My brother had a Sunbeam (Imp?).

Definitely could be. A posh version of the Hillman Imp. The Rootes group used many badges on their cars.

got my suv back from the body shop, after 2 weeks, it feels very different than the bmw sedan rental!

Does it feel any different from what it did before? If so, I would have my mechanic take a look at it.

The only shopping I like is for things like a large cup of coffee, and a piece of cake, followed by a sit down.

I can understand that .
Even getting to anywhere so far today has been hard going with road works and the amount of traffic.

Time to have a cuppa

Hillman Imp was the workaday car, Sunbeam Imp sport or stiletto the sporty one the Singer Chamois was the posh one which I had two of my favourite the Singer Chamois Sport vroooom!

Half day trip to see dad in Nottingham. Southbound wasn't too bad aside from the continuing Wentbridge viaduct works on the A1, resolved with a rat run, and the M1 being 50 almost immediately joining it off the M18 all the way to 28, the A38.
His laptop is painfully slow so set defrag running on it, think it could be some hours...
Northbound return was painful. The 50 on the M1 was a predictive target only for large stretches that were crawling or stationary. Decided to stay on the M1 to avoid Wentbridge only to find the 50 continued a fair way north of the M18 turning. The idea to rejoin the A1(M) via the M1 was quashed by another stretch of hopefully 50 but actually crawling or stationary. Turned off onto the A63 and surprisingly, given time was 4.30, not too much problem getting out of Leeds on the A61.
Got home to find the seed feeder on the lawn and a broken anti 🐿️ baffle. Seems that the fixing bolt had come undone in the wind.

or the squirrels have acquired spanners for nut removal.

Warm and sunny here chez Casa Reynard.

Did not sleep well. An evening of chatting about motor racing and flirting with a male friend resulted in brain not switching off. Ah well, hey ho. I guess I can't complain *too* much LOL.

Have spent the morning sorting out my stuff for tomorrow. My judge's bag is packed with all the bits that I will need, my specials have been put together, and I have glued a fresh bunch of feathers into my favourite trigger's broom jingly tickler. The last lot of feathers were definitely not Maine Coon proof...

Anyways, it is just about time to put the kettle on for luncheon.

Suggestions please on what you think this is!

2 pints of milk became £1.05 at the Co-op. Garden wheelie bin was emptied this morning and is now three quarters full largely with the overhang of the neighbours overgrown buddleia and conifer.

In Germany it's permitted to cut overhanging branches and dump them in the owner's garden for them to dispose of.

Don't return them here, you can be charged with theft.

I'm not going to take my neighbours overgrown branches to the UK, don't worry.

That was interesting. I'm watching a film on Talking Pictures TV The Small Back Room. It just showed a scene from Stonehenge. It looked different as some of the stones were still lying down. Apparently it was restored in 1958.
