A @googlephotos memory came up this morning of how we were and how we served 5yrs ago today. Business poor,no surprise as shoppers also masked and only every 3rd fitting room open,others taped off FFS馃がWent on too long due to extreme rules/control by inept Scottish Administration
Just noticed if you'd been watching #BBC 馃摵 TV 30yrs ago tonight 1995, you might've been watching repeats of award winning WHATEVER HAPPENED TO THE LIKELY LADS starring JAMES BOLAM and the late RODNEY BEWES.Good comedy.I fitted Rodney few times when he was in #Edinburgh Nice man.
October 23rd is
NATIONAL HORROR MOVIE DAY
CHRISTOPHER LEE as DRACULA is the image that always springs to my mind when I hear horror film mentioned.Possibly as it鈥檚 first fright movie I remember,and I slept with bedroom light on for 3 nights.馃ぃ@hammerfilms #NationalHorrorMovieDay
Lunch a couple of days ago was
