Lazybones - give us tales from Mancunia.
Did you stay over? Did you purchase a new top at Afflecks Palace from Joe Bloggs?*
*Yes - this show the last time I was in Manchester and definitely ages me.

I'm putting off chores as long as possible, but I am running out of metaphorical shadow to hide in... see you later. (And it won't be listening to the idiocy of England's batting philosophy.)  Bollocks (as ovine grazing is notorious for being tree hostile) |

Hi!
I am in Manchester. I got to the hotel yesterday and put on a different T-shirt and jumper. Then went out.
It was a good night. We had some drinks, then an Indian meal then some more drinks, then some more drinks.
On the way back to the hotel we saw a woman jump on a man’s back - a piggyback - but she fell off and cracked her head on the pavement. The sound was unpleasant - a sort of dull thud. She had blood in her hair and round her neck and face. My friend is a doctor so was able to do some re-assuring doctorly stuff, then we shambled off.
I have whisky breath. I feel depleted. But … I did not hit my head.
The birds of Sizewell need to buck up their ideas. Feathery hobos….

I think Richard Ashcroft also wore Clarks.
I had some Clarks pasty shoes in the 1990s. My main memory is of walking through a park in Liverpool and having them ridiculed by some kids.
‘Like the shoes, mate.’

"A western marsh harrier in flight above the RSPB Minsmere reserve in Suffolk."
Are you sure, I mean really sure, that it doesn't have invisible legs or something?
Perhaps it's buggering about on a trampoline.

I like your shoes, lazybones. Afternoon all! Swimming didn’t happen this morning. Went into the boy’s room, saw how tired he was, and I instantly foresaw how the lesson would unfold. Instead, we went up to Sheffield Park, and instead of walking around the National Trust maintained gardens and lakes, went on the nature trail. Which was nice. Lunchblog: leftover chicken and ham pie. I did not eat the battlements, as they’d gone rubbery in the fridge. |

Hi
Tesco click and collect earlier. Then caught a first class train to Baconville. Delish.
Rest of Sunday plans: Watching cricket. Pottering.
OTTM, nope.

My favourite is when they try to pronounce Elvis Presley.
"Ervis Plesrey"
A mate told me that...could be balls. He is a daft racist. I don't talk to him any more. Well, not since the Chinese Embassy incident.

Chores part 1 over, watched a part of Warcraft; I'm astonished a) at how good it was to watch; and b) how much I was enjoying it. Too much; going to have to give it full attention*. It looks and sounds much better on my 55" 4k TV than this gif makes it look *It joins Ms. Marvel (thanks be to my benefactor) and Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald... |

What would you do?
"Worker who was accidentally paid 300 times his salary takes the money and runs"
One employee who discovered he had been paid nearly £150,000 for a month’s work instead of the usual £450 decided to duck and run.
The unnamed staff member at Consorcio Industrial de Alimentos in Chile did initially raise the eye-watering overpayment for May with his manager who then flagged it to HR.
He agreed to return the cash and promised to go to the bank the following day. But instead of giving it back, the man withdrew it and hasn’t been seen since.
His employer Consorcio tried to make contact with the man over the next three days but to no avail, according to local media outlet Diario Financiero.
They later received contact from the unnamed man’s lawyers who informed Consorcio that the man had resigned from his position with the company.
After no sign of contact, bosses at the company decided to file a complaint with law officials charging the man with misappropriation of fund.
The average take home pay in Chile is £750 a month, £300 more than the unnamed man was receiving.
No arrests have been made so far.

So I think there might be a wasps nest in our shed. Having a poke around in the dried bonfire material and ended up with a few appearing. Not very stung but contemplating revenge. Water, fire or another method?

Candy floss dipped in lager and then sugar. Go in with a jacket made of that and ask them politely to leave.
