It is getting lighter here . It looks like it might be a nice day. Clear sky at the moment .

Talk of cancelling HS2 beyond Birmingham is nonsense as the coach and horses have already been purchased .

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?

For some things I have had to enter a code which went to our phone .

Apparently there was Jim Clark's special Lotus Cortina MK1 at the Castle Combe circuit . It was part of the Lotus display but I ignored it as I was too busy looking at the 49. The Cortina had a specially built independent rear suspension made by Lotus installed .
I've just seen a picture my wife took of the display board.

Didn't have to do that yesterday when I paid by PayPal.

Think I had to enter a code the other week. No issues yesterday with two eBay purchases and one to an online supplier.

It's stopped raining just in time for me to spend the next 8 hours sitting at a computer.

Still windy but not as bad as yesterday and not currently raining.
No ferry cancellations so far.
FB is more interesting this morning. Somebody wants to join the local group page. Told only allowed if no otter pictures and no sea eagle taking a fish pictures. In fact no touroid type snaps at all.
Somebody else asks about a family history which brings out some interesting tales. The bank van stopped at Dervaig and the female clerk got a cup of tea brought out but the driver went to see a relative and always came back "refreshed"
The Glasgow train from Oban is delayed by trees down on the line and passengers heading to Oban will be abandoned at Dalmally as the railway company cannot find a bus for the final part of the journey.
Once my wife was heading by train to Dumbarton and the journey from Garelochhead was at walking pace with two men walking in front of the train with chainsaws. Probably elfin safety would not allow that now.

Good morning from Suffolk where it looks like being quite a nice dry & warm day. Plenty to do today as part of yesterday's quick getaway from Silverstone was just throwing everything onto the back seats so the brolly, portable chair & waterproofs need to be properly packed away. Also the solar trickle charger needs to be connected and the bike retrieved from the boot as I didn't get round to doing that when I got home. Then there's getting the food & drink in for home and work for the week (especially coffee for work) and a visit to Specsavers as I've not heard from them regarding the new glasses ordered after my eye test over two weeks ago. And any domestics that need doing.

I think the best preparation for what lies ahead is a second cuppa.
