Crackpot Urban Warrior

Track of the day Gone With The Wind - Dave Brubeck Quartet.

Merl's face hurts. A long walk in the cold to a bar is painful so last night we walked the few yards to the Hole in the Ground. There, on the bar, was a notice explaining that it would be closed for three days, next week, for improvements.

The guy in charge explained that they are having to close down while the plumbing in the washrooms is fixed.

Seems that they had a visit from the local health and hygiene people. A local crackpot had tipped them off that the floors were regularly awash with urine and that the bar should be closed down on public health grounds until the problem was fixed. It seems that the health inspectors agreed.

Personally I object to being called a crackpot. Merl voted me Urban Warrior of the week.

Landrover Discovery

The guy next door has one of those big, macho go anywhere Landrover Discoveries. This morning the AA recovery guys were in attendance, fixing it. They were changing a tyre for him. He's obviously not a mechanical type. It is pretty tricky getting the spare off the rear door. Pfftt!
