Witterings from The Witterings
Glad no one hurt when the train was derailed by the landslide in Cumbria today. Where's Jenny Agguter and her red bloomers? #cumbria #therailwaychildren

At number 1 court Wimbledon. Happy to be kept an eye on by the Royal Marine in the background. Lovely guy who will be back at Lympstone next week.

Get to the self service till in Chichester #Waitrose and it says I need to pay £99. Before I start scanning. Called member of staff over and yes person before me has walked out without paying. Staff say they can't do anything. I'm fuming!

The free hour of electricity from @octopus.energy is very stressful. Half hour to turn everything on and another half hour to turn them off again.

Must get my hearing checked. I thought the BBC radio 4 presenter just said there was a narrow boat in the House of Commons today.

Cycled the Salterns Way today all the way to Chichester Cathedral and 9 year old Sophia loved the Dutch roundabout. She exclaimed "the cars stopped for us!" @chichesterlibdems.bsky.social @chicathedral.bsky.social @jessbrownfullermp.bsky.social @katemossewriter.bsky.social

I was lying in my room
And the news came on TV
A lotta people out there hurtin'
And it really scares me
Love and mercy, that's what you need tonight
So, love and mercy to you and your friends tonight

The Rik Mayall Comedy Festival starts tomorrow in Droitwich Spa. I've visited the town a few times. The birthplace of St Richard, Chichester's local saint.

80 year's ago today my mum was working as a telephone operator in Churchill's War Rooms. News came through that the war in Europe was over and she left her post to join the celebrations in Trafalgar Square. Her husband, my dad was still fighting in Burma #VEDay

Will obviously commemorate VE Day but not forgetting VJ Day. My dad was fighting in Burma on VE Day and it was another year before WW2 was over and he could come home #vjday

Now we are tall
And Christmas trees are small
And you don't ask the time of day
But you and I
Our love will never die
To kiss and cry, "Come, first of May"

The Good Life is 50 years old today. I'm a fan but looking back Tom just didn't like working. Why he didn't he sell the house and buy land? #thegoodlife
