A chuckle to start the day.

The cartoonist Matt hits the spot for us GN's with his cartoon in today's Telegraph.

'The triple lock will be scrapped. In future your pension will be linked to the rainfall in July'.

That gave me a laugh to start the day.

The Telegraph but Matt has lots of books on sale featuring his cartoons. I thought Giles was King of the Cartoons but Matt is a worthy successor to that crown.

I did once have a wall calendar with Matt cartoons, don't know whether they are still available.

They pay Matt £800,000 a year. And I guess it's worth it as it's the first place many people look.

I read he was told at school, he would never get anywhere daydreaming & doodling….

Another thing which has tickled me pink .

Looking out for a delivery I donned some comfortable pyjamas and was filling my garden waste bin when a friend walked past .
He laughed at my pyjamas.
To make matters worse -they are Christmas ones with snowflakes on them .
Who should see me,but the new neighbours who smiled and waved ,but they must think that I'm eccentric.

I think many of us, donned in our nightwear, have popped outside quickly. Sods Law that someone will be going past at just that moment.
I'm sure they won't think you eccentric. Rather someone who acts like a lot of us do.
