If my old Geography teacher is reading - yes I can zip it - but no, one can never run out of things to natter about...one simply saves them for another day!   One of the weirdest things I have ever spotted at a car boot sale -    Of course it was just asking for a certain je ne sais quoi -  I always wanted to be Daryl Hannah in Splash, with 80s crimped hair and my very own Tom Hanks.

Our mundane matters are not.                                                                         ...
