    Had a wine/beer fridge delivered for our upcoming kitchen refurbishment. Top corner of the door was damaged so sent photo to seller on Amazon 

    They have refunded us in full already and we have ordered a new one. We asked when they will collect the damaged one and have said we can keep it or dispose of it as we wish. 

    So now we have got a nice large spare fridge for free to go in the garage or be part of a garden bar that has a slight dent in a door.

    I had a great day on Wednesday celebrating my 64th birthday. I invited Peter Straker to my birthday bash and ended up trying feebly to sing Perfect Day as a change to When I’m 64 at the end of a 10 hour drinking session. On Thursday I went back to the restaurant to pay for the bash and Peter was sitting with his musician friends and I sat at the table next to them with a friend. Suddenly all of them started singing When I’m 64 and toasted my birthday of the day before. A nice touch from Peter. After the musicians left Peter joined my table and eventually the conversation went to football and I said that I supported Charlton. To my surprise Peter said that Charlton was his favourite team after Arsenal and that he has a Charlton scarf at home and that he once sang at Charlton.  Although my head was still numb from drinking sessions I had no recollection of him providing pre-match entertainment. Apparently he is good friends with Jim Davidson who got him the gig. I then went on YouTube to find Peter singing River Deep and Hey Jude before the match versus Wycombe in our promotion year. It made my birthday special.

    @Live by the sword has just confirmed that I'm going to be a grandad to a bouncing baby boy in December.

    You have no idea how overjoyed I am.
    Congratulations to the both of you!!

    My son said "Love you daddy" for the first time.
    This is the best thing.

    My daughter sometimes comes up to me spontaneously and  says for no apparent reason 'you're the best Daddy in the whole world ever' and that just makes my day.

    American kids are speaking in British accents after watching Peppa Pig.
    A question I saw earlier: why is there both a doctor & a vet in peppa pig?
    Maybe the vet is for the hidden humans who are locked away in cages for viewing or consumption.

    My 12 year old regularly refers to me as a nerd. To be fair, she’s not too far from the truth.

    Weirdly the animals have pets like goldfish and insects.

    I recently offloaded a dining table and chairs that I bought on eBay when I was a bit pissed up, and it was really far too big for my little dining room.
    It was taken by the landlady of a pub not far away, and she has just sent me this kind update on my little wooden darlings:

    Just been to The Valley for first time since the pre-pandemic Blackburn game. Nice to see it again and plaque with me and Dads name on it by Sam Bartram statue. Great to see Alan Curbishley Stand on East Stand tickets.

    MY DECKING HAS BEEN F**KING OFFICIALLY  APPROVED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Albeit with conditions (that a trelis be up within three months), but we expected that the moment the application went in.

    Our neighbours (well one of them, the other had no issue with it) can finally piss off!!

    I have met Jenny. She is obviously very entertaining but I would estimate her picture was taken in about 1986. I have also met Mr Jenny. I wouldn't want to upset him.

    I met my grandson for the first time yesterday! My daughter and her hubby live in Stuttgart, and Benjamin was born in January. With the various covid regulations I’ve not been able to visit them, but they’ve come over, and are currently quarantining at ours. 
    He’s a lovely little chap!
    He’s the grandson of Jimmy Seed’s grandson btw. 
    (Thought I’d better mention that - you’d all be disappointed if I didn’t :-))
    Congratulations, is he following the recent family tradition of supporting millwall?

    Talking to the mum of a 3 yr old in the nursery (only part of the school still open) her daughter although fascinated by Bowyer was obviously very fearful. We stood at a distance with a picket fence between us chatting to mum, over 5/10 minutes approaching the fence slowly Mum tickled Bow between the fence encouraging her daughter to do so, to no avail. Turning Bow around I asked mum to scratch his back end which she did and her daughter followed suit. Bow laid in front of the fence as we chatted and with no coaxing at all her daughter reached through the fence to stroke Bowyer. At a distance we accompanied them back to the car and waved them off, happy to meet them again Monday to continue to help.

    I advertised the table and chairs on the local Facebook page in a deliberately stupid way, she bought into it immediately then made it stupider. I look forward to stopping by her pub, The Royal Oak in Ruscombe, in the near future to visit my ex furniture and continuing the nonsense.

    Sounds like flirting to me ... better visit when her husbands out.

    Household all received negative PCR tests yesterday, meaning kids could go in for their last day of term today.

    The boy is full of snot and has a cough. So, he has a cold that most haven't seen for 18 months or so and the school is absolutely fine with it. Happy days!!!
    Lol. Oh, lovely.
    The Common Cold - probably the best coronavirus in the world.
