Good morning! Quite a snap in the air as I took my daily constitutional  eeek:

Apparently it's Black Friday... wondering if that's a good or a bad thing  rubschin:

Why? I've not heard anything.

Something to do with half-term getaways and traffic. I shall not be going out  ;D

Who in their right mind is going to 'getaway' at this time of year? In case you hadn't noticed, it's a bit bloody parky out there - far too much so for lounging round the pool or on the beach!

I'd favour staying in with the heating turned up!

TMR is in Kos, Nick is in Spain (probably).
They are seeking warmer climes for the half-term.

The common was covered in mist and the green was frosted.

That sounds like the opening sentence of a 'who dunnit?'  rubschin:

Hmmmmmmmm
That would be right I 'spect. In Wales the half term is the following week and we always go away as it is cheaper than going to the same place during the English half term (Saving 'bout £200).
So once again it's off to the Costa Del Dorset for me.

The trusty beagle, ever alert to danger, catching a faint aroma of Welshness mingled with stale cabbage and chalk dust, wisely sloped off into the bushes out of harm's way.

The Wench then pulled her trusty grenade launcher from her trendy Cath Kidston handbag and blasted in the direction of the creepy stalker. Thus shattering the peace but rendering her safe from freaky wierdos.

However voluptuous Wenchy, wishing to set a fearless example to her quivering and rapidly retreating canine companion, gaily tossed back her shiny and luxuriant dark tresses and sweetly called out into the night @How's there?'

Just an quick trip off topic ~ (but who can tell what the topic was anyway) ~ why is it that schools and those who work in them still smell the same as when I was a kid ie of Chalk dust and over boiled cabbage?
There are no blackboards anymore .... it''s either white boards or "interactive" white boards .... so teachers are presumably high on the fumes from their markers but there is no chalk. Likewise few schools ever serve, let alone cook, cabbage ~ meals are delivered and reheated .... so where does this school smell come from? Even brand new schools smell that way within a couple of weeks of opening.
I bet Mr Wench smells of it when he gets home. Teachers just do.
