.

Motorbikes too.

I had a handsome, engraved Swiss Army knife, a gift from a Zurich policeman. The all-singing/all-dancing version.

Lent it to a pupil on a school camping trip.

He lost it, of course.

It’s a long street, the Cop Shop being at number 999.

Is there any other way?

11.03.2026 15:47 πŸ‘ 2 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 0 πŸ“Œ 0

Or a box of split-pins in the shed.

β€œTories, you are deeply depressing.”

I expect he’s heading back to Letsby Avenue.

(Apologies).

You’re not wrong.

It’s hard to bimble on a Fireblade, but I gave it my best shot today.

Thought I might give the beast up when I reached seventy.

But now I’m thinking 75.

It’s the rider who needs restoring!
