Maybe this is how the Tour de France should finish in Paris instead of the fans distant from the racing.  See it on the BBC red button after just a 3.5 hour wait ... and the last 30mins missing ...

Screwball comedy Why, hello Mr Galloway has snuck into reasons to be cheerful at 55, yes we do mess about with the list order ...

We've inserted at 54 to reasons to be cheerful the both wonderful and excruciating singing telegram girl from Brazil.

Everybody's interested in house prices.  Everybody?  Well nearly everybody.

Man in the Hat has been getting out and about, have your link join his link at the page top just buy us a coffee.

It's our seventeenth birthday today, one more year and we'll be able to go in pubs ... legally.

Busy in the supermarket today, the checkouter reckoned it's a combination of Father's Day this Sunday and the Euros.

Out thanks to Man in the Hat for buying us coffee, his fine baritone voice will be deployed Saturday week at the Bar 32 Rendlesham. ♫

♫ We like Radio 3's Private Passions, it's a more musically orientated Desert Island Discs but it confused us yesterday (especially as our watch had become unreliable) by delightfully growing to 90 mins.  A bit surprised by guest Brian Cox's near religious fervour that it's humanity's obligation to explore the stars ...

New supporter up top are the Hertfordshire Cheetahs who added to our coffee wellbeing.  Should you care to join the happy band of our supporters just buy us a coffee.

Congratulations if you've fully No Mow Mayed.  We shall be giving the lawn a haircut tomorrow as it's a four team tournament at the Norwich Devils Women today.

If like us you're No Mow Maying and the lawn is looking overwhelmingly shaggy and unkempt stick with it, just two days to go.

Some of the entries on our page Suffolk Myths have a heavy element of irony so we've weeded them out onto the new page Suffolk Truths.

Although we reckon it's nicest if you fully embrace No Mow May we also reckon only mowing some of your lawn or not mowing for part of May will help.

♫ Certainly worth a revisit and created before AI.

Reason to be cheerful number 59 is The Girl With the Red Beret ... quite charming.

We've added to Suffolk Ladies lead singer of the Hello Darlin's Candace Lacina at last year's Maverick Americana festival.

Painfully we've culled our YouTube reasons to be cheerful list from 70 odd to 50 odd and added number 58 the uber cool Bill Nighy in that there London.

We were toying with another server move but it got too complicated so not tonight Josephine ...

Our supporter links at the page top are back, the problem was our rough and ready coding.  Very grateful to Pearl on tech support who demonstrated the blinding obvious we'd either never worked out or perhaps forgotten:(

In a lifetime of laughter and tears we've noticed people who think they outrank you often resort unnecessarily to an analogy usually involving football or the motor car.

We went away yesterday afternoon but we're back now ... it was nothing personal.

We're back (sort of) the clocks have gone forward and it's World Backup Day.

We've taken a deep breath, thought of England and started moving ourselves to a new server ... expect disruption.

Rubbish Thursday (the day before Good Friday) Antiques+ Roadshow in Fram.

That'll teach us to gob off about Suffolk Coastal PPC Jenny Ridell-Carpenter's barren social medianess, she's been on Twitter since 2011.

The Life in the UK test should evaluate how interested British citizenship applicants are in house prices to be truly meaningful.

♫ Reason to be Cheerful 73 (probably means the list needs a little culling) is David Byrne's wonderful staging of Burning Down The House.  The way you get a barefoot walking drum kit is to have six percussionists, a strange cut ending and his voice has rewardingly dropped a little becoming less squeaky.

We can much recommend Oscar winning Nomadland streaming on Channel 4 ... despite being about blue collar America it doesn't get violent.

 WARNING  It's Mother's Day tomorrow and by then your local garage might have sold out of aging blooms ... very probably carnations.

We've given up trying to untag ourselves from someone else's elderly photos on that there Facepack and stated tagging ourselves to create a best of.

♫The coolerator was crammed with TV dinners and ginger ale♫ ...  a new reason to be cheerful ... (PS: it was a souped up jitney that they bought).

Regrettably des' dinners never visited the Leiston Volunteer and now like the Farnham George and Framlingham White Horse it's long gone.

Like that .. pixel peepers eh? 

It's all gone a bit quiet quiet quieter about that cage fight eh?

Making us feel internationally glamorous Tessa Prior Thompson bought us a coffee from the Victoria Falls.

 WARNING  TODAY is Blue Monday.

Today is Plough Monday.

The presenters on Radio 3 seemed to have changed their minds and gone back to Twelfth Night being today ... we've taken the cards down.

Despite that there Facepack making it increasingly difficult to curate a photo collection we now have a flag football album. 

Marcel the Shell better not come near our vegetables!
