Penultimate work day

Mutterings continued.

Lots of junk mail in the letter box and a calico bag of stuff hanging on the front door. The Dept for Planning and Infrastructure wanted me to do a survey on my travel habits and have given me a bag of goodies as incentive - includes a drink bottle and keyring. Anna notepad anna get fit guide an' lots of bus an' ferry time tables an' maps.

Can't recall if I've posted this before - if I have, ignore it. This comes from the "Things you find when looking for other things" file - I rediscovered it on my hard drive at work while looking for a journal article I'd saved. Yonks ago, Eliot McCann and I did a recast of The Lord of the Rings with the Muppets. This is the result:
