Friday Frippary


I finally got fed up awaiting Hermes collecting the returned goods and took myself off down the road for the long walk to the sub post office where I knew I would get a smile from the lassie there.
Naturally she was not there and I was faced with an overworked individual who I do not know, the regular couple were off it appears, who took the package anyway.  They have a small post office section used for after hours mail, good idea.   I informed the sender who did not care as they probably had the goods written off by now and being Friday were looking at the clock.  I care not, it has gone and I am happy to be rid of it.


The third world war war heard beginning outside tonight, Monday is fireworks night so people have been practising at great expense for days, tonight an artillery barrage occurred not far to the north east, I expect even more tomorrow.  I ought to be reading about the war when these things go off, it gives a decent backing noise but without the screams of course.  I am glad I don't have a pet at times like this.

   
Having spent an enjoyable evening listening to loud 'Canned Heat' and 'Joe Cocker' music, there is no football tonight which is a disgrace, I am no easing my ears with Gesualdo.  Very nice it is too.


I hope you enjoy it also.

Yes, the fireworks seem to go on for a longer period nowadays. I dog sat our neighbours dog last night as they were out and the rugby club nearby had their family firework display. I hope the knees were ok after your long walk. Rather than walking I use my folding bike for shopping and short journeys and I'm so glad I bought it as its worth its weight.

Dave, Cycling, on the exercise bike, has helped with the knees. Getting out on the bike more has also helped. Walking distance is not so good these days. I sit here awaiting darkness and WW3 beginning again!

Fireworks? Fiestas here start with what sounds like Messines Ridge going up!
