    Shops in second hand items had a field day during the lockdown. Many people cleaned up their attic, garage and storage room. Stuff that was hidden from view for decades resurfaced and ended up in the second hand stores for a second chance at life. Not all stuff was so lucky because lots of it ended up at recycling centres to be reused and made into different stuff. I went twice ...[text shortened]... re waiting lines of over an hour and during those hours I contemplated my own second chance at life.
    Great stuff!

    Sleep has been evading me for several nights now. I'll slip off the radar for a while, but don't worry, I haven't be banned.

    Oh man! Please be well my good man.
    Calcium and melatonin in small doses may help.

    Please know that you'll be missed if not here. 🙂

    A bride’s head revisited.

    At the bottom of the surprisingly robust and still clompy staircase was a damp smelling low-ceilinged space 12 foot square with a decrepit but familiar red-bricked servant’s oven and a couple of wooden shelves. The lath and plaster ceiling bowed precariously. A large toad still lived its lives in the damp of the far corner. My breathing shortened as I stood at the oven and an Edwardian smell of baked bread and cakes reached me from somewhere...I pointed to the wall to the left; “I hid the body there” I blurted at the patient but incredulous detective, “115 years ago”.

    Gill tightly clenched his toes and his fists as these seemed to him to be appropriately affirming additions to the foetal position his body had involuntarily assumed in deep dank darkness. He lay there permitting but not encouraging the chills to dance on his lower spine; their prosaic prickly pirouetting an unpleasant but welcome distraction from the withering winding wi ...[text shortened]... g sweat stench...”lockdown’s a bitch when you’re coming down, ain’ it?” his fellow prisoner sneered.
    "Nevermind that", he croaked. "Is there anything NEW on Netflix?"

    You may be at the epicentre of the goat thing. No sign of any goat activity by us as yet but I am now on the alert. Guards will be posted on the A55. Keep us informed.
    I remember a conversation in a pub away back - The only good thing to come out of North Wales is the A55🤷‍♂️🚬

    I'm guessing I can find this on the internet?

    Let me check to see if it's available on Roku.
