Morning all. Quite icy this morning and some drivers were taken by surprise it seems. There was a road closed on our normal route in, due to an accident. That meant a long detour and bad traffic so OH was late for work, but he phoned in as soon as we saw there was a problem.
The 'party' culprits will be getting a bill for the damage, and the headmaster of the school will be informed - most of the kids involved were from the school in the village. They will also be asked to clear up the mess outside - we would have done it but didn't have a ladder. The police have been informed but they didn't attend as at the time we spoke to them we didn't know if they had had permission to be there - turns out they didn't have, and had taken the key without the mum's knowledge. But they asked us to keep hold of a few objects with hard surfaces that they could fingerprint if we wanted them charged with trespass and criminal damage. Not sure we will go down this route, but it does seem that kids these days have no accountability.
Its dry here at the moment and I'm hoping it stays dry at least until lunchtime - a visit to the plot is long overdue!
Morning/afternoon forkers, just back from Stanley bay, had a meal in a German Beer Hall which was on top of a Chinese Martimie Museum, strange as it sounds. Very nice trio of creme brulees, orange, pistachio and hazelnut. Lovely but not very German. Starting to go dark here now or is it the block of flats in front of me? Bought some presents too.
Off to the Business lounge for tea and snacks shortly.
Late on parade -had a bit of catching up to do on this and that-walked around the estate-grass is very soggy-as Scotty would say "she canna take any more Captain"
Lottie-the little sods-I trust retribution will be swift
I want to go to the Marmite museum-please take me- in Bruges they have a chip museum-didn't go in
"The collection is a broad spectrum of plastic-top jars, toy trucks, cookbooks, stuffed animals, thimbles, toast racks, advertisements, and wearing apparel: socks, t-shirts, aprons, and sweatshirts - with the oldest item (1930's) having been excavated from a rubbish dump in Wales."
I'm here. Thanks for all kind comments yesterday that I have just caught up on.

Still waiting for help with the washing up! Kate there may be cake and food later keep checking cyber lockers.Great time had by all. Newest member of family has been appraised and found tearful. Another new member of family also appraised, and found very tall, and quiet. She probably isn't just a bit amazed by what she is marrying into He hE (most of us have a tendency to be short)

Morning lovelies!
Lottie, that is awful.
Will be nice to walk to nursery in normal conditions today.

Hope you are all keeping dry.

Had to look twice at that then Glyn! Thought you said they had a Marmite museum!
Morning forkers all.
Have just typed a post out, quote and all then it disappeared
Don't know what I did wrong. It wasn't that illuminating so I'm not going to redo it.
Lottie, what a shame, I hope the miscreants make suitable redress.
Right, better get up off my annals and make the most of the dry morning.

Chip museum?? Would have thought they'd go mouldy after a time!

Yep-such a thing exists

The largest Marmite Museum is in the US.
