Good morning all....... Cloudy and dull here in northern England. On to the questions of the day.......
Something that went wrong this year? Our electric blanket broke......... The good thing is Amazon has plenty of replacements.
I wear blue jeans all the time when I go out of the house. I have done so for many decades. My wife says maybe the time has arrived when I should wear proper pants. I will......... when my three pairs of elastic waisted Wranger jeans wear out. I bought them in a Las Vegas Wal-Mart, and they're very comfy.
I have seen a sword swallower. Can't remember where. Might have been while on holiday in Turkey years ago.
The last bottle I opened was a fresh bottle of bacardi last night. The last can was for coke zero for said bacardi.
When on vacation do I prefer all inclusive? Hmmmmmmmm. Well, I booked an all inclusive last night for southern Spain in four weeks from now. I only did so because it was a last minute cheap deal. Some all inclusives are better than others. They're handy for wine with your meal, and coffees after. Some English folk like to get their monies worth, and drink the day away. Beer dragons mainly I find.......
The best all inclusive I ever found were in Tunisia. We would go into the hotel restaurant for our evening meal, and a bottle of wine was by our table in an ice bucket, on a stand. Now, that we liked! Especially as it was all inclusive, and nothing to pay. Sadly, Tunisia is no longer a traveling option.

Pistol Patent Day In the last condo I lived in one of my elderly neighbors used to wave a pistol around if people got him angry. His much younger Moroccan wife was having an affair with one of the local policemen, and she used to tryst with him in their apartment when the husband was at work. I was convinced it would end in a shoot-out. But he developed horrible cramps suddenly and died after a couple of weeks. I wondered if she poisoned him because the policeman moved in the day after the husband was buried.
Have a super weekend!!!
Good grief!!!! It's Saturday. I thought it was Friday....so the holiday is just two days away.
