A Mouse In A Christmas Cracker (Before WordPress 8)

Here is my Facebook diary entry for 3rd May 2012:

Today I walked to Raynes Park and back via a fry-up at the Eat Well cafe in Grand Drive. Not up to the Martin Cafe standards, but ok. The long drag up Hillcross Avenue was lightened this time by the Independent Crossword which only lasted halfway. The paper got a bit damp.

A couple of days ago I mentioned the boring Blay-built houses. That was a little unfair because there is nothing wrong with the houses themselves. It is just that there are thousands of them in identical side streets, with no shops or other facilities, filling the area between Morden and Raynes Park (now referred in Estate Agents’ speak as West Wimbledon – provided you live on the right side of the railway). What were once pretty front gardens are gradually giving way to the motor car. Soon there will be nothing but standing room for cars in the fronts of all the houses.

This evening we ate Chicken Jalfrezi (one I made earlier) out of the freezer.

I am using a mouse I got out of a Christmas cracker.
