Got this 1936 Southern Rhodesia half crown in the post.

Last year I emailed Geiger Edelmetalle regarding a copper brick. They would do it for me but they said the tooling alone is way too expensive for a one-off. Apparently it wouldn't be a pour cast so I guess it would involve drop forging a brick.

I contacted a firm a few months ago about making a solid glass one for me as I have the frog mould but will need to make up a frame for the rest. However all this business about Coronavirus got in the way. The next one in metal will be made of brass.

I end up binge drinking on my days off then lay off alcohol on the days I'm at work. I've just finished a week of nights and felt great not having any in my system. I'd like to get out of the bad habit but I always think I've earnt a drink after a long stint at work.

This video was easy to follow in what was being said about controlling people. God help us all if we end up being digitally monitored and controlled in this way. They have the power to block you buying things as well as blocking any travelling and access to places with this technology. Not looking good for us in the future.

Your best bet is to go to a showroom and try one out first. I made the mistake of buying a bed from helibeds and the mattress was c**p, then ordered a different one a year later only to find it was no good as well. A few years of bad sleep followed. You can't tell what a mattress is like from a web page I've recently bought a new bed and tried it out in the showroom first, wish I done this a few years earlier. Ordered a firm mattress to go with it and it took me a few days to get used to it though. The mattress is a Crystal Cool that I chose with the ottoman bed. https://russelldean.co.uk/browse/bedroom/products/salus/crystal_cool_2000/1395-1102/king_size_150cm_mattress There's also Hypnos who have a factory near where I live and they are decent but at a price, more than what I paid so it depends on your budget.

Possibly a Groat. https://www.coins4all.co.uk/collections/united-kingdom-hammered/products/john-1199-1216-short-cross-penny Just searched and found this and it looks similar so could be a short cross penny instead. Good find!

Apparently the surgery he was having was for a penis extension and he is now known as Kim Long Un.

Citing one unnamed North Korean source it said Kim was now receiving treatment at a villa in the Mount Myohyang resort north of the capital Pyongyang. https://www.france24.com/en/20200422-n-korean-media-silent-on-kim-jong-un-s-health-after-surgery-reports

If true then I bet the heart surgeon does a runner towards the border.
