shopping again.

Debenhams website claims that hey have swimwear & dresses in a sale.
They are being economical with the truth!
They have 4 swimsuits,( sizes 12, 14, 14 & 18) a number of bikinis & no dresses. I did find that they also have scruffy changing rooms with only two small hooks underneath a shelf so that you have to put your clothes on the floor. They have grubby toilets with large toilet rolls sitting on the wet floor, in one cubicle this was down the loo,& no paper towels. However, I did buy a blouse which is exactly the right colour.
Birmingham is not nice.
We came home & cleared up leaves & planted some more winter pansies in the borders.
We are now resting - actually G is asleep.

Norman Painting, Phil Archer in the Archers has died today. He had played Phil for 60 years - a record for any actor. He also wrote one thousand Archers" scripts.
Will they bop him off by next week or find another actor to take over?
He was 85 so presumably there are contingency plans in place.

I am trying to think of something highly contentious to write so that you will all feel moved to comment.

Yesterday morning I had a Paddington Bear sandwich & a cup of tea for breakfast - an unusual choice.
I phoned aj & she was just having exactly the same for her breakfast.
Isn't that spooky?

It's stores like Debenhams that make you shop in Marks. I'm saving my contentious banter to shout at the t.v. during Question Time, and to tell Diane Abbot to stop looking at the ceiling when answering anything on 'This Week'.Now she is spooky; makes Michael Portillo look like a naughty midget schoolboy squashed onto the settee next to her as a punishment.

Exactly.
We didn't go to M&S, but they have a nice black swimsuit on line.
I cannot bear to watch "This Week" as AN, DA & MP are all obnoxious.

I thought that G meant "rumpy pumpy" & had got his bs & ps muddled up again.
Of course, it should be
"rumpty tumpty tumpty tum, rumpty, tumpty tum tum......
