Pub Sunday Lunch In this pub (Smoker not included)

Made a new friend Well, several actually. Visited some old friends on the way to Cheltenham (home of GCHQ ) Tea, pub Sunday lunch, walk the dogs, very pleasant afternoon.

More tasty home cooking

Met a tall man in a pub with old beams and low ceilings, because: irony. Discussed media consumption habits of the young and aging parents. Made a nice break from the merry go round of family obligation's. Cheers 'stretch. Enjoy your time in the old country, and your "honorary mother" title. Judging by how well behaved your son was, you deserve it. As its turned dark and chilly, time for a small indulgence in the form of a cuppa and a "shortie"

Snacks, while waiting for a Tall man and offspring

Very nice carrot cake, with Mother, Sister and brother in law At a cute cafe / deli With interesting decor In a quaint village (Yes, that is a thatched roof)

Perfect excuse to rage join KF / TF2 tonight, Knucks. Fuckers.

The Apple fans use FaceTime, that way they don't have to engage with the great unwashed. It is rumored that Google fans use hangouts. Both of them WebEx, here for work.

Local delicacies

Plankton ahoy!

Had lunch with Mother, Sister, Brother-in-law and (trying to be Vegan, because his girlfriend is) nephew. Good times, not the sort of thing you can do from 5000 miles away. Kudos to the staff who managed to rustle up something non meat, fish, egg, dairy, or cheese based in an Italian - gluten free pasta / pesto / veggies.

Just the one starter!

This is head case, dew eet! (Or does that only apply to inanimate objects)

"Without touching"

And does it really tie the room together?

I couldn't possibly comment. (After installing, rebooting, resetting date and time(zone) to manual, and re installing / selecting US / no data saving in case that was the problem

^ #firstworldproblems solved! Banish the misery of your children not knowing which particular track of "dad music" they are being subjected to, on the school run? N'est ce pas?

Signed up for trial in the UK 7 free days ... Not 30 it would appear ... Works for me Initial check shows hits for most of the obvious search terms, although some of the older / non mainstream artists don't have complete discography. Also looking at the albums, looks like they have been recently sourced - e.g latest reissues / remasters. Could be an issue if you want that album, with that DR. And the expected USD=GBP pricing. Welcome to rip-off Britain, although I expect 'stretch can stretch to it. Further research is indicated.

Discovered that HBOGO doesn't cross the pond Parts of Amazon prime are likewise geolocked Bits of Netflix are ok Spotify roams ... And no surprises with the BBC iPlayer

Back at my 81 year old mother's with a decent DSL WiFi ... (Finally) And she's not in cell blackspot either... Yay for mother's (everywhere)

And again. Lucky I has a starter, otherwise it might have been a bit of a sausage fest.

Rather than sit in rush hour traffic on the M25, diverted to Bluewater for something to eat. Decided to avoid the local instance of Five Guys (yes, really) Instead, fixed price menu before 6 @ Browns. Not dissapoint.
