Topically, I shall be donning some Wellies (or possibly waders) today, in search of Flounder up the Kingsbridge estuary, or possibly the Teign.

Any good? I was wondering about dragging the boat up to the Teign one day, haven't fished it in years.

Nope. I missed a proper good bite, so my mate told me, whilst having a piss. There were a few bass jumping in the river too, which made blanking all the more annoying. I'll give it another go if we get a cold dry spell in the next month or so.

My mates coming down end of the week and we were going to hit the Tamar for Codling but the rivers are as high as fook, needs to dry up for a week for any of the rivers to fish well.

Nice morning in Dawlish, a walk along the sea wall, tea & teacakes in a cafe.
On to Teignmouth for lunch a nice hot thick winter veg. Hard to park sea front were full up.

PS Mr Brent the new theater (this is where your grant money went) is moveing on at a pace.

It's horrible outside, 2degrees and sleet and hail with a bit of snow now and then. Just got home from town and the boy has just asked for a lift into town.

Farted myself awake at four-o-clock

I waited until the gas pass. One thing when I pass wind nobody smells it.

Lovely day today.

It was a lovey day yesterday, TheTeign in full flow and the poor ducks on Dawlish Water were fighting a loseing battle.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaallllllllllllllllllllllrighty then. Four days off starts, like now. What to do?

Drink?
Dartmoor with doggy?
Fortescue with fellow drinking buddies?
Go watch a band, or two?
Gardening?
Overtime?................meh
Go for a run?
Gym?
Car Auctions?
Look after wifey?
Have some more ink done?
Wash wifeys car?
Drink?
Spend some money in Richer Sounds?
Did I mention drink?


Another cup of tea, then re-think my list?

I'm like the Queen - I don't poo.

Soooooooooooooooo sorry your Ladyship!

I went to work this morning with the car in economy mode.
It would only let me use 3rd and 4th gears.

I am really looking forward to the drive home tonight!

You silly old goat.

Back home safe.

I found 1st and 2nd gear 3 times tonight but 4th has now gone walkabouts. Not bad for a 16 mile journey!

As for 5th that went MIA a week ago.

My neighbour had that on his old rover 75 it turned out he had a earth problem on his engine.

A rover 75, how common!

I have a Daewoo Matiz called 'Matty' (wife's name for 'IT' whereas I have called it a lot of things in the last few days and not once 'Matty')

I do find that when I see a Chevvy Matiz I shout out 'Plastic MK Don!'

It really pisses the family off. I don't know why!

Car was in super economy mode today to and from work. Just 3rd gear.

Still didn't call it 'Matty'!

'IT' is at the car doctors. I'm cleaning the house!

Get yourself a decent reliable car Mouldy......if you buy cheap you get what you deserve........Honda reliability mate.....a Civic or a Jazz (if the kids are gone }.....16 yrs of trouble free motoring......only time I ever opened the bonnet was to top up the windscreen water bottle.

Before that 8yrs of driving a Triumph Acclaim......(Honda engine & gear box.).

Keep forgetting to buy milk for the office. Getting a taste for black coffee though.

Much to my surprise, I'm now officially a fan of seeded bread.

We have had it from new (2000) and it has been very good. Passed every MOT except one because of a headlight lamp had blown. Now just passed 98K miles and starting to cost money. Car Doctor says it is 'tired'. I say its fecked!

Cakes bakes and shakes in Tavvy do a seeded loaf that wicked.

Always exceptions, but as a general rule of thumb you lessen your chance of car problems with either German or Japanese engineering.

Then the obvious one of course - buy a French car, and you deserve all that comes your way.
