Interesting Items...

[trog]

I tend to buy new socks with a full supply of all the same colour/pattern. That way there is only ever one odd sock at most by the time it comes to replace them.

You should have had your feet tattooed in that same colour/pattern and in time saved even more money.

Never heard of Marks Electrical before today.

...and then I was on a bus to Nottingham and saw a tram completely covered in an advert for Marks Electrical. I bet if it hadn't been mentioned here I wouldn't have noticed it.

Wellll.... that was a washout then (as bloody usual in this country, whenever there's something interesting to see - I'll tell you about my 1999 eclipse experience some time)!

Go on then.
I'm just debating where to go for tonight. Can't stay here, unlike last time, as the view to the west is cluttered with bloody houses. Assuming I can find* the "glasses" of course.
Somewhere between Burnham (not him) and Clevedon with a bit of elevation. At least the weather is guaranteed this time.

* Straight to them. Why is it I can find stuff from 27 years ago, instantly, but can't find what I tidied away a couple of weeks ago despite an extensive search (and much irritation)?

Short term memory loss. Comes to many of us with age. Don't forget, that thing you've lost will be in the last place you look.

BTW. This morning the GMB weather presenter said don't use glasses from 1999. Didn't really say why. She probably has shares in the glasses company.
