Sort of a dingy tan colour in the Home Counties.

It got much brighter in the last couple of minutes, but the last couple of hours were extremely ominous, dreary, scary and depressing.

The trees look more autumnal than ever now... orange where I am too.

I can't describe the colour in West London but it's incredibly creepy. The dog is very unhappy.

I dread to think what Mrs Slocombe's pussy is making of it...

We had a 'blood' sun this morning with blue clouds - it was very strange but strangely beautiful. We went for a walk along the sea front after taking the car in for the MOT (failed...boo..) and got blown to a standstill as we rounded the point. Standing on the jetty, clinging to the railings was...invigorating! I love our weather!

Iโm told it is like having cataracts. Or an old master painting that needs old varnish removed.

One thing that struck me about the new pound coin the other day is that I haven't heard anyone complaining about how it's a national disaster in the making. The other day I saw a news report from the introduction of the first pound coin and there was some twonk banging on about how nobody would ever be able to get used to it and blind people would confuse it with a 5p and blah blah blah blah blah. This time around there hardly seems to be any pointless outrage at all.

*PM me if you have any left, and I will send you an address to post them to for safe disposal. Would that address be a certain monkey cage?

Was at The Ivy for my birthday lunch this afternoon and Lenny Henry was in there : both times I looked at him, he looked back with an expression that was not exactly full of joy: having got home and seen his 'performance' on Live At The Apollo I think he should look at himself before casting the first stone...

Would that address be a certain monkey cage? For security reasons I can't say anything beyond it being a safe place with plenty of bars and straw to hide coins under. Ah, but which sort of bars? I have my suspicions but a share of those old ยฃ1 coins will secure my silence...

Just been to see my accountant regarding my 2016/17 tax returns. I used to studiously avoid the term 'my accountant' thinking it pretensions and pompous; but then having to go through the kerfuffle of using circumlocutory terms like 'the guy who does my accounts.'
Since I've now been using the same, excellent chap for 25 years, I'm finally going to come out and proclaim ownership.

I'm not buying this talk of bars. I always felt you would be more of a safari park monkey with a stash of unsuspecting drivers windscreen wipers and car aerials

Well. I think I have sciatica. I'm currently jacked up on a cocktail of paracetamol, ibuprofen and codeine so every cloud and all that.
I think I could carry off a walking cane so I'm considering that too.

Popped into my friend's shop to buy a Diwali card for my neighbour. With much amusement, he told me that almost all the Diwali cards he'd sold this year were to white people.
Funny, isn't it. Leave people alone to create a community... it happens...
Anyhow, a happy and prosperous new year to our Hindu board readers. And Sikhs too!! Many thanks

Just found out Asda are selling giant tubes of Orange Smarties. Life gets no better. But does this mean that there won't be any orange ones available to include in the mixed tubes of Smarties?!

I think I could carry off a walking cane so I'm considering that too. Why do men seem to be able to carry off the cane more so than women? Is it my silver hair? Am I not taking my full dosage of Vicodin so that my Charlie Chaplin cane twirls dont have the same von vivant flair? Is it that I know what a Charlie Chaplin cane twirl is?

Great day til got hot tea poured on my bum. Accident. Iโll live. Probably just my lack of imagination, but I can't think of a single physical position where that could actually happen. That said, heal soon, lynette. I too am now curious as to how one manages that...and I'm pretty good at getting injured in weird and wonderful ways.

Person walking behind you tripped while carrying cup of tea?

It sounds like one of those stories that people are reported to tell in hospitals. "Well, I was walking downstairs naked carrying a cucumber, a jar of Swarfega and a turkey baster when I tripped and ..."
