I got some news this morning from Carol, one of the assistants at my favourite bakery. (yes, you guessed it, my Pastie supplier) Now, at this point I should explain that when I moved to this area 35 years ago there were four bakeries, offering various goodies to our largely farming community...

During that time lost packets would be cleaned out...

I found this amusing. I may well have found this on this site or the SW Fac£book

There is one more major task for me to perform, which could potentially take up to 24 hours, though normally just a couple of hours. Terry and I have discussed the best time to carry this out and have decided that Thursday morning is the best time. So, I will make the changes on Thursday...

Terry and I have been having lot of trouble with an error on our website. To be on the safe side can you just post things that could easily be lost. We should be able to get site back fully repaired by tomorrow.

So, doing a little cleaning in my lounge, polish in one hand, duster in the other, vigorously polishing all the surfaces, my wrist starts to go ballistic! Vibrating, alarm ringing and I look at my "smart" watch, which has decided I have taken a hard fall, and if I don't respond in 15 seconds it...
