Fred had a strange text message today
Sent to him by Maggie May
He thought he was on a winner
When she suggested he go for dinner
But she only wanted him to pay 💰

Quote from: Mups on <strong>Today</strong> at 10:58:28 AMI suspect that in some cases prisoners may even have a better life than they had outside.
All their meals provided for a start.

I have also been reading about the learning that is provided in prisons these days too, and this includes:

Reading, Writing, Maths, Woodwork, Physical health, and Horticulture.
And through the Open University they can even sit for their GCSE, and City & Guilds!

I suppose they are hoping that with education will come better behaviour.
It could, of course, make them more efficient criminals!
I wonder which of these possibilities turn out to be the truth.

Sunny now,   but bitterly cold earlier,  with thick white, sparkling  frost over everything.

Quote from: Mups on <strong>Yesterday</strong> at 10:40:28 PMThat's a rotten thing to do if they know a puzzle is incomplete.
Some kiddy might have been trying for days to do it,  then at the end, its all been for nothing.

The local Sally Army shop here is not taking anything in at the mo, and hasn't been for a little while now.
My friend who works there said its because people are just using it to dump their junk - probably cheaper than going to the tip.    There is mountains of it dumped outside when the shop is closed too, and most of it is unuseable.

The Cancer charity shop in the high street has closed down altogether now, too.

Pretty much the same thing here, we only have one Charity Shop in Thurso and it used to be good. I looked in once a week when I went over to the Town and usually bought something. Now it's mostly a book if I can find one I fancy, the rests just junk 😥 Such a shame.
GM, Perhaps a biggish notice on the door saying the shop no longer accepts Jigsaws?
