Hello Possums, Happy New Year to one & all.

What a dismal wet Xmas it was, even our fairy leapt to her death from the top of the Xmas tree. The Churchillian spirit was well in evidence as the Legion was plunged into darkness on Xmas Eve, prompting a candlelit evening of imbibing and jollity. Who needs electricity? Anyone receive a sat-nav for Xmas? “Take the first turning on the right, straight on, at the top turn right, take the second turning on the left, you have now reached your destination, Halford’s cash desk”. I received an amazing exotic carnivorous plant for Xmas that turned out to be vegetarian; on Boxing day morning I discovered that it had eaten itself.

Following the death of Diane Manfriden of Iowa at the age of 115 years, Jiroeman KImura is now officially the World’s oldest person. He was born in Japan in 1897 whilst Queen Victoria was still on the throne. He attributes his longevity to the three S’s: Sushi, Saki and yes you’ve guessed it Sunshine. It’s a jolly good job he doesn’t live here. (more…)

Back from the Yorkshire coast, our Weatherman in the Village says:

Somehow we managed to miss a week – but it wasn’t very eventful except for the seemingly continuous rain which made Christmas and New Year a bit of a soggy affair.

The outlook for the coming week is thankfully a bit drier, and the present mild temperatures look to continue until mid-week when the temperature is forecast to drop toward more normal levels with a chance of overnight frosts returning. Tuesday and Thursday look like being the days with the highest chance of rain.

Telephones, or lack of!

As we enter our third week of no landline and have had numerous second rate excuses from BT, we were wondering if anyone else in the Blog area have lost their service – BT tell us ‘it is an extensive problem both nationally and locally’.

We are now on our fourth promised repair date, all in the last week and all unfulfilled.

Thanking you,

Very sadly,  our final little gerbil died last year.  We aren’t planning on  any more small pets, and wondered if anyone would like the cage they lived  in.  It is a very large plastic tank with a double tiered caged area which  clips on top.  It is in perfect condition, and free to anyone who is either  thinking about getting a gerbil or hamster or already has one but would like to  upgrade the accommodation.  We also have a smaller cage which we used when  we cleaned out the big one, if anyone would like that.

Best  wishes,
Debbie Webster  390568

Lift to Derby?

Hi there,

Is anyone travelling to Derby on Friday the 4th in the morning? Allie and I wondered if we could grab a lift to the train station – we need to be there around 9:30 am or so.

Thanks,
