GSOH

Probably lacked a sense of humour yesterday after the incident of the electric kettle and the Aga. See across the results of the plastic/rubber bottom of the kettle in contact with an Aga hot plate. Anyway, at least we found a sure fire way of getting rid of the burning rubber smell by making rock cakes.

To make amends it looks like a trip to Scott and Sargent's (or whatever its called now) in East Street to find a replacement.

Friday night at HBC went reasonably well thanks to my partner. We are still some way below the much better players but we came in with a score of 46% which I think was quite good considering the company we were keeping and the short time we have been playing.

Friday is also the day when the County Times goes on sale. Not much of interest but it would be helpful to get a feel for what is happening locally as regards yet another NHS reorganisation. Expect we will be subjected to the usual political unjoinedup thinking, plus PCT managers talking about commitment,concerns and feeling passionate about local issues. Yeah Right. In my experience no news is invariably bad news.

Have also read that the West Sussex County Council is throwing its weight against the closure of local post offices. Is that the same "weight" that was used to reduce the number of new homes that West Sussex is expected to deliver? Why do I not feel assured?
