what's an ode poem example

Got a couple of original paintings from a local artist called Robin Mullen yesterday.

They make me feel very happy when I look at them on my walls.

Phoned a guy who was recommended as a buyer of second-hand records*, as we're having a clear out. Looking through them, I found a note written on a Wimpy paper serviette, from me to Mrs. Gremlin, written probably 30+ years ago. I'd obviously been a bit of a twat as I was apologising for some errant behaviour. :lol:

Fuck me, where did that time go...? :o


*I sent several WhatsApp videos of me flicking through them all, to which he called with a polite 'Thanks, but no thanks'! It'sofficial: we have shite taste in music. :lol:

I was a bit worried a week ago at the start of my job as I thought the new boss thought he'd made a mistake.

But -

Yesterday at the end of the day we had a chat and he was very complimentary and also said he's really happy with the fact that I'm not lazy and I keep learning and am proactive about learning

This morning his wife told me the same (in case he hasn't told me!)

This afternoon he complimented me on a good job for the day


Phew!! :lol:

Me too. It’s the first one I got. Then I circled around Guildford for a bit and went back and got the other.

(It’s Exmouth, apparently)

Listening to local commercial radio yesterday, they have a regular slot for a specialist to give indicative values for old records.

The gist seemed to 'not much'. Even incredibly rare stuff (100 copies ever sold, against a band's wishes) was a £few00. And comedy records like Hancocks blood donor? You're 'avin a larf.
Even bland can be a type of character :wave:

I've been buying old records recently, anything between £2 and £12 usually, but the place I buy them wants proper money for stuff like original Beatles albums. They want £100 for a copy of the white album and £50 for an original pressing of Bowie's Hunky Dory.

These were my most recent purchases...

I bought two Makita 18V circular saws as 'Parts or not working' and both of them work.

An inch-thick slice of good sourdough, toasted to crunchy perfection. Two poached eggs. Dollop of ketchup.

Simple things in life, innit.

Try this with the same bread, peanut butter, then a smear of HP Sauce.
