Yellow Pages

Rather thin Yellow Pages just plopped through my letter box. Stamped on the front is "final edition". Guess this is the end of an era, but do feel a bit sorry for those who do not have computers....

Disappointed

Shopping earlier in Lidl's I was disappointed that I didn't meet one person wearing a poppy. Feel quite sad about this

Bohemian Rhapsody

Went to the cinema today to see this film. Fabulous - even better than I expected. Great cast. Wish I'd taken some tissues as the tears were flowing at the end. If you love Queen, don't miss it.

Weed Killer

Any recommendations for a strong weed killer - not the wee spray type you get in supermarkets. Am going to lay membrane and chip an area. Has been dug out but the dreaded dandelions are through again.

The Wife

Went to see this film today and would recommend it. Glen Close and Jonathan Pryce are excellent and Glen Close has been tipped for an oscar for her performance.
