Thursday

G-g-g-ood morning, everyone.  I'm just back from a rootle in the freezer (out in the shed) and it ain't 'arf cold out there.  A hard frost and more or less clear skies.  In the summer I go out to the freezer bare footed but no way today!
At least it's not snowed, unlike yesterday, not that it caused much more than a load of very excited children!  There was snow in the air all day but no more showers and some glorious sunshine which made my wander around town very pleasant indeed.

I did OK in town.  I got some more pjs including (very exciting, this) some a size smaller!  And they fit (just!).  I also got a lightweight suitcase which was my main reason for going in.  I have a smaller lightweight case but next week I will need something larger to avoid having extra bags.  I got just what I wanted in Matalan.  I also found the couple of Landranger maps that I needed (goodness, aren't they expensive?) and had a good rootle around both Foyles and Waterstones.  I love bookshops, don't you?  Disappointingly, neither shop had anything like a guide to Cambridge, so I went onto Amazon when I got home and found what I wanted there, bit the bullet and paid for a fast delivery.  My fault for leaving it until late!

I was terribly lazy come the evening and decided to defer the ironing until today.  As I have a free day until tuition, I shall do it while watching my daily dose of Hugh F-W this morning.  An hour should be plenty long enough.

Instead, I took a nose dive back into total nostalgia.  Anyone old enough to remember The Man From UNCLE?  Oh, that was my to die for TV in the sixties.  How I totally loved David McCallum, as did everyone else at school.  I lived for Thursday evenings.
Well - I can see why, watching it again in my advanced years!  It was funny, tongue in cheek, spoofy type stuff, budget-made, I suspect, but entertaining, very entertaining.  And I could still have a massive crush on Illya Kuryakin!

Back to normality and time is zooming on so I will finish this now.  Have a lovely day, whatever you are doing.
