The next item on the agenda is to phone Portsmouth City Council , but before I can do that the phone rings and it is Pauline, She is up in Salisbury with Gordon today as she helps with his friday cleaning contract and she says it is raining up there and it has just started raining here as well so glad I am not going out today. best place is indoors in the dry.

Well that was a quick phone call I need to get my brother Pat to let me know the registration number of his van and then I can get the free permit to make 3 x Free Drops.

It is now time for lunch and I am going to have some Tinned salmon with 3 x crisp bread, that is always tasty and a nice light lunch I will follow that with a nice Chorley cake and a cup of coffee "Tasty"

Chorley Cake Yummy |
Well that was a nice tasty lunch, feel like another Chorley cake but must not be greedy so will leave it until this evening after dinner, maybe have it warmed up with custard as my desert. so now I need to get this Journal completed and posted on my blog before settling down to an hour or so of Family History research.
The weather is been really horrible here today since about 9.45 it has not stopped raining although it has not been heavy it has been persistent.

The one saving grace is that it is not as bad as in other areas of the country as can be seen from the two following photo,s from the TV News.

So that is about it from a very wet, gray and Miserable Portsmouth and it also had to be Methotrexate Friday although Fingers crossed today there has not been any ill effects as there normally is.
It is now time to sat a fond Tatty byre to you all until tomorrow and leave you with todays "Day in History" from 1925 although for me it brings back nostalgic Memories of 1959 and Drainpipe Trousers, Winkle picker shoes and boot lace ties. "Rock and Roll People until tomorrow.
