Hubby came back with a small bags of shopping.
I sent several emails to various Council department to see if we need permission to insulate and board our loft.
(The Council won't do it.
They won't replace the 15 year old boiler!)
I will wait Monday to see what they have to say our request.
Once the shopping was put away.
I had a look into today's newspaper.
Bernard Manning was an English comedian and nightclub owner.
Manning gained a high profile on British television during the 1970s, appearing on shows such as The Comedians and The Wheeltappers and Shunters Social Club. His act became controversial as attitudes changed, with the result that Manning was rarely seen on television in the last few decades of his career. However, he continued to perform at live venues until his death
He would be 91 years old . 
He died aged 76 in 2007.
Sleep Tea time.
Now to enjoy the Friday Feeling 🎈in bed.
