Still alive in Whamageddon. The best I've ever managed was 1.27 pm  on Christmas Eve.

Useful tip, if you can't see the cursor on your computer screen: move it to one corner by moving the mouse or stroking the touch-sensitive pad in that direction, and you should be able to see it when it gets there.
Curious fact I've just discovered about pedestrian-controlled crossings: as well as a beep when the green man shows, for the benefit of the blind, there's a cone underneath the control box with a rough, tactile surface that spins round when it shows, for the deaf-blind. I've just got back from the shops, and had a feel, and it was indeed there, and span on cue.

Just around the corner from me, hadn't seen anything about it happening. Popping round to have a look.

That'd scan better if the second half was re-arranged a bit:
"My love for you is overdue"
I said, and she said "Fine".

Society has fallen

Only in Devon though.  What is disturbing is that wheelchairs there are now being fitted with jam and cream scone cannons, some scones are made with jam on top, and worse still, some with cream on top.

You see if that happens in Doctor Who, I'll be all in.

"Give it five minutes in the meecrowahvay". She could always call it a "popty-ping", which is the Welsh nickname for it (the official Welsh word is "microdon").  https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/entertainment-arts-67819215
