Today is of course Shrove Tuesday, but for some reason we had large numbers of pancakes last Tuesday, as a half term week treat for J & S.
It is also the date that the final episode of M*A*S*H was broadcast in the USA, in 1983, becoming the most watched television episode in history, with 106–125 million viewers in the U.S. (estimate varies by source).
Made more pancakes for J.

Beyond A Joke
Just been reported that Pete Doherty has been arrested again, this time, according to The Guardian, on suspicion of stealing a car and being in possession of Class A drugs.
He was one of three men stopped in Birmingham on Monday night and detained in connection with a report of a vehicle having been stolen in London. A spokeswoman for West Midlands Police said: "Three men were arrested on Monday when a car was stopped in Colmore Row at approximately 9.15pm. "They were arrested on suspicion of theft of a motor vehicle relating to a report of a car stolen in London and on suspicion of possession of Class A drugs. "One of the men was aged 26 and from London. The other two are aged 18 and 19 from Dundee. They have been released on police bail pending further enquiries."
This is just getting ridiculous now - I think we can drop the Baby part of the name now...

Survivor
Still here.
Have survived half term, and visit from Mother in Law to look at possible houses, or rather bungalows, in our area, as she is intending to move down here from London. Could take a while...

River High
Just got back from doctors - blood test for INR.
Whilst at docs, sky went dark, and rain came. River high after a couple of wet days.
Yesterday took S to docs with gungy eye, had coffee & cookies in town, and thence on to school on bus. Hung around for a bit waiting for bus back to town. Cost of single fare outrageous.
Listening to Shack - the legendary Head brothers.
Always keep half an ear out for Nottingham bands, and today listened to a few, via the Local Bands section of Radio Nottingham's website : http://www.bbc.co.uk/nottingham/entertainment/music/local_bands/
Sadly, the ones I listened to sounded a bit pubrock to me.
Went out for a walk after lunch, dodging showers, and on way back encountered Man With Basket.

Lumberjacks
Much milder Monday, likewise today. Saw Wayne on way into town, and stopped for a quick chat about Forest losing at home to Swansea...
Also saw workmen who woke us up in middle of the night, chopping trees down, by the railway lines. Still at it.
Ah yes, apparently later in the week, we're supposed to be getting the storm which deposited 2 feet of snow on the east coast of America, but without the snow...

Flu
Acquired flu over the weekend, and stayed in bed Monday morning.
Up and about Wednesday. Into town early, before place gets clogged up by market day shoppers.
After several days of cold grey cloud, we have some sun today. Hurrah.
Later went for another walk, and on way back, on our street, got asked for directions by motorist, who looked about 12, and was about 5 miles away from his destination, a school in a completely different town...

Fresh Produce Awards
BT man at home today, looking after the children - bumped into him on way back from town this morning.
It is bitterly cold, as it has been all week.
Walked to library, and thence to Somerfield - Fresh Produce Retailer of the Year 2005.
Haven't felt so good this week. Bit better today.
