And Victoria, he may have some luck and an old UCL Queen may pass by his window one evening at eight.

Re: need a hobby
Here in Melbourne we have gone into a six week severe lock down thanks to the premier and his less than useless ministers.
So what to do, July 3 hot water service blew up, fitted new one next day.
July 24 heating system packed up, new one fitted August 1.
New fence being put up as the old one fell down in some bad weather.
Yesterday we had Snow, the first here since 1993, prior to that in 1985 and before that 1962.
Pity it did not last as I could have sat and counted the snow flakes as they fell, but no, political correctness say you can no longer call them that.
Bought a new bog of bird seed, might spend the morning counting the number of seeds, take me to lunch time.
But thank fully I have more than enough to keep me going for the next four weeks, then.............................

Re: need a hobby
Victoria, you mentioned sometime ago that your hubby liked the Land Rover defender, which sadly the old type has ceased production and is being replaced by a jelly mould. However good news a INEOS GRENADIER a like for like the old Defender is due out in 2022, now the bad news, the cheapest model will cost £50,000.00
