Bank Holiday weekend and no Brian Rix on TV? What's going on? Have I missed something? YES

Nay, Nay and thrice Nay........................

Mr Rix is in "And the Same To You" (seen it) on Monday Bank Holiday 10:35 am TPTV, with Sid James, William Hartnell, Tommy Cooper etc. etc.

Good film, but no dropping of trousers, if that's what you are after. ?

I'm only interested in Brian Rix if he's sans trousers.

Well, you see him in boxer shorts - literally as it is with him playing a "boxer" called Dickie Dreadnought,.

Worth a look.

My current WDA (Work Displacement Activity) is a thing called GeoGuessr https://www.geoguessr.com It's a free online game where you are dropped somewhere randomly on the planet using google Street View (the little yellow man) and have to see how close you can get to pinning down your original drop point location and how. long it takes, just by looking around via Street View, using road signs etc etc
You can narrow down to specific countries if you like (no surprises I choose France)
If you like maps etc it 's good fun.
And wastes a ton of time.

Bunny Rabbits!

Just come back from having my 3 yearly DVLA eye test, and it seems I have passed it with flying colours, and now I should receive a brown envelope from them with a stiff plastic card in it - it being my new driving licence, which will make a change from driving without one for the last 6 months!

One is a happy bunny ?

Just received that brown envelope with stiff plastic card in it, so now am legal to drive for another three years!

AND there was a bonus - they didn't back date it, so in effect, the licence is for 3 years 6 months. Result! Good old DVLA working/not working from home, creating a backlog. ?

Booked my Covid booster jab for the end of this month. No mention of flu one yet though - I thought they were combining it.

I come back from an afternoon at Epsom races and find they've changed monarchs while I've been out.

It's a bit like the day I came home from school and found my parents had moved.

No communications re this yet.
I thought it was meant to be going out this week?

Received the letter this week, as I'm double whammy priority - age and have COPD, and booked it very simply online.

Should get mine soon. At the Hospital I work at.

Having a few beers at the airport before my flight to Denver. I'm gonna hang out with my daughter and grandkids, see Wilco at Red Rocks, and attend my son-in-law's medal of valor award ceremony. Some people get a prison sentence for killing someone, and others get a medal. What a world we live in.

I'm working on my entry for an online Novel writing competition.

I've been working on it for ages and struggling up to 41,000 words. Not sure how much to add. There's nothing in the rules for a minimum word count. Anyway, I did a fair bit yesterday but struggled today.

Just call it a novella.
If it's finished - don't add anything.

I've done the opposite, booked my flu jab, no sign of a Covid booster.
