After declaring to my wife on Friday "I haven't felt ill for ages", I've woken up today feeling ill.  And I touched wood.

If only my wonderful wife would touch wood in the morning!!

Ooooh matron.

Got a jumper on for the first time in ages. Makes you feel very British wearing a jumper.

Too much hair but the rest is spot on.

DAB sounds take longer to arrive because they're so complicated. I expect it's the same with time.

I think that's pretty much it.

Whatever is on all radio formats starts at exactly the same time but DAB (and listening on the internet) needs to be digitised before it is transmitted and then undigitised when it arrives. Most of the time this makes no difference but for something like the pips on the radio the FM ones (which are probably the most accurate) arrive at your ears a little before the DAB one does. The BBC app for radio on a mobile phone is much the same.

Similarly the commentary for Argyle on Argyle Player arrives quite some time after the Radio Devon FM signal does. In fact the tweets from those at the game usually arrive well before the commentary does. Quite why they should be routed through the internet as much fast as they are eludes me.

That has to be the first time I've ever got any science right

In other news, I should have worn a jumper - or, rather, a cardi, of which you can never have too many - today, as it's a bit chilly in our office. Tomorrow I shall bring in the one that I keep in the office in case it's a bit chilly.

(Took it home for a wash in April, innit.)

ive finished moving my friends crap into his hew house...it stopped raining

It takes a real man to rock a cardigan. I am not one of those men.

I had two 'Y' cardigans back in the 80's. One grey with burgandy trim. The other burgandy with grey trim.

They got many an airing at Chaucer disco on a friday night.

Lit the woodburner or the first time last night, will light it again in a minute.

NOT AGAIN!!!!! My fecking digestive has just broken into my coffee.

I was sent back to Higher Compton to pick up the car.

Big lightening and electric went off for ten seconds approximately.

Mrs running the bath, must be time for a back wash.

Saw a parent up the school this morning "alright Dan?" "Yeah, not to bad, bit of a cold, but okay. You?"
"Yeah okay thanks. There's something going round." "Yeah, still could be worse. See you later". "See you".

The common cold will seem like a godsend once ebola gets here.

Blimey, toll that bell. The bringer of doom has arrived.

You might be lucky, it could skip your house and go straight to Colin's.

Off to goose fair this morning, wife first time.

Trouble parking?

Thank the good Lord for elasticated waistbands.

Got those down Trago - just back.

Odd place, Trago. All those security guards, they don't sell anything more valuable than a few tins of Dulux do they?

Got into a fight with security guards there when I saw somebody I knew and hadn't seen for ages driving past the doors, I ran out to catch them and a guard rugby tackled me, he managed to jam his face against my elbow really hard at which point I realised what was going on, teo of his mates piled in and I ended up in a headlock and then the police took me to Bodmin police station. I never actually got more than five feet inside the store yet they charged me with shoplifting, I had to go back and apologise to he guard but I had to go home without my weathershield. My wife loves going shopping with me.

Back from Tavistock, caught the bus Pete it free for us oldies. One heavy shower.

Well I went for some car paint and saw an ornament for £83.84 - odd price. It was 2 pigs not security men.
