The wet weather has encouraged a raid on the games cupboard. The kids' favourite at the moment is Monopoly.

A rather wet day today. The walk to and from the station made all the more interesting by the "Slippery When Wet" signs put out at the top of the stairs at the railway stations.

Well, we're into November and we still haven't put the central heating on.

Yet the predictions are for a cold winter.

Update

For us in the south it was the warmest winter on record!

An enjoyable afternoon gathering fallen chestnuts.

I was really disappointed that the Plaxtol Bakery had to shut their shop in the High Street. It was a real treat to be able to buy a top quality loaf of a Saturday morning. Actually, I used to buy at least 2 as well as crusty rolls and the occaisional cake.

Took the chance of an hour's solo prictice on Saturday morning.

Playing to the rule of scoring a shot if within 18" of the jack, I managed a score of 43 points in 25 ends. Not bad!

The good thing was that I also managed to correct a flaw that had crept into my delivery. I wish I was playing sooner than Wednesday.

A couple of recent trips to Belfast enabled me to enjoy Tayto Crisps for the first time. They seem less salty than crisps at home ... very good.

I went straight to Frank Woolley's birthplace, but I wonder how many of the town's residents could find this blue plaque?

My window on the Internet.

Something changed recently to my SuSE 9.1 machine. I wonder if it came along with the security patches that I download as a matter of routine.

The upshot was I could no longer access the network.
