We went to Sainsburys this afternoon and there was no Children In Need stuff happening, no one dressed up, no things to buy to support the cause.. Very strange, they normally go all out

We live in a country with very strange priorities

This evening we went to a gig, China Crisis in Nottingham. They were on stage 8-9, then 9.15-10, we were standing the whole time-my back and legs hurt like hell! Never used to, am I getting old

I don't think so! Standing the whole time it's not easy.

We got up at 5.30am to get to work for 7am, in the evening we got home but didn't get to bed until 1.30 this morning, very tired and achy today, didn't used to bother me but it does now, either it is because I am getting older or I just need to be fitter

05.30 until 1.30 No you are not getting old - it is simply that the more mature body that understands such looong periods without sleep are for the young and foolish. They too will understand when they grow up

Found in the Garlic Wedges... I called the helpline and they have sent me some vouchers to compensate (£6). I thought that was a bit stingy really...

Having never had "Garlic Wedges" and not having a clue what they should look like, what was it?

They should look like wedges of potato - as in the picture on packet. The offending item is a potato wedge which has probably been eaten away by a maggot (prior to processing). They are like big chips, flavoured with garlic that you cook from frozen in the oven. Quite nice usually.

Maggots need somewhere to live too

You could just pretend you're out with Bear Grylls

Walking home this evening I trod in something, not fun being outside in the cold cleaning the stinky sole of my boot

be thankful it was what it was and not the stinking, rotting carcass of a wombat that someone had hit and killed and moved to the verge on an inside corner... A few days of really warm weather in full sun and someone else clips the corner (dirt road and single track) knocking carcass into centre of single track dirt road... I was the next person to drive passed. And I thought a rotting or overly mature dead deer was bad... At least the leg I used to drag it with didn't detach itself on the bright side which is what happened with the dead deer... I'm still in two minds whether to try and rescue my brand new gardening gloves or just write off the $15.

Working in the centre of the A1 [someone had to] one of us stood in the remains of a long dead pheasant - it didn't take long to discover which one.

We are off out to the cheese club this evening
