The Beach.
The beach is a state of mind, where we escape from the must to the maybe and what if, where thoughts may be lightly etched on the shore or sculpted in the sand, admired and commented on by others, then swept away by the waves or jumped on by small children of all ages...

IRL Summer seems to have arrived - and about bl**ming time too!
However, this beach can be guaranteed to have perfect weather 24/7/365, and it's always nicely warm - neither too hot or too cold.
A variety of flapjacks on the NC bar (plain, apple, chocolate and blackcurrant) - colleagues were selling them in aid of Macmillan yesterday. Because WCC want to collate all the money raised in various Macmillan fundraising events before sending it on, we can't do "the" coffee morning, as apparently Macmillan like money for that event to be sent directly to them, rather than being processed/collated beforehand, to make it easier for them to calculate how much has been raised specifically from that event.
I'll also restock the bar with a variety of wines, the obligatory Pimms, and get a few trays of ice cubes cooling in the under bar freezer. Cheers!

Lady Sue - The Spanish dollar (also known as the piece of eight, the real de a ocho, or the eight real coin) is a silver coin, worth eight reales, that was minted in the Spanish Empire after a Spanish currency reform in 1497.
It was legal tender in the United States until an Act of the United States Congress discontinued the practice in 1857.
Through widespread use in Europe, the Americas and the Far East, it became the first world currency by the late 18th century.
Many existing currencies, such as the Canadian dollar, United States dollar and the Chinese yuan, as well as currencies in Latin America and the Philippine peso were initially based on the Spanish dollar and other 8 reales coins.
The term peso was used in Spanish to refer to this denomination and it became the basis for many of the currencies in the former Spanish colonies, including the Argentine, Bolivian, Chilean, Colombian, Costa Rican, Cuban, Dominican, Ecuadorian, Guatemalan, Honduran, Mexican, Nicaraguan, Paraguayan, Philippine, Puerto Rican, Salvadoran, Uruguayan and Venezuelan pesos.

(70 & 71) many thanks. Big Sis: are you referring to the images? I can sort of see a lion.
Fifi: I did have a look at google/wiki but the coins they show are rather more minted than this piece of eight. My late hubby was a treasure hunter, amongst other things, and this came from one of his trips in the Caribbean. He told me it was originally a flat piece of silver that was roughly cut into eight pieces, hence the name. I'd love to find out more about it. Perhaps some of the other bloggers can shed some light.
BTW: is it 'Talk Like a Pirate Day' or have all the bloggers just got Friday-Beach Nuttiness?

Fifi: I was listening. So funny. I love R4. Completely addicted. Actually, what's odd is that I have it on a "real" radio in the kitchen and, when I walk up here to my study, it's coming through the computer. There's a delay that enables me to leave the kitchen and walk up here (it's a biggish house and therefore a longish way) but I get enough of a delay to hear the last few words again. It's a mystery. Wonder if it's something to do with Big-Bangish molecules hurtling around the house or the delay in the pips or both.

Stewart - tell them electricity is perfectly feasible but you'll need to charge them for it. Get a copy of your latest bill and try to explain the terms of usage, price per unit used, extra you will need to charge for installation of latest electricity meter etc. You'll probably find after the first 2 minutes they'll have quietly wandered off, muttering "Doesn't matter Dad. Forget it, all right? Just forget it."

anasee, Val P. Both good ideas. There is an execrcise bike in the garage. Could rig it up. But those low voltage LED lights are probably the answer. Camping electrics plugged into the conservatory is an option. Alternatively I could put Photovoltaic panels on its roof. And a windmill perhaps. They could then sell the electricity back to the grid. Should pay for itself in 18 years or so.

Ear-worm sorted. Without the help of n-n's ear-birds

and would they be ear-robins, or what, I wonder?

Val, I just couldn't, too much info, thanks, even if good songs. How do boys manage to sleep in front of nasty stuff on telly? Is that sexist over-generalisation? Should I care at this hour on a Sunday?
DI - ear-worm is a wonderful term I've only just learned; it's when a song or tune just keeps going round your head for ages... and it's not neccessarily a tune you like... it just gets stuck there...
I get mutant ear-worms ()nurse!!!() when one song gets sung to the tune of another, for which I blame R4 and t'other Humph, or they segue - as with 'Tarwathie' and 'The Bonnie Ship the Diamond', above; got a bit of 'Silver Herrings', too.

