The 50 Plus Cafe, Pub, All-Nite Greasy Spoon and Dive Bar

I think it’s a direct rip off of rt 66, but a classic take on it.

Front of mine from work lives in Thundersleigh. He’d never heard the song before. He said “how in the fuck does a bloke in new jeeeersey know about this?”

He’d never heard the song before and was quite amused.
Thundersleigh! Another great British place name.
I grew up near a village in Sussex called Upper Dicker!
Yes, I can imagine how shocked your friend would have been at your knowledge of Essex geography (thanks to Billy Bragg).
I have lived in various parts of the UK, including Brentwood in Essex.
My late brother married a woman from Brentwood in California!
 
Finally starting to feel a little better, been a rough couple of days.
Win Column 🎉
Glad you're feeling better - looks like the freezing and snow helps 🌨️ 🥶
Football and beer still go hand in hand, but we see much less fighting among the fans these days, although there are aways small pockets of morons at most games!
Definite win there... well, except for the Moron Troupe... we all know "There ain't no fixin' stupid"
the "prawn sandwich" brigade
IDK what this is but sounds like another of @Wonderer67 's bands :ROFLMAO:
Most of the new stadiums have an identical, identikit feel.
ick - I grew up in Frank Lloyd Wright track housing where almost every house was exactly the same.

The only nice thing about that? My BFF's house was identical to mine - so that first sleepover was really easy. LOL
And even down in the valley with the boys there is a beauty
The boys alone are gorgeous.. then add in Mother Nature? Stunning 🥰

Had a little extra paint so i refreshed the bathroom door... gonna get a nicer doorknob.... so the cheap grade plastic door doesnt look so cheap
Looks great, @Missk_2022 !!
I know you've been wanting to get that done for a while now.
Oooh, and look at that little dresser. I really love how it looks like it was original to that space. Like a Built-In dresser. 🥰🥰

Errand time - gotta fly
Toodles, spoonies

Home from weaseling. It was . . . weaselrific. All day long.


Fuck it. Stopped for ice cream.
Ditto - except I stopped for sashimi* sushi and seaweed salad. Added a Granny Smith and 🤤 😋

ETA: Clarification - what I have on the plate is sashimi. Sushi would be a roll with rice and seaweed holding the sashimi and/or veg inside.

Good morning denizens of the diner. I slept until 530. I sort of caught up on sleep. I hope Wonderer gets some sleep as there were more than a few of up at 2 am.

Get well Lili and others fighting colds etc. I was told by a nurse that doctors are the worst patients. But what about nurses? Are they also like the doctors? 😂
Most of us are also pretty bad patients! 😂😂 I only go to the dr when I think I will literally die or need prescriptions. When I do go in, I have a list of what I want. 🤭🤭
 
It's a Christmas village! Huge! And pretty elaborate. Here are some pictures.

That sooo gives me flashbacks to Lynne Marie's Xmas village. You know, the decorative ex I mentioned to you. Yours may be a tad larger and more elaborate, but I haven't seen hers in going on 30 years, so she might have Xmas Suburbs by now.


Up. Coffee. Slept kinda half-assed. I may require a loaner cat for sleepage.


We have rearranged the HVAC guy's schedule in case the feds or fear of the feds keep some folks at home. He understood that we cannot get partway into this and have someone leave and we're either there until late or we can't get finished and it's cold out. That'll never do.
