Peggy's Mundane Thread

Raiders beat Newcastle Eagles 89-87 in OT

Oooh I could crush a grape...... Wine making today. The grape harvest has been rubbish. It's been so depressing I'm up the bar.

Got a monthly bus pass now. What with that and my railcard and the motor, I think it's fair to say I'm fully mobile.

After giving the wall a good rub down this morning we are now preparing to pick the little ones up from school and then feeding them before taking them for their swimming lesson,On the way home being drop off at the Goal for FOCP meeting (I hope I have the right day).

There's a lot of banging going on next door. Noisy buggers.

Please - for once - don't post any photos, Chingers!

Yeah, it's probably for the best.

Ta  

I'm going for a run in a minute. 10k. Should take me about 60 mins. My knees aren't what they used to be. Well, they have always been my knees, it's just that....ah forget it.

I've been for a short walk - about 2 mls or less. After being properly poorly I had to drop into The Tamar for a drink (the pub)and a bowl of chips. I need a rest now.

That's in preparation for serving Henning Wehn tonight in his sell-out gig at The Chapel . By the way, Mark Thomas is also now sold out.

Chingers, I think you should take pictures otherwise it would be left our imaginations and that would be much more disturbing.

And, whilst I'm in communications mode, Jello ...... do you know who is in your avatar?

I've recently adopted the Peggy method, so have just "had to" do the washing up!

Last week I pre ordered some Atora suet (real fat stuff, not the veggie variety) from the English shop. Picked it up earlier today  and am now ready to make a nice stew with proper dumplings! No turnip/swede though as you can't buy them (usually from Scotland) here yet (have to wait until late Autumn).

Excellent, Moisty. You'll find your life changes for the better. (with the washing up, I mean - not the dumplings you sneaked in while I was composing this.)

Knecht: I think you must still be proper poorly. There's no other way you'd want to see pictures of Colin banging.

Especially if his wife's also involved in some way.

Is the vicar due for tea? Whereas many normal people hang a large crucifix to the wall, maybe to impress him, one of them has nailed to other to the wall instead?

Austerity and all that?

Knecht in communication mode! hells teeth man. Someone take a screen grab. 

Yes I do, thank you. Thanks to my father and his love for that stuff that begins with 'J'. He, my father, god rest his soul, had the pleasure of playing with some top jazz artists in the 70's on the London Jazz scene. He often played the circuit of the 100 club, Ronnie Scotts, Camden jazz festival etc.
Up until he last days - he used to annoy the crap out of us on Sundays when he would practise his Tenor Sax jazz scales. 

Although he only dabbled in tickling the ivory, Thelonious Monk was one of his all time heroes.

Ooh, getting sad now thinking of him. My dad. Not Theolonious Monk. 

Just to touch on something, Knecht. I find Henning Wehn really funny - my kind of humour, if-you-like. I checked out your link to The Chapel arts centre, Calstock. There's some pretty decent stuff on the calender.

I may have to check this place out soon. Don't worry. I won't ask to meet you there for a pint or anything. You wouldn't want to associate with a thug like me, Paul Thomas (sighs), would you. 

Anyway - thanks for that link. Most interesting.

Anyone who likes Thelonious Monk can't be all bad.

Henning Wehn was really good last night (and a very nice bloke also) in spite of him being German.

My tea is hotter than usual today, some days it's cold real quick and although the ambient room temperature is always roughly the same the tea varies.

Very British Problems

[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

Henning Wehn told a long story about having had a hernia which caused bladder problems and having to get off a late-night bus in London to have a pee in the bushes after an evening drinking. Then, with his trousers stained from wetting himself, he decided to walk home. On the way he passed a kebab shop & decided to have a kebab. Unfortunately he tripped on the step into the shop, went flying and landed on his hands & knees.

He thought, at last I've arrived! Smelling of booze with piss-stained trousers, going for a kebab, falling over onto his hands & knees. After years of living here, I'm finally British!

(you had to be there.....)

He's pretty funny that fella. Slightly mental which is a good trait for a comedian.

He claimed that the reason that all B&B owners were all over 70 was that they had been increasingly unable to care for themselves. So their children, seeing how expensive care home fees are, took her money & bought her a B&B. That way she would get 24 hrs a day care.

£4.60 for a pint of Peroni in a bar inChingers. That's all they had too. I may have to go back on the old Persians if beer is heading for a fiver a pint.

I saw him in the B bar a couple of years ago, well funny.
