It definitely needs a bow tie. Self-tied, on we have established all right-thinking pfm’ers agree. And tied without the aid of a mirror, of which it seems only I am incapable.

That robe is fire! I want it, and I want it now.
Hate to admit this, but my wardrobe is currently missing any Trek themed garments. Must rectify ASAP!
PS - I am reliably told by my Goddaughter’s 13-year old that “fire” is extremely high praise.

Please allow me to say that you sir absolutely rock the whole bow tie thing. I fear that If I attempted same, I would wind up looking like a cheap imitation.
Some may say that imitation is a form of flattery, but there can only ever be one true Marchbanks.

Those shirts might be perfectly named. Or, maybe just maybe, they are actually…next level. Tactical even.
My gut feeling is that may too much shirt for a novice loud dresser such as m’sef.

I hadn't realised Van Goch was a Trekkie.While looking for the robe, I came across this.
Must have!

Ideally the bow tie should have lights and revolve at the touch of a shirt button.

After a visit to a local fishie, I found that I have since spent too much money on jazz records.
in my defence, I did buy a c.d. boxset rather than all of the records that I coveted.
Still vinyl won me over.
New cartridge has just arrived (AT VM95ML) so that means a few sweary hours setting it up, but at least it is a detachable headshell, so only tiny sweats.
Very interested to listen to how it sounds against the Goldring 2100 currently on the DD deck.
We got rain at last. Not much, but a start.
Pleased that The Wife has got her client on a zoom consultation, Wife has had two clients fail to turn up for zoom meetings organised yesterday. It wastes her time, I get it in the ear. The sheets.
Haggis later, neeps and tatties natch.
Cut on my thumb is just about healed, but I keep catching it on everything. Waiting to bash it soo hard that it opens up the wound again. Sods n all that jazz.
Listened to a piece on the radio about grief.
With reference to the well known ‘five stages,’ I maintain that adaptation is the final stage, not acceptance. Note: The 5 stages are not linear and may be revisited, and have no prescriptive order - in my opinion. (based on years working in palliative care, and my own personal experience)

Oh man, it must be awful. But try not to take it so much to heart, I'm sure your granddaughter hates seeing you upset.It's hard to make such decisions amongst the uncontrollable sobbing.

After a day of looking after my 3 year old granddaughter feel my pain as I put on her fav shoes only for her to find that one is just not right. Do I tighten up one or loosen the other ? It's hard to make such decisions amongst the uncontrollable sobbing.
Take her shoes off, they don’t suit you.

I've finally plumped for fibre broadband, and a couple of men came to connect me up to the FTTP point in front of the house.
I was going to wait until Openreach activated the FTTC option, as we really need a copper wire telephone connection; mobile signal is rubbish round here. EE has been quite good, with solid if slow internet and a decently priced phone package. However, the renewal was extortionate. They told me that FTTC was now available, but it's slower than the copper wire !
The fibre is good; all the computers seem faster than before, especially on ethernet. Resetting all the WiFi passwords for the new router was a pain, though. Now to find an option for the phone. I think we may have to go VoIP.

Just rename the new router with the old one's name and password. Bingo, no need to reset any of your devices

What a good idea !
Too late now, though ! It's done !

While standing in line at the fish counter trying to decide if today should be a caviar, lobster or both day, the woman in front of me turned, looked me up and down and said (in a rather accusatory tone) “You look like George Bernard Shaw!” Wondered if it might be time to go down the McCartney route and have an implausible hair-dye job.
