  Sometimes you get a craving for the food of your childhood Of butterscotch Angel Delight, Beans on cheap white bread toast with lashings of butter Or corned beef hash.

  I’m an arse I’ve been caught speeding again. This time 57 in a 50 zone.  My fault it was after night shift.

Albert is happy we are home By the look of the white duvet cover on my bed he looks as though he’s been making snow angels  Night shift tonight from Going Gently https://ift.tt/pC8FefI
