  According to the Internet - lol - no. Seriously - they say it is "World's Smiles Day" - today!
  So I sort of smiled "when they said that". Quoting a front page newspapers headline from today 2 October. "Post now for Xmas or Cards Won't arrive"?
  No. Not an alleged Fox News Tale Spin but a British newspaper. OK. Everyone in the UK rush out now and send your Christmas missives I thought and ........... on this day still warm enough to take off your shoes and socks. But we will not - remove said items - because we are British and where is my knotted kerchief?
  As I sit here I will muse whether anyone calls these headline writers to account for such simplification of our world? Oh and I will be writing out my Xmas cards of course - listening out for that tune - Postman Pat Pending. Not the Last Post though - which is normally used for really REALLY serious matters!
  For Cough? Oh! I say! lol

  Mine was going really well until I went to vote ("No") and found I was registered for a postal vote and they wouldn't let me! Was also very put out that the local council had the roads to the polling station blocked/closed for roadworks. Surely that is illegal?
  
  Anyway - that's RL: on the beach I have shed yet another year (presume we can be any age we like here) and am about to pour a glass of the sparkly stuff.

  I'm afraid I will be missing the blog for the rest of the month, as I'm temporarily becoming one of those peeps who finishes work at 5pm ... and has to fit all the things I used to do during the week into the evenings and weekends!
  
  I will be spending PM itself failing to find my way out of Peeborough. Last week, out of 5 attempts, I managed to retrace my excellent inward route only once - and that was more by accident than through good judgement. How on earth do other people navigate in the absence of decent signage or tall landmarks to give a sense of direction?

  Big Sis, This is for you.
  
  I have had Sam for five days now. He is great. I have started house training and he is doing well. I'm feeding him on dry food at present with plenty of water but, I have on occasion had to drag him away from the cats bowl. He loves the taste of cat food. He id doing well and we patter up and down the grass outside my door. I can't take him any further until he has been inoculaterised!
  
  Good news though. I have secured a property with a garden back and front with country views for Sam and the cat (Reg). It sounds grand, however, its a modest bungalow with good sized land attached. I had hoped to have moved in this weekend but the kitchen should have been ripped out and re-furbished by last weekend...they haven't started yet! We will wait a while. He is going to love his new home with his own garden. The cat though...mmm... He is a little traumatised by the whole thing and continually looks daggers at Sam. Sam has been getting the message and backs away when Reg comes into the room...after plucking up the courage that is. All this trauma and trying to move too...

  Re the dried food: I presume you're giving him the puppy sized stuff or he will find it very hard going, but in any event, he may be finding it a bit hard to chew, hence his preference for Reg's dinner. You could try softening up the dried food to see how he reacts - soak it in warm water for a few minutes before putting it down, just til he gets used to it (after all, his teeth are still tiny - like little needles at this stage). You could also try adding a bit of unsalted gravy ...

  No new Beach yet? Sluggards!
  
  In honour of Friday, I'll wrap a selection of Full English in tinfoil, ready to be transported to the new Beach when it's cooked. And then trundle off into the sunrise to see which bits of college equipment I can break and then miraculously fix today.
  
  Thus are reputations as Office Geek created....

  There's a bit of tin foil stuck between your front teeth. Don't use your mobile until you've flossed.

  Don't worry, gossipmistress, there's an abundance of floss available on the Beach since Lucien first appeared. Only problem is it's pink, sticky, and won't pull through your teeth ;o)

  Morning all. I'll just nab some bacon for a butty before heading out for a swim.
  
  Gosh this beach has become a bit sticky underfoot, what with all the candy floss, split wotsits and chocolate sprinkles. I note the sparkly hammock has already been sent to the dry cleaners and the camels on the far dunes are sulking ... definitely time for a new beach.

  Can we please delay the new beach until I've finished licking the sand clean?

  Everybody here knows, or should know, that it is against the rulse to refer to personal info like, street address, postal code, telephone number, etc. If posters insist on referring to the name of my street, I will keep referring them. And that means you, Sprout, as well.

  Humph 308, Everybody here knows that I live in St Albans because I have said so. However, I have never mentioned my address, street name, or telephone number. That others have shows that they are snooping around to find out. I guess that's what happens when you are honest about your name instead of hiding behind a screen name.

A quick look shows several David McNickles around the world, four in the US, but no addresses. You have had so many fake names that I don't really know who you are. Are you the person who lives in N Irl?

  I know somebody here looked my name up some time ago because they posted my street name, as others have tried to do recently. As I have never put it here, that is the only way they could have found it. Also, like with here recently, I got it deleted.

  On a serious point ... I have no idea where you live and I don't recall having seen an obvious street name in any of the posts before they were deleted. It's seems unlikely that anyone is deliberately posting your address ... could it be that your street name is coincidentally the same or similar to a word that others have unwittingly used in their posts?
  This probably all boils down to some very unfortunate crossing of wires (and mixing of metaphors).

  l_d 318, It is a common enough word, but spelling it with a capital letter is obviously done to annoy me and they know it. If it wasn't an infraction of the rules, why do the mods delete it? There are three streets here that use the name, all with the same numbers, like Oak St, Oak Rd, Oak Mews.

  l_d 318, You'll like this, but not a lot. I decided to send a postcard from France to a house I lived in when I was a kid. I told them that I lived in France, but had lived in their house and my father told me that a previous resident who disappeared might be buried under the front porch. In the 16 years we lived there, I never looked to see. No, it is not traceable, so don't bother trying.
