Morning all.
Carpet shampoo'd  in front room yesterday, so today I will be sorting through all my accumulated rubbish to move it back in there at last.
Ocado order due later this morning too.

Quote from: Vlad on Yesterday at 12:17:25 PMJust been going through some boxes of bits and bobs from the house move last year. I found a "Jim fixed it for me" pin badge which I won, I had to guess the weight of two snooker balls in a leather pouch whilst blindfolded.
It was a long time ago, happy memories

They get on my wick,  but I just mute them.

 They haven't spoken to each other since returning ..
It's all a bit sad in a way,  but no more sad than the thousands of other  families this happens to,  but we don't  hear about them.

Quote from: JBR on Yesterday at 05:28:56 PMNo.  There is little to watch on ITV now in our opinions.  We watch the old Coronation Street every day it is on, but I'm damned if I will pay to avoid the adverts, especially as they are only on for 2 or 3 minutes each time, at least in this programme.

Quote from: Raven on Yesterday at 05:57:43 PMI've always loved wind up clocks, have several working ones down in my Perth house. I love my old Grandfather Clock it has such a lovely deep tick. Don't have the chime on as it's a bit loud, especially during the night.
Hi Raven,   I have got an old chiming clock,  but a mantel piece one,  not a Grandfather one.
I can set it on either Westminster or Whittington chimes, and it chimes every 15 mins.
I bought it 52 years ago,  and it was already old then,  so God knows its true age.
I love that old clock,  but it harder to find proper clock menders nowadays.   
If you can't plug something in,  or it hasn't got batteries,  there's not a lot of help anymore.

I've also got lots of old memories from years ago.   Old photos,  my Dad's medals from the Air Force, letters from my Mum,  a school report from when my son was in Junior school, along with his baby identity bracelet from when he was born in hospital, and even some puppy's milk teeth from dogs I loved and lost years ago.
