Hope you didn't throw the knife up in the air, so that when it hit the floor it flicked open.

Re: Frank R. Reporting from South England.

Just left the The Flask in Highgate, not bad Cottage pie & Guinness. Think I'm going to burst, if I eat another meal.
Weather has been excellent. not sure I want to leave, Even the other half (True USC), is saying how she misses all this.

I lived in Brighton for a while. First in Kemptown, then just off the Lanes (Middle st) and then I moved to Hove.
When I lived in Middle Street I lived in a basement flat right next door to a big night club which I think was called Sherrys....does that ring any bells?

Bright blue sunny sky today.

OMG again, my sister and my niece and her hubby and 2 babies live in Waltham X. Hubby worked at the film studios in Borehamwood and alot of our friends live there. We used to live in between Shenley village and Radlett. Now I do feel sick with envy.

Hi Jersey, you have no idea what you are missing. Imagine you are in the countryside and yet Central London is around the corner. The Flask Pub/Inn, is yards away from the second biggest house (Buckingham palace is biggest), it sold for $150 million. Hampstead is around the corner. Daffodils & blossoms are on the trees.My brothers live in Borehamwood & Elstree.

We might know each other or they might know my husband. Even more spooky, they could well be our friends.

What are their names?

I'm slower than usual this morning. Are we talking about the noise from the night club? I couldn't hear it, must have had good soundproofing.

Sometimes when I arrived home and there was a long queue for Sherrys I would have to join the queue to get to my own basement steps. No-one would let me through because they thought I was pushing in.
And several times I thought it was raining only to look out of the window and see some bloke p**sing down into the basement yard and it was hitting my window. Lovely...those were the days and chips came in newspaper.
