That reminds me.....did we solve when Plymouth was first founded ?

Tut tut, Zyph. Solving things is hardly mundane, is it? When (not if) we solve it, I hope it gets a thread of its own.

Now.

Thought for the day: try not to sneeze while eating muesli. This thought probably also applies to couscous.

Still soaking up the embers of firepit after BBQ. Was there a game today?

Apparently there was, Genie. According to the Erole, Argyle beat 'Bristol' and five people were 'evicted'.

Polished 2 pairs of brown shoes earlier today

Using brown shoe polish, I trust?

(Or at the very least a transparent one, although I think those are rubbish.)

yes i did use brown polish and managed to get some on the armchair

Armchairs don't polish well I'm told......but tables do.

Ford are now making a brown Ford Focus. A mate of mines first car was a brown Austin Ellegro. I like brown.

But would brown polish be used on a brown Ford Focus or even an Austin Allegro ?.....mine was a strong metallic green....never had difficullty finding it in a car park.

Many years ago I had an Allegro - getting rid of my MG as my kids came along. It was in perfect condition inside & out, virtually no miles on the clock, only driven on a Sunday by a little old lady going to church. And it was the worst car I ever had! It lasted a few months with me before I got shot of it. It was red.

Mine was an estate....had trouble keeping the tailgate closed....very strange.

What I did like was the red strip speedo instead of a dial.....had to modify the rear suspension arms.....put a grease nipple in each casting arm and pumped full of grease.....forcing out all of the rusty water that had filled the casting and caused a creaking noise,had it six years very reliable.

Sorry Peggy you will probably complain that this is not mundane enough.

Not mundane????!!!! An Allegro. That's as mundane as it gets.  

I think the Swallows have gone, I feel like following them.

Swallows still in Calstock.... in & out of their nests also.

Lazy hippy Calstock Swallows, probably not out of bed yet.

CrackBerry Asks: Are you running 10.2?

Nights are drawing in ...

Later today, and accompanied by the eight year old and the five year old, I'll be exploring the wonder of automatic doors, swipe cards and (hopefully) revolving doors which start up as you approach them. As long as it's not too exciting, I'll report back.

Found out in the last book number 15 ( should have been the first one) that Plymouth did have it own Coroner

Dead lucky there then.

Yeah you shouldn't press red buttons

Well. Not exciting but not particularly mundane, either. Today we discovered that the five year old's too small to be noticed by the sensors operating various automatic doors, including a revolving one. She can walk right up to them and nothing happens, but when the eight year old does the same said doors open or revolve. On another day this could have ended in tears, but mercifully she found it funny.

Meanwhile, the eight year old described Kermit the Frog as 'that green guy from the Muppets' and the five year old found a pop-up book all about poo.

Just watching SkySports News. Gerry Francis needs to have a word with himself. It's 2013, and that is a quite outrageous mullet.

Who does he think he is, Rick O'Shay?
