This mouse will play…

Missus Elly is away sunning herself working in Arizona, or maybe she went to organise the count! I think there is some kind of election going on over across the pond! There is nobody like my darling for organising the world. I think this election was given more air space on this side of the pond than the Late Queen Mother’s death!

Do you want to know what I am up to now…..?

First up I had a comment on the blog. Then there were emails back and forth. Tuesday afternoon there were phonecalls backwards and forward… and now…?

Well to make the short story long, I have packed my drawers, toothbrush and comb and am hi-tailing it to Dublin!

The Girls want to pick my brains a little chat. Now you know me; I am all on for a chat and sharing my little tricks and tips.

So if you are hanging round with nothing better to do why not come and join us!

An envelope addressed like this was stuck in my letterbox yesterday.

I only found it when a young man called to tell me he could save me money. You know the type… a cold caller selling something or other and if you even cough they have forgotten the half learned speech that was supposed to make them a millionaire never mind save me a shilling! I usually give them their five minutes, well in other circumstances he/she might be my child desperate to get a foot on the working ladder. I never purchase items or make major changes, on the word of door to door sales people. I prefer to think things through and do some research.

Now back to the letter.

To the Legal Occupier,

Some time ago, we were advised that no TV receiving equipment was being used to receive TV programmes at this address, and therefore no TV Licence was required.

That is very true; I have had several letters and visits over the last ten years since I disposed of my telly. It is the next little bit that has me worried….

Our standard practice is to now visit your address to confirm that no type of television receiver is being used there to watch or record TV programmes as they’re being shown on TV. This includes the use of a TV set, digital box, DVD or video recorder, computer or mobile phone. Our visit should take no longer than a few minutes.

I have no TV set or digital box. I do have a computer with a DVD player in it and a mobile phone does that make me a criminal?

And bless me father, I once made a mini video (approx 1 min long) on my FinePix A330 that I uploaded to my blog!

Now if I disappear in the near future worry not, I will be staying at Her Majesty’s pleasure, three meals a day, but not at Buck House!

This is in reply to the comments on my last post.

Dario please hurry up and sort the world out.

Betty we need a licence for a TV and another one if we have a dog, but none for a cat, a rabbit or a baby! The world is crazy…

We have no cable TV where I live and would need something like this on the roof.

I know that in Dublin where Elly lives they have a provider of cable that covers the phone, internet and TV connection. Mind you the phone line is dreadful in my opinion. That is unless they jink it on purpose to get me off the line quickly.

Nancy that pilot sounds like a guy I knew in the USAF.
