    Just Sainsbury's this week
    Awful when I went on Monday. NO RASPBERRIES!

      I'd be fined if I went to Sainsburys since it's in Swanea and thusly out of bounds.

      The afternoon, overcast though it was, was occupied with bagging up more Marley tiles, this time with the older thicker stronger black bin bags of yore.

      Then it was more potching about in the garden pulling up weeds and such like.

      The greenhouse is now even fuller of drying off weeds than previously.

      I look forward with eager anticipation to the next bonfire, there now being sufficient vanities to keep it going for quite a while.

      Tea (once I've recovered from the afternoon's exertions): Tesco non chunky breaded haddock, more stewed pears, 0.91 pints of good Glengettie tea.

      Entertainment: TBD, possibly "Lost in La Mancha".

        Parts of "Slough" can be nice, give me a shout if you get there, I will give you the tour.

        I live near Slough.

        well done with the interview.

          Mundane laundry is on, and indeed nearly done

          And the concoction with the shin of beef is made, and turned out really well. It's cooling now, as its ultimate destiny awaits it this evening

            You'll be able to do the "The Office" tour, should some enterprising person have thought of setting one up

            Though the office building got knocked down the other year, and there isn't really much else actually in Slough, other than the roundabout. In fact, it should probably just be "The Office Title Sequence" tour

              I worked in slough many years ago. It was a concrete wasteland populated only by chavs and their hideous squealing offspring, blowing their giro on Sunny D and a quarter of black.

                I believe it's just about time for Friday Fizz.

                  When I was working in Slough I caught the train out one evening as I was meeting up with some people after work. I was amused with how many people checked with me they were on the right platform to get the train to London. I've never had this in other places in the SE.

                    You need to stop hanging out in the spoons.

                    There actually some nice restaurants in the villages and Windsor/Eaton/Maidenhead/Marlowe/Ascot.

                      So places that are not in Slough then?
