Full of cold, fucked work off for the day. Gonna sit in the van with the heater on somewhere scenic up a big hill and do a bit of paperwork while watching the rain. Stopped off on the way for the best full English in the peak district. Lovely stuff

Bit of a double edged sword this one.

Going to the football tomorrow night with my brother, £5. 

Only downside is our home form is wank.

Can't say things like that without telling us where you got it from!

The Old Smithy in Monyash. It's a right gem. I've sampled breakfasts far and wide and nowhere can come close to a proper fresh, hearty breakfast on a rainy winters day while sat next to the fire here.

In summer the place is absolutely mobbed - by the time it opens at 9AM there's dozens of motorbikes parked outside the place as it's become a bit of a bikers haunt these last couple of years. It's one of the reasons I look forward to winter - this is the first time I've been in months.

You used to get two eggs though 🥺

[fairkens]

Shame about the egg. Anywhere that does bubble and squeak and tinned toms is a winner for me.

Ironically I'll be around that way in the summer

I love a bargain, so was delighted to see this Aldi shower creme with 50% off!

I'd be topping that off with another one and scanning it through 😂

What's the name of the cafe? That looks tremendous.

I’m not normally a fan of roadworks and traffic lights but I’m very happy to see these here. I’ve been waiting for this work to be done for over a year. It’s to run a 11kV power cable under the street.

The water board will be along next week to dig it all back up and damage said cable because it wasn't there on the plans!

Old Smithy at Monyash. Absolutely cracking cafe in a lovely part of the world. Go in winter when they have the log fire on.

This may be old news, but I've just spotted that the ex-@Erebus Peugeot 205 is one of the cars pictured on the 205 Wikipedia page (photo taken at FOTU a couple of years back).

[myglaren]

That should do it!

Now it's free to sell on eBay I have been listing random items that I have no need for any longer and it's made me pleasantly surprised how much people will pay for other people's tat. If I keep it up I will have enough money to spend on new random stuff and so the cycle continues 🙂

This has just been dropped off by the (very soggy) postie. Gonna stick it to the dashboard in the Panda.

Being a postman, I'm very glad it's my day off. I'm just sitting at home, drinking coffee and looking out of the window. It's one of the few jobs where you're happy when it pisses down on your day off.
