Poo

I left for work this morning, and joined compiegne way, near the railway bridge, to go into Bury St. Edmunds around the Sugar beet factory down to Northgate street.
I straight away became aware of a nasty smell, and thought "that isn't a sugar beet factory smell" and realized that the articulated Lorry in front of me had about 20+ tonnes of manure in the trailer.
So when I got to the dualled section of this road, I thought I'd pass the Lorry and get ahead of the Pong, and moved into the outside lane. Half way alongside the Lorry a stone hit my car windscreen and put a big chip in it. I now wish I'd stayed behind the muck and put up with the smell.
Got Auto glass coming to repair the screen, hopefully, next week. Under insurance policy with only a £10 excess and no loss to no claims bonus.

No.5

Hanging Baskets

Each year I make a couple of hanging baskets, and this year has to be my best attempt yet. The two are both identical, and each contains two scarlet cascading begonia's.

Colchester

I travelled down to Colchester to work today, because they were short staffed, and when I got there, they said we'll put you in No.5.
Well that gave my mates a great laugh when I told them, and I didn't see a pair of white stilettos all day, maybe I wasn't far enough into Essex.

Lotto

I was out of routine on Saturday, down to not having to work and a large amount of Lager in the Moreton Hall Pub on Friday night.
At about 11pm I realized that I hadn't bought my Lotto ticket for that nights draw. I do the same numbers for both Wednesday and Saturdays draws.
So I put on Teletext to look for the result. . . . .

I saved myself £2

Phew
