The start of every new month usually means almost falling over a pile of the local freebie magazine in the entrance hall where they’ve been dropped off.
I’m pretty sure I’m the only who reads it, well, it would be look rude not to, but after a couple of days, if they’re still there, it usually falls upon Nigel to go and put them in the bin, lest someone complains that the entrance is looking untidy.
I have to admit that this months edition wasn’t been the most riveting of reads. I suppose November is one of those in-between sort of months when they’re keeping all their best articles and advertisements for the December edition.
However, I was naturally a little curious to learn a little more about “Alan’s Magic Pumpkins”, which turned out, in the end, to be a cookery feature extolling the wonderous nutrimental benefits and qualities of the humble pumpkin, including an interesting a recipe for Norfolk Million Pie, should you be of that culinary persuasion.
However, there was one paragraph that definitely needs keeping well away from Nigel!
Still, amongst all of it I did learn that Evesham’s Christmas light switch on will be on a Friday this year and that ………….
…….. November could well be an most opportune time, ahead of the festive season, to get your blocked ears microly sucked out, perhaps even in the appropriately named town of Blockley!
It just doesn’t get any better than that! I don’t think I will be able to hold myself back from the December issue when it hits the doormat now. What am I like?

Not long before the Christmas lights are lit, and everything starts for Christmas!
When I lived in Kazakhstan, I needed my ears de-waxing. The doctor took a pair of long, thin tweezers, stuck my head on the table top, and went rummaging. All rather disconcerting. A slip of the hand could have had very serious consequences.
I prefer a specialised pump, which the nurse used, when I lived in Shropshire, round about 1998.
In Mexico, they use an a big glass syringe, that they stick in your lughole.
Have you ever wondered about contributing to,The Vale magazine? Your blogs are so entertaining that I bet they’d snap your hand off if you were to offer a monthly musing….”Nigel Notices…..Snippets of life from an Evesham Monkey” would have every issue eagerly anticipated x
Well I have to say a couple of interesting comments left today...
Mr D - ouch to those ear dewaxing procedures - not something I have ever needed but I know my parents used to have them done. Gives me the heebie jeebies - not something to be undertaken lightly or with an unsteady hand! 'MICROLY SUCKED OUT!!!!!' oh my giddy aunt....
Seaside your comment about The Boyz contributing to The Vale magazine is a rather splendiferous idea with an excellent title - Mum take note!
