Hi all, booked a summer hol. Woohoo!
Getting stage lights ready for tomorrow's gig - just a few, very small stage. Found a pack of German Doner Kebab wipes in the lighting box. Hmmm... might come in handy!
13/30 here and 600+ AFD's (except Menorca!) since my last drink. I'm a rebel really. I go into LIDL with an Aldi bag when feeling mischievous - life in the slow lane.

Not unlucky Friday 13th for me; I heard today that I have won £50 in the January premium bond draw 😲. Only my second win in about 20 years. Mind you I only have a few bonds.6 -
