Primark website crash.

 Another week, another day, and I've had a rough morning, but am feeling a bit better now.

I've been selecting a piece of news for our 'fact to fiction' exercise tonight at Slough Writers. I've selected a news item about 'Primark' whose brand new 'click and collect' service has crashed completely.

I've spoken and apologised to Nazalee for being insensitive, and thankfully, she hasn't 'shut me out'.

We've just been shopping to Sainsbury's in Slough. They had NO eggs, so we had to call at the garage Tesco's on the way home.

It's the Kings 74th birthday today. I wonder when his 'official' birthday takes place. I think it happens to co-incide with 'Trooping of the Colour'.

I keep thinking that I'm younger than I am - until I look in the mirror, and that brings me back down to earth.

Maybe more later.
