Miami duty free also disappointed.

I grabbed a bottle of Citadelle gun because it was a modestly cheap (and I'm trying to deplete an old US bank account) and I thought I was running out. Turns out I didn't have even have Citadelle (hell, I should catalogue the cupboards), I have a Citadelle Oak-aged gin, so inadvertent score for me.

Just heard someone on the beeb complaining about the snow in USania " there was no organic milk"

I noticed this too, and nearly spilled me tea!

I'm STILL waiting for my car to be returned from the accident repairers - they have to get the rear view parking camera re-calibrated.

Nah that will be Texas. I was sitting in the San Antonio airport bar last year marvelling at the big sign on the wall forbidding the carrying of firearms (openly or concealed) on their premises. I felt a lot safer.

I'm doing Dry January so heading for SUGAR in lieu of alcomahol, but the only ice cream in the house is Karamel Sutra Core and I don't like that very much.

I just filled the panda from the red to full, the price of diesel is now so low the the total was below the £30 contactless limit. The petrol station didn't do contactless payment. I had to delay for 20 seconds to do chip and pin.

Someone at the Gym keeps organising the spin bikes so they interlock and it takes quite an effort to get ones bike out. Combined with the lady swimmers who seem incapable of doing their 'swimming' in a straight line it is enough to make one want to just give up.

We woke up before the alarm, so it didn't get to play Sonny & Cher at us.  As such, I didn't realise it was groundhog day until lunch time.

I had to buy a new pair of Loake boots so that I had something to wear whilst my Church's are off for an 8 week holiday to get fixed. Very annoying.

I'm sure this is OT, but I have to share it anyway:

I actually turned on the radio this morning and got the Sonny & Cher record. I had an early start, it was still dark, and this confused me a lot. I wouldn't have realised it was Groundhog Day if you hadn't posted!

Chris Evans on R2 had a psychologist who had fixed his life as a result of the lessons from Groundhog day (well he's written a book which presumably fixed his life) and completely missed the opportunity to play Sonny and Cher afterwards

Oh my... ;)

All that's left is a slightly moth-eaten looking parka with half the fur missing from round the hood I am afraid...  :P
