Yes it has taken her about three years to lose about 2kg.

Ah, the TVC diet

Ah, the TVC diet

I wish mine had been that successful.

Is there a Summer version of the Nora Batty virus going around? My daughter and brother seem to have been struck down by one.

That's no good, someone has dumped an old banger outside.

@Hill Wimp - Are you anywhere near the route of the Giro?

The road sign suggests the white car is in one of the correct lanes for going straight on though it's not the best lane to be in. The black car's lane is marked with a straight on arrow but there are 2 lanes at the mouth of the junction. Highway planners' fault.

I am fairly sure there is no defence of "the road sign made me do it".
Here is a very simple test: The black vehicle didn't cross any lane dividers, or other road markings. The White car indicated, didn't check, changed lanes and drove into the other vehicle. Why the white driver did that is likely the Highway planners' fault for putting them in that corner.
Their options were; to do what they did if it was safe (potentially slowing), to go the wrong way and change route, or to crash into a car in the other lane.
I am not sure why I felt the need to share my thoughts on this.

I just had to get my credit card cancelled.

I was viewing my netbanking details, about to do my regular password change, plus pay a gas bill, and found that a $500 transaction was pending. It was dated yesterday at 2:40am, when I was sound asleep in bed, and for a company I've never heard of. Unfortunately, as part of the transaction dispute process, the bank cancels my existing card. The new one will be sent to me about 6 working days from now. Fortunately, I'm still 5 weeks away from flying to the European Alps for my cycling trip: it would have been a major nuisance if it had occurred several weeks later.

I don't know if it was just incompetence (someone entering the wrong credit card number when performing a transaction) or malice, but either way it's a bloody nuisance.

No, a big multi national company.

Is this twenty questions? What colour are they?

It is bright and sunny here with a few artistically scattered feathery clouds about.

Last night we were in the living room, Gwen was fussing on my lap. Where is Schrodie thought, I haven't seen him all evening? But then again he seems to have found a few friends or things to do so it is not too unusual. My wife said that he was in the greenhouse earlier but couldn't see him when she shut it. I went up the garden with a torch as it was dark and sure enough safely shut inside with the plants was a Schrodie.

I'm spending the weekend in the heart of Sherwood Forest, very nice it is too.

Just sayin

My wife just said that she is just popping into town to buy a crap porn maker!

Or was it pop corn?

Unfortunately the place that we are staying is not on the Giro to route however I am told that a few years back the women's Giro passed by the driveway.

All I can hear is birdsong, all I can smell is honeysuckle and all I can see are vineyards.
