Bungee jumping and embroidery - but not at the same time!
Coin collecting, darts (Iâm useless but enjoy the evening), gym training, reading and trying to get my 6 grandkids interested in what Iâm interested in as my 3 kids arenât!
Good thread idea Jim.

I've never heard of that game. Is it like marrows at the local show?
With apologies to Billy Cotton.
Oh what a beauty,
I've never seen one as big as that before,
Oh what a beauty,
It must be two foot long or even more,
It's such a lovely colour,
And nice and round and fat,
I never knew that grassroots,
Could grow as big as that,
Oh what a beauty,
I've never seen one as big as that before.

However posting photos is not a hobby Iâve got into, on this occasion I think Iâve gotten away with it but that could have ended badly!

Good Evening Jim
Interesting to hear you âmystery shopâ
I also did this for some time , but quite a few years ago. Itâs an ideal job for âgrumpy gitsâ!
Was very varied and interesting, from a phone call up to full family theme park days out , wristbands, food and drink, the kids loved that one!
Afraid I must take some credit for closing down the towns Gala bingo hall! It was terrible.
I might return to it when I retire in a few years.

Hi Norm
Companies employ other companies to check how how they are doing. Itâs like an undercover operation where an unknown person acts as a normal consumer to assess the quality of the operation. Feedback forms are then delivered back to the original company to enable them to improve where necessary. An example in a supermarket âmystery shopâ could be, did the assistant make eye contact, or ask if you have a loyalty card. Were certain goods available, how long did you have to wait etc
Hope that helps!

Good Afternoon
Further to my pictures earlier of our miniature Christmas village, I have a video, with seasonal music, to show off the village. I know itâs after Christmas now but I wasnât sure to put it on hereâŚ
Still if anyone is interested!
Itâs time now to dismantle the village and pack away in the attic until next year!
