@Jenkins Give me a wave on the A14 this afternoon/evening.. I'm in Felixstowe now & heading for the cranes on t'other side of the estuary in an hour, then back to Stives, Cambs.

Unfortunately it was dark by the time I hit the A14, so I just flashed my headlights at every oncoming truck just in case one of them was you

It's been a mild and largely overcast day here chez Casa Reynard.

Didn't sleep terribly well (still rather sore after climbing in those trees yesterday) and have spent the day in front of the TV mostly watching the BTCC meeting from Silverstone. I reckon @Jenkins had a right treat served up to him.

Also listened to Arsenal v Spurs and watched a bunch of blokes in tight shorts play with funny shaped balls. Am about to settle down to watch MOTD.

Had fish & chips for supper.

Lovely day at Silverstone thank you (if you ignore the morning rain and the all day wind), some good racing all day and that 2nd BTCC race was one of the better ones. Some how I managed to drive straight out of the car park without any queues despite staying until the end of the last race which is the first time I've been able to do that in all the years of going to the major races at Sillystone.

Using a sat nav for navigation around Milton Keynes - at what point does the "enter the roundabout and take the (whatever) exit" instruction become more than mildy irritating?

Have you given pegging rubbers a thought?

Before I search for them on the internet, are they by any chance the type of items usually found in "specialist catalogues"??

Do you think he got the search wrong, he's not been back since I suggested pegging rubbers!!

Good morning. Tea ready.

At some point this week I've got to catch a train to Basel.

Incidentally, have PayPal changed their security system? I tried to order Marmite supplies, and they said they were sending a code to my phone, but nothing came. Has anyone else had this problem? Are they insisting on a App or something?

Could you not have driven round the block?

I did think about it but the boss might wonder why I was circuiting the yard like a orbiting thingie!

I've not used PP for a while but I think they were wanting to introduce 2 tier verification but I thought it was optional.

The wind and torrential rain continues.
