Hi all, how are you? I am ok, but full of sugar due to cake.

[nonperson]

Lindsay, yes it was a link to Lick e Lix! My local Tesco usually has them.

What cake did you have, Tamo?

[tamobhuuta]

Red velvet :)

[not_so_insig]

Sounds good tamobhuuta.

I hope your new clock didn't wake you up too early nonperson. Is it an old clock that has recently been refurbished?

[nonperson]

Ooooooh that is a good cake!

[nonperson]

I think it was built in the 70s with the building and hasn't worked in the 8 years I've been here until it was refurbished. It has taken a bit of getting used to but I quite like it now. It's not too loud with the windows closed.

Hey guys

[not_so_insig]

Ah sounds very similar to my clock. The building it is attached to was built in the 1920s by local miners and the clock was used to get the miners up. It stopped working in 2007 but it was refurbished and has been chiming since May 2019. Fortunately I can't hear it in my flat but can hear it outside. Which is a good thing because it strikes every quarter of an hour from 6 am to 10 pm.

I caught up with Coronation Street (both current and classic) and Four in a Bed.

[Cacoethes]

I haven't watched coronation street in ages.

She likes four in a bed too!
