Beautiful. If ever H.I.D. made a cake the kids would ask who was coming. It was an event and one like this would be a total wonder

A conservative estimate places the number made at 2,000,000 produced per year since they were introduced in 1940.
Some get flattened, some end up being recycled. Others end up in odd places, atop statues for instance.

Another dry but cold day but not been out anywhere as had to wait for phone calls and the sparky who turned up late afternoon.
On a quick check nothing seems amiss but need to wait overnight to see if storage heaters fire up. I should really change tariffs to something more predictable than the ancient THTC which is variable and not under customer control.
My near neighbour appeared earlier and reset most of the problem areas which I found impossible. He will have stronger fingers I suspect but that is only supposition.
Medical phone calls and a change in medication which is a bit of a nuisance as I have a couple of weeks supply already sorted so will now have to reset everything
Just one of the perils of getting old. Another is that this is only one GP’s opinion and another may not agree and change it all again.

Time to feed the cat, and then it will be time to look in the fridge and see if there's anything that I fancy eating.

Back racing at Derby velodrome where I've been moved up a group. This could be a tough night.

There's always next time.
Years ago, a lorry driver I knew flattened a whole line of them deliberately outside Sligo. Early in the morning, they were closing off one side of the road to work on it and they had positioned cones leaving it really tight for an articulated lorry. He pointed this out to the council worker who refused to move them so he drove over them!
