I am cuurently in the garden, armed with a puncture repair kit, fixing the dogs' paddling pool...

This morning I have been into Rhyl on business .... Ghastly place 

I could have gone to Prestatyn, which is marginally better, but the only real tobacconist for 25 miles is in Rhyl and I needed to get some pipe baccy.

Anywhoo ~ Rhyl is heaving with wet scousers in shell suits .... which garment I thought died out years ago. Aforesaid wet scousers were, of course, accompanied by a lot of thieving little gits who may or may not be the children of the males accompanying the orange wimmin. Now Orange wimmin are one thing (bad enough in their own right) but when they weigh in excess of 20 stone each and are mostly wearing purple shell suits the whole is a revolting sight.

I am soooo glad to be away from Scallypool

Last time I went to Rhyl it looked like the Luftwaffe had just left

I know, Nick...I know.

When the missus bought it I suggested that dog claw/plastic pool interface would result in punctures. So she bought a puncture repair kit. Women's logic for you.

Still, on the plus side, sniffing the glue brings back childhood memories :-)

Today I am mostly thinking and scribbling. Tomorrow taking The Boy out for his 14th birthday and giving him his first electric razor

Started volunteering with the British Heart Foundation while I'm jobhunting so today has been mainly spent hefting heavy furniture around. Thankfully I knocked off for the day before the woman who had bought the piano came in to collect it.

Was also introduced to peanut butter yogurt by one of the lasses working there.

BHF and job hunting I am sorry that you are having to do the job hunting thing bit.

Sign of the times Miss C, I'm enjoying the volunteer work at any rate and they are a good crew.

I know, if you weren't such a grumpy cantankerous young git I would employ you myself.

We have spent the day boiling, getting wet, steaming, boiling, getting wet. On and on it went but we still managed to raise £256.37 for Help for Heros and that's not including the three collection boxes that have been left in shops and a cafe.

I am now knackered and plan to spend the rest of the day doing not a lot other than making my way through the bottle of Pinot that is chilling in the fridge.

Oh, I do feel pale ...  we have a Caribbean festival of food 'n' music in the park     The bass line rhydum's rattlin' me windows, innit, viv some reggae reggae beats... 
Some excellent singers interrupted by the occasional, incomprehensible Rastarian rants... Jah, maaan!
