So you will soon get like fed up with it as I do when I hear young people talking.
So yesterday I asked about whether Australia used like Celsius or Fahrenheit when calculating their temperatures.
So Pamela replied and told me like they use celsius like what we do. So it looks like (using the word in the right context here to mean as if) America is like out on a limb in still using Fahrenheit although I'm like comfortable using both.
So all this use of so and like is yeah know getting me down. So I'm like going to stop using them so I can like get back to normal writing as I feel I have made whatever point I was trying to make.
So (sorry it seems to have become something of a habit) let's ( now this is using a rather strange word as technically it means let us but there is only one of us writing this blog as far as I know) tell you about the pantomime.
Grandson Elliot refused to have anything to do with it. I suppose it's not very cool for an 11 year old boy to be seen at a panto with his grandparents. He claimed he had football training in the morning and cricket training in the afternoon which actually was true. So ( there it is again) granddaughter Poppy came along with son Matt.
We thoroughly enjoyed the panto which was Jack and the Beanstalk and the script was a reworking of that of 2016 written by panto legend Duncan Pigg who is sadly no longer with us.
The script was crisp, the setting and costumes full of colour and it was a wonderfully entertaining afternoon all round and there was a retiring collection for the Finnbar Force charity which I have mentioned many times before.

So (sorry about that it just kind of slipped in), on Friday I recorded a short piece for a podcast being put together about the 100th edition of Hethersett Herald. I can't believe I've actually produced 99 of these with the 100th coming out in around 10 days' time.
This Wednesday I'm doing an interview with the Wymondham Talking Newspaper about the publication which I have to say I'm immensely proud of and which could be the best voluntary thing I've ever done.
The problem with recordings is I absolutely hate the sound of my own voice. Do others have that problem? You'd think after all my years of doing TV and radio interviews for Norfolk Police I would have got used to it. But no that certainly isn't the case. I'm a crazy mixed up person at times. I mentioned yesterday that I'm happy standing in front of and talking to any number of people and subjecting them to listening to the very voice I dislike listening to myself. I'm sure others share my thoughts on this.
Most people can't tell where I come from, from ( isn't it strange when you use the same word twice next to each other and it still makes sense ?) my accent. I'm not sure whether I ever had what is termed a broad Norfolk accent but I don't really have one now, neither do my sons or grandchildren although at just five weeks old Lyla doesn't have any accent at all. Can you cry in local dialect? Lyla is never going to have a Norfolk accent as she was born and will be living on the South coast.
I have been having a lay in these last few days but that doesn't mean I've been lazy. I have been writing from the bed rather than the study. It's been warmer doing that.
So as you can tell that this blog has like gone all over the place
I just started writing and it led me into various areas of rubbish. I'm seriously thinking of working up to write a serious blog in a day not too far away. Watch this space as they say.
