Eurovision cancelled for this year. I know that will upset some nice people.

Gutted. We have been to the contest before, but this was the first year ever that we had tickets for the final. Before we have been to the jury final, which is like a dress rehearsal.  We were also due to go to Washington DC last Friday, but our plans were cancelled five minutes before we left for the airport. Things are not going well on the holiday front this year. Our January trip got interrupted by acute viral gastroenteritis and my best Exorcist impression. Oh well, something else will come along.

Will your tickets be valid for the next Eurovision?

And any news of GDB?

What I want to know is how something that you swallow at night with a good glass of water can make your breakfast taste really odd the next day? You get a metallic taste in your mouth without having to do any sucking.

What on Earth are you swallowing for that to happen? Is it a medication?Cakeguts said:

If you wipe a wee, then rest the tissue on the towel radiator to dry out ... I wonder how many times it can be re-used... probably 2-3.  

P.S. Only guesses.... if you know we'll know you tried it  

That would work with that Izal stuff as long as you shook it carefully first before drying. The only problem is that I don't know if you can still buy it. I will look on Amazon. If  you can still buy it I bet they won't have sold out of that.

Izal is useless. There is zero absorbency. 

Zopiclone. I had forgotten it did that and only remembered when my morning tea tasted weird.

A what?  Not three more like 2 and 1/5th the 1/5th being me.  Propped up by psychiatric medication and Janacek Glagolitic Mass.  I didn't get the Mass prescribed just music I enjoy listening to and there was no limit to the number of hours I could continuously listen to the same piece of music. About 4 hours so far. I don't get bored. It lasts for just over 40 minutes so 4 hours of 40 minutes repeated.  I will probably listen to it again soon.

That reminds me of when I was in my 20s and got a bout of shingles on my abdomen. Luckily, it was early enough for my GP to prescribe Acyclovir, a topical antiviral paint.

One of the effects that the instructions mentioned was that within seconds of you applying the paint to the shingly patch of skin,  you got the taste of almonds in your mouth. 

Weird or what! 
Luckily I like almonds.

And it cleared up the shingles toute suite!

That is ace both the almonds and the getting rid of the shingles. I got shingles and it hung about for the full time. Very painful.

There is a robin trying to solve the housing crisis by building a whole block of horizontal flats in our garage.

Ah that might cause a slight problemette. I am writing this on a computer plus it is pitch black outside now and our garage doesn't have any lighting in it. It is actually trying to fall down. It may not have any foundations. They were not all that fussy about things like that in 1925.  What is holding it up at the moment is probably the one next door.  They were built as a pair. My house is odd.  A lot like me really.
