    I hope South London works its magic on you to refresh and revitalise you.  😉
  • South London was its usual magical self @Blackcats 😁
    Nice to be back in North though, especially with the start of the football season, though I appreciate you may not be embracing the first match results quite as fully

    It seems to be tricky to re-focus on the Premier League after the dizzy heights of being crowned winners of the highly prestigious, endorsed by a President, club World Cup.  Ours for the next 4 years!
  • Well since it was endorsed by a President 🤣 Surprised Terry didn't rock up to photo bomb it an all @Blackcats 😁
    My memory of that competition is hazy what with the much more recent being crowned winners of the highly prestigious Emirates Cup 😘

    Little walk to meet Mr PIP for beers with camra discount

    Have done no build admin as I have no energy to look at it. Energy is only for eating cheesy pasta bake goodness

  • Saw a couple of men dressed as potatoes.

    Must win the lottery soon, I love this area.

    Also saw my mum and carried her bag back for her. Even though she wasn't dressed as a potato.
    Really must win the lottery soon 🤞

    'I saw a couple of men dressed as potatoes.' That cannot be the end of the sharing. Obviously more information is required by your readers. Well, by this one anyway...
    If you have built castles in the air, your work should not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them

  • Turned out they were promoting a show @doingitanyway but it wouldn't be that unusual round here for them to be dressed as potatoes 'just because'
