The bodywork was built by Eastern Coach Works Lowestoft in 1972.
A snapshot or two of my
everydaycomings and goings.
Not for your benefit,
but for me to peruse
at my leisure.
Lowestoft Heritage Open Days 2026....
.... A grand journey around the sights of Lowestoft on the top deck of Bristol VR double decker bus OCK 985K.
Red Arrows....
.... At Clacton Airshow.
Then a lovely bus ride up to Harwich for afternoon fish & chips with a Leffe at The Bottle Kiln.
Welsh Stubbie....
.... "Cymru Am Byth" - Wales forever.
"Iechyd Da" - Good health or 'cheers' when toasting.
It's Quicker And Easier....
.... Than by post, they say.
Well it isn't. I use my desktop PC to go to the website. I enter my driving licence number, my passport number etc. etc.
It now tells me that I now need a Gov.uk One Login account.
I open a Gov.uk One Login account, using my address of the last 36 years, my 54 year old driving licence number & my passport details that was renewed last year. With all of this information it can't verify who I am & I have to download the app to my phone.
The app refuses to go beyond the log in page!
I gave up after 3 hours.
It certainly isn't quicker & easier.
Ordinary Moments....
.... Ordinary Moments.
You don't really appreciate the ordinary moments until the extra-ordinary things happen.
When death or illness or robot assassins come to your house.
Well, that's when you long for an ordinary moment.
A perfect day, rain on your roses.
A delicious sandwich, one of the really good ones.
Lovely, quiet, ordinary moments.
Take a big deep breath and enjoy the ordinary moments, people.
They're more wonderful than you think.
Sayings of Aunt Trudie...
Quoted from page 220 of Which Way To Anywhere by Cressida Cowell.
LST....
.... Look Smell Taste - Before you waste.
Excellent advice on the side of my Shredded Wheat box.
Biggest Ever Breakfast...
.... From the Brunch Bar in North Walsham.
£8.50 with two mugs of tea.
Nice friendly people, great price, big portions.
Lovely.
Gashed....
.... I got gashed by the greenhouse window handle!
It didn't stop bleeding for about 4 hours.
Bury Bound....
.... By bus to Bury St. Edmunds & home via the Waveney Valley. 138.8 miles on 7 buses.
Dutch Irises....
.... Ten bulbs from Poundland for £1.
From planting to flower in 12 weeks, beautiful.
It's 08:20 pm....
.... And I'm still sitting in my garden, shorts & t-shirt.
Headphones on listening to Cat Stevens.
A bargain Fish & Chips....
.... With a pint of Leffe for £6.57.
If the fish & chips is on 'Specials' after 2pm it also goes onto the afternoon deal.
Bury St Edmunds Bound....
.... Gorleston to Bury St Edmunds road trip.
08:31 - First Eastern Counties bus X1 to Norwich.
10:00 - Transport Made Simple bus 82 to Diss.
11:30 - Transport Made Simple bus 70 to Bury St Edmunds.
I had 1 hour in Bury St Edmunds, plenty of time for a Mc Donalds Happy Meal.
