The Daily Teaser …

Phew … !

Don’t you just love it when the weather turns muggy?

July’s been one of those months …

At any rate, just in case you’ve been following me for a while, you’ll know that my streets had its problems with the parking …

We’ve now had permits issued, which is good; but we had — in theory — to go and pick them up. I’m just glad Adrian slipped me Sara’s number. It meant that, as I was working, I was able to make other arrangements with her. Hopefully, she’ll be able to get back to me, before the scheme starts.

After all, Allison will definitely whinge, if she can’t park her scooter!

At any rate, let’s move on, shall we?

Shall we?

Yes, let’s!
