Playing a double CD containing the first five albums of Cher between 1965-1968 for the Imperial/Liberty label in the US. I have some real surprises in my music collection.

I sneaked out...Got stottie buns. Crisps to share on a club nights. A rare Euromillions ticket. Mailed a Christmas card. Leaving three which may be sent by Monday. Tomorrow I have a special buy to get at Aldi which I showed earlier. My friend asked me to get Xmas cards for her.

I assume...this stock will have to be binned. And was reported. I am fairly certain which supermarket chain this is.

Thinking of my strange dream. What I do remember. Ian Dury. Leslie Neilsen. Some kind of wild speed boat ride around Durham city but the rivers nothing like they really are. Being presented with a gold pocket watch for being retired. The rest is a bit more complicated.

The BBC alone pays these two presenters over £775,000 a year for what? The odd interview when Nick Robinson has done his research and holds someone to account or for Justin Webb's odd obsession with trans issues? #r4today

Day three of The Third Ashes Cicket Match. I have struggled to remain awake
491/9 AUS lead by 157 runs
(110) Still their first innings. I think that I am good for the remainder of today's coverage. Been having a fair old dream and some is remembered.
