Bright sunshine and a fresh breeze made for difficult photography taday but here's a shot of a wren. I've taken the brightness down a bit on the laptop.

@ladyfromhamburg Michèle, that is extremely helpful and very kind of you. Thank you very much indeed! We look forward to our visit!

@Derek_Charnwood Derek, I checked different HVV Ticket machines today. It definitely should work for you. If you push the button (1st picture) the next page will show you the Hamburg Card possibilities.

Anyone on here resident in Hamburg, please? I have a question about the "Hamburg card". I need to know whether I can buy the card from the hvv ticket machines. I'm getting conflicting information here.

@TKMaxx_UK lost a customer today at Newark on Trent. Wrapping paper priced on a box on store floor by lift at £1.95 /roll. Label on paper roll also said £1.95. Till scanned rolls at £2.95. Manager consulted via headset said price scanned must be charged. We left without buying.

@ladyfromhamburg I’m reluctant to try buying online as I’ve read of people having issues downloading the ticket to the mobile phone. I’ll try at the hvv machine. If I can’t get the Hamburg card I’ll just buy the all day travel ticket. Thanks.

@Derek_Charnwood Hello Derek, I got Hamburg Cards at one of the Service Centers (e. g. Central Station), but the HVV website clearly states, they are also available from their ticket machines. Or you decide to visit the online shop to buy them there.

Walked around this chap at the nature reserve yesterday. We thought it was ….well let’s say, something else.

Apparently the lorry belonging to @DPD__UK broke down and collection of my parcel, due to be delivered today, didn’t happen. I’m surprised they don’t have a spare lorry to use when one breaks down.

@EE The broadband failed yesterday. It’s failed again today. It seems from local facebook and downdetector reports it’s over a wide area. Needs fixing please.

@Derek_Charnwood Hi Derek. For broadband assistance, text HELP to 66033. 1. We’ll run tests to find out what’s going on. 2. If you need an engineer, we’ll text you to book a slot. 3. If not, we’ll call you within 30 minutes to solve your issue.

@EE The second broadband outage in under twenty four hours in LE12. This is not good. Only recently switched to EE broadband too.

"Please sir, the birds have asked me to enquire when you will be re-filling their feeder." Yeah.... right!

I’m old enough to remember when a prom was a place to walk on the seafront. Nothing more, as in “the prom, prom, prom, where the brass band plays “tiddley om pom pom”.
