Very nice! We are forecast a high of 4ΒΊC, which is really nice compared to yet another icy day.

I guess UK Gold increasingly has a lot of stuff to recycle.

There’s britbox over here but I’m
not a subscriber. I am, however, enjoying rewatching Pie in the Sky. I’m a foodie who likes to solve problems.

I was reminiscing about it at home and came across a boxset.

#FruitPiesInASongOrMovie

Boys don't pie 🎢πŸ₯§

Now I would do almost any cream
To get you blackberry pie
But I just keep on laughing
Hiding the pears in my pies
'Cause boys don't pie

I imagine the whole place felt like a movie set at first. I traced some of Ali MacGraw and Ryan O'Neal's steps around the Yard during my very early days in one place. Part of another film he was in during the 1970s was filmed in Bath. I love little links like that.

Now I live on the cover of a Martha and Muffins’ album. The band came from Toronto.

Something like that. My escape then was to the Low Countries for mini breaks until I later moved to Brussels.

It’s very 2026 πŸ–€.

I bought mine in 2001 when doing a job I really hated. At the time, the hidden tracks were like a gift as I was yet to move the city of Echo Beach.

Ah! I had quite forgotten about the dawn chorus back in England. I had sash windows… Thankfully, I adapted to the nose if not the light.

I had shutters and blackout curtains for years.
