Heard I Saw The Light by Todd Rundgren for the first time for years this morning on the radio. Great song and took me back to the 70's again. Love that decade.

My sister has a regular gardener and he was there a week ago. She still made him his usual coffees but put his cash in an envelope instead of handing it to him. She said he works on his own and just does his couple of hours and he's off. I'll give it a go and see how it goes. I'm looking forward...

In the new street I'm currently staying in the city centre in the past week there's been workers digging up the road laying cables etc, and yesterday and today a gardener has been working on a couple of front gardens. None wearing masks and many chatting close to each other. Must be essential...

All my customers want me there as I use the old fashioned way which is a squeegee and scrim. Those who have had a cleaner who uses the power hose, quickly got rid of him as they said he left the windows soaked etc, Got his money and left. But you're right a fair few older ones like a bit of a...

My sister who's a nurse said if I'm going cleaning again to take hand sanatiser with me. Never used any just soap and water. Could take a bar with me and wash hands in the bucket ?

Yes. Get a window cleaner.

I know I've been thinking why aren't I working ? I feel okay and should be fine. Reckon I'm going for it end of the week.

I've contacted some of my customers telling them by text I'm having a break from cleaning windows for a bit. All understood and said see you soon etc. But had a call from one elderly lady who I've cleaned her windows for years. She wanted to know where I'd been as I'd not been to hers for about...

We all will need a dentist and a barbers after all this !

As we are a few weeks in with this virus lockdown, just want to know how all on here is coping etc ? I find some days really boring, but others not so bad. I'm having a break from work for a while but can't wait to get out and about again, health willing obviously. Missing the football and the...

I know Keith well as we've both been in Bell Green for years. Off topic a bit but I asked him recently " are you never ill " ? He's one of those people who is always there in his butchers shop, you just know his shop and him will be there. He says no he's not lost a day off work for decades ...

Keith has been there for years. Always open except Sundays and a well known shop and character in Bell Green. But as they're knocking our block down in the summer as well as his butchers shop that'll be the end. He's been told he can move to a new place further down, but he says no he'll call it...

Only shop that has stayed open other than the newsagents and chemists in Bell Green shopping centre is Keith the Butcher. Says his custom has stayed the same throughout the lockdown.. In the apocalypse Keith's butchers will be only shop open !

Done loads of canal walks before and since that incident.Done all sorts of walking, canals, hills, and forests. Can't beat it !

Hands of Stone is that about Duran ?

Looking back that was just one lucky escape. Had numerous " near misses " when I thought that was bloody close. Guess we've all been near to meeting our maker earlier than we should though ?

Definitely. I'd been in the Rocket pub on a boiling hot day and decided that I'd walk back to Bell Green via the canal towpath. All I recall is tumbling in and survival mode must have kicked in as I scrambled up and out. Covered in slimy gunge I wobbled back in one piece but when I sobered up...

I fell in the Coventry canal once. Had a skinful and ended up going in and it quickly sobered me up. Not a nice experience. Had to walk from city centre to Bell Green covered in gunge. But once in Bell Green nobody gave a toss as I blended in nicely !

Finding the telly a bit boring. Enjoying listening to music on the radio and online. Enjoy watching boxing on YouTube especially old fights of Marciano, Louis and Dempsey. And a young Mike Tyson.

That scene with Graeme Souness sticks in my mind. I heard some years ago that Souness was handy off the pitch as he was on it. Had a reputation in Edinburgh and in Liverpool.
