The case of the missing blogs

Where have all the blogs gone? - you might well ask. My last two witty and interesting posts have disappeared into the ether never to be read again. Unfortunately I cannot remember most of the bon mots so you will just have to credit me with being brilliant and await the next instalment. There was a man on the radio the other day talking about variant spelling which as far as I could c waz just an xcus 4 knot being able to spel in the 1st plaice. All that and now they want to allow you use text messaging code in exams.
I have lost the car! Not that I have forgotten where I parked it, but body builder on water has returned and reclaimed it as his own. He paid for it so fair enough I suppose, all I do is pay the tax, insurance, MOT and servicing and fill it up with petrol at regular intervals. I have to admit I did enjoy being boy racer for a while with the fruity exhaust and the subs in the back. Cold Play and Pink Floyd were best even if there is nearly 40 years between them. Somehow Beethoven doesn't have quite the same effect but is much better suited to the slightly more refined performance of my own means of conveyance. That is of course if I am not running around in soon to be Jetski Boy's car which has no radio at all (at least not a working one). So bodybuilder on water has returned to the fold and we expect complaints from the neighbours imminently as his taste in music hasn't improved, nor has the volume at which he likes to play it. Mind you, Jetski Boy has developed a liking for Jimmy Hendrix so who knows what will happen after that.
Sadly Billy Cotton has passed on. I did make a comment about Wakey Wakey! but they told me that was the wrong one, apparently this one is responsible for the Two Ronnies (good), Monty Python (OK) and Generation Game (oh well I suppose we are all allowed one mistake)
Mrs Claus has been most unwell with a strained muscle in her neck nd is only just recovering after pills, ointments and a range of surgical collars, heated and padded.
Did you get the storm last Wednesday? Very impressive as we were swimming back down the M11. Unfortunately the spectacular turned into the disastrous as our local forest community centre was struck by lightning and burnt down. They have only just reopened the site to sensible walkers (ie people with dogs) but it will be a very long time before the centre is rebuilt and open again. I will just have to wait for my coffee and caramel shortcake
I am going to stop now and post this to ensure that it has posted if that makes sense. If it posts successfully you can read all about it, if not then you won't know and I will have wasted yet another 15 minutes. They say everyone has 15 minutes of fame - well this obviously wasn't it
