I noticed the above on the car dashboard display this morning on the drive into town.

For some reason it just caught my interest and made me smile.

Perhaps I am slowly losing my marbles.

Anyway, we collected our parcel from M&S just as the store opened at 9 a.m. then had coffee and sourdough toast for breakfast at the Sea Terminal cafe.

Living on the edge again.

    "All the twos."

    "Bingo".

    I have a thing about numbers. I can't do odd numbers.

      If I picked up some plants for example. It would be 2 or 4 or six never three or five. I suppose we all have odd ways of doing things?

    Palindromic whichever system you use to write it. Just been reading about it on rhymeswithplague blog.

      I feel privileged to have lived to see such a rarity.

    Coffee at the Sea Terminal Cafe would have made my day. Simple pleasure

      It was most enjoyable. Worth getting up early on a Sunday (for me anyway).
      Oh, and the new sofa cushions we collected look good too.

      I had no idea that you played marbles JayCee! I guess that the M&S parcel contained replacement marbles.

      My allie bag has been much admired.

      Is that a euphemism?

      All the kids down our way kept their marbles in an allie bag Mr P. I gather that some marbles were called alleys so that probably accounts for it. There is also a very fashionable ladies handbag these days called the Allie. Too expensive for me though.

      You could pick up a new bag at a charity shop in Douglas. Alternatively, my wife has some spare handbags. Do you also need shoes and a new coat? It must be so hard living on the breadline.

    I have stopped buying sourdough bread because it makes such delicious toast that I just cannot resist eating it at any time of day.

      I would be the same if it didn't cost £3 per loaf to buy!

    Today's date is a palindrome (the same read backwards or forwards). This is the only one this century! The next one is 12/12/2121 in 101 years.

      Yes, I looked it up after reading Tasker's comment. I don't think I'll be around for the next one!