Nodding* motorbikes, grrrr.
After pleasant morning getting to, and afternoon in, Scarborough, we headed for home. Crossed the Humber Bridge. Pulled in to a lay-by on the A15 to await the other bike, delayed as it turned out by a gaggle of bikers at the bridge toll, which rather flustered the attendant who took ages to take the money.
Once they too had stretched their legs in the lay-by, we set off for the next cafe to warm up a bit. Except the T-bird wouldn't start.
1.5 hours later Mr RAC arrived; he was a car man, and couldn't fix it. Mutterings about the 'crank sensor, or whatever the equivalent is on a bike'. The other bike headed forward into the gathering twilight (thank you, Stan Freberg, for that phrase!) while we waited in the dark and cold for an hour for Mr Tow.
Keeping bike owner's spirits up was a challenge. Keeping warm less so, as we had the leathers of course. I had put the gloves back on, and was just contemplating the helmet as well when the Mr Tow arrived from Grimsby.
Midnight, I got home, complete with helmet hair and a dehydration headache. To a bacon butty and a mug of tea, courtesy of SO, and bed by 1am, totally worn out.
Leather bikini, yeah right. If I'd had a leather bikini on, perhaps we wouldn't have had to wait all that time for help to get home!!!

It has been brought to my attention that some 30 million of our currently registered Sprout Bank are thought to be fake. This is quite worrying, as this represents some 2% of the total - and the last time this happened, there was a run on the Sprout Bank. In order to avoid the runs, just bite your sprouts; if they disintegrate into a slimy mess they are genuine - any sort of resistence/crunchiness etc they are false and should be thrown on the compost immediately.
(I have of course referred this matter to SOCA (the Sprout Organised Crime people).)

David (a gross, but never gross!): I tried your method tonight on the way to a meeting in a pub. I'd been dithering about whether to pedal there and have a glass of wine at the meeting or drive and have the wine back at home later.
I sat in the passenger seat of my own car for fully 5 minutes. I even put the keys helpfully in the ignition.
In the end I drove there, had a very small glass of wine (costing what a large glass used to!) and drove home.

Belated what ho everyone!
Wasn't able to post from work today as we had an Eddie of a day, barely time to do the work! Was not aided by having to type one handed with my wrong hand most of the day.
Had a little accident on the way home last night. Tube train was absolutely packed the whole way - worst I'd ever experienced. I was standing up in the door area, wedged in like a wedge under a door with another wedge behind me. Being a considerate sort I'd put my work shoulder bag on the floor between my feet, so it wouldn't be in anybody's ribs. In the course of the journey with people getting on and off I drifted towards the centre - my bag did not follow. A few stops from the end of the line I attempted to recover my bag, ready for the mass scramble to the escalator. However, such was the press of people I had to bend at a funny angle, and in the process of reaching for my bag pulled a whole load of muscles in my arm, shoulder, neck, chest and back. I had to get off the train because I felt sick and faint with pain and heat exhaustion.
Thanks to some TLC from Mrs Wonko when I got home I was in less discomfort, but none-the-less spent a very uncomfortable night. This morning it wasn't much better, but slowly during the day the apothecary's concoctions did their work. So, here I am, still in discomfort but now able to type two handed again (just) and not feeling like I'm going to be ill or fall over! And I didn't even get a day off work!
Har-umph! :o( []

Molly - my sympathies to you about your shoulder! No, it's not been x-rayed. I was assured by the nurse at my GP's surgery that nothing was broken. She said there had been some tearing of muscles tissue, but it would be ok in a few days. I'm under strict instructions to keep the arm moving - bending and flexing - and keep taking the tablets!
She also recommended some gentle yoga to keep the muscles from going into spasm and the joints aligned properly. Fortunately not two weeks ago Mrs Wonko and I invested in a certain flat, board like add on for a certain home entertainment console (other ways of suddenly realising it's 2:00am and you've been playing for six hours straight are available). It turns out I'm rather good at the Yoga exercises!
