Trust your gut instincts.

Good evening
Another wet weather day today. None stop rain for most of the day. I ventured out to the Post Office to collect my spondoolies. I need it for shopping later. 
I couldn't be bothered to make a cooked lunch, and I really fancied some cheese and crackers. I opened up a truckle. I had two of these in the fridge, time to make a start on it. Smoked cheese, lovely. Went well with the last of the beer. 
It was time to make another video so I got a diary out and found a story in it. 1992 was a busy year for work. I was a self employed freelance driver and took on the challenge of bypassing the agency and finding my own work. Here is a little story about that. 
It's a cautionary tale about how you should question everything and do your research before committing to anything. There are a lot of dodgy folks out there. 
Tonight I have been to Aldi. Spent £45, and topped up the car with petrol at the Jet Garage, so it's ready should I decide to go anywhere. That's if it stops raining. 
Now Mayze is waiting for a cuddle. 
Thanks for popping in. We'll catch up soon. Toodle pip.   ilona

  1. I like your lamp, I may pop to Hobbycraft and see if they have any similar,.... as my room is quite dark (north facing) and it's getting more and more difficult with a normal lamp (I think it's the eco bubls we all have to use now,.., they don't seam as white and bright as they used to be). Thanks, Norma.

  2. Wow what a story. And thankfully you had journaled the event. I agree if something feels dodgy don’t do it.
