Busy day today. First a trip to the opticians and Costa in town. Then a hair cut on the way home. Off to Yorkshire Cancer Research for lunch and bought some branded merchandise from them. This afternoon long phone call with my godparents.

I have an unwritten rule that depending how much I like a visitor it depends on what size cup someone gets. The larger the cup the more I like them as they can stay longer. Should I get some espresso cups for Christmas? BTW, nobody has achieved Sports Direct mug status yet 😜

This week my boss and I have talked over Teams about replacement fridge freezers, the middle isle of Aldi and Häagan-Dazs ice cream. I did advise that we did sound very middle age if anyone was listening to us. We are of a similar age.

So glad Sainsburys have Häagen-Daz ice cream on offer as today has been the sort of day where Häagen-Daz is required. Controlled myself to just Praline and Cream.

Some idiot can't park their car. Terrible state of affairs, half parking on the grass.

In tonight's Coronation Street, Debbie Webster reprises the classic line "get it, got it, good" as made famous by Bet Gilroy. He's Bet in Rovers delivering the famous saying. https://t.co/bqP5Hgc6eS

Last night I downloaded the book "The Idea of You" by Robinne Lee onto my Kindle. As the book was loading I was flicking through TV channels and the Amazon film version was about to start on BBC3. What a coincidence. (The book and the film do differ in their storylines)

Enjoying 'The Worlds Most Dangerous Roads' on BBC2 at the moment. Iceland hold a special place as it was the last place we went to as a family of four, before my sister got married and my Dad started to be ill.

Unexpected delivery after work yesterday. A Cadbury Heroes advent calendar from my employer with a message from the CEO, CFO and COO, I suppose we are all heroes at work.

Took the Jaguar to Waitrose this morning. First time I've driven the car in nearly 4 weeks - I had to alter the clock too as I hadn't put the clock back. Stocked up on Sussex Charmer whilst there, if it's good enough for Keira Knightley, Mrs Bird can continue to have it.

As I've already watched the first 750 episodes of Brookside already, it's good to know it will continue on STV for a few more years to come. Brookside set to air until 2029 as new deal is signed following Hollyoaks crossover | Radio Times

More cul-de-sac drama!

Three years ago today I started with the symptoms that resulted in my cancer diagnosis. To mark the occasion, I've updated my Kindle to a newer version in matcha green. 💚

It is more of a mini film than just an advertisement. I would expect nothing less from Waitrose. https://t.co/ol1xefhWmA

The 2025 Waitrose Christmas advert has been released and apart from featuring Keira Knightley and Joe Wilkinson (as Phil), my favourite cheese, Sussex Chalmer, also stars. Better make sure I stock up before it sells out.

Don't know if this is a strange coincidence, however yesterday I thought, I've not listened to Living In A Box for a while whilst getting lost in YouTube. BBC News - Living In A Box singer Richard Darbyshire dies aged 65 https://t.co/JJs8fAaIyH

The star scored three top 10 hits between 1987 and 1989 before launching a career as a songwriter.

This is not just an all day breakfast wrap, this is a M&S all day breakfast wrap. Our local M&S simply Food has a tiny coffee shop which wasn't in the original plans when the shop was refitted. Due to customer pressure a compromise was made. The old cafe was always popular.
