Rain stopped play

Saturday started fine and bright, but soon deteriorated into dull and wet, enough to dampen most Guy Fawkes night bonfires and sparklers. We dodge the rain enough to get the weekly shop done at the local ASDA on Saturday morning, but, the rest of the weekend was quiet and domesticated. Suzie did some baking (I will cook but I don’t bake). Both boys were variously in and out with and without respective girlfriends at various times.

With things the way they are -- me not having a job and no prospect of getting one -- we’ve decided to start selling off surplus stuff on eBay to raise a few quid. First up was Sue’s Samsung mobile phone and a pair of high heeled Italian leather designer shoes. Bought, they pinched her feet and she couldn’t be bothered to take them back. Anyway, both went onto eBay Sunday night, and blow me, the phone was bought for the Buy Now price within hours. So now I have to sort out some more stuff that we don’t want but that somebody else just might.
