Is that a Challenger or a Leopard tank?

Hope it is a Challenger, I would not want to drive a tank without tea, myself.

Haddock had.

Reminds me I was going to go to the Fish and Chip Truck Friday, as we have a new one about.

Any good, or would it have been the first visit to it?

Is it an FCS or an EHJ? Could be a 216 or a 223.
Most likely. Same thing really, just depends where it was made.

Or does it have its own dichroic reflector?

There are more exotic possibilities.

My anorak in this subject area is distinctly beige and very dusty.

FHS, Perhaps? Or ELH? Pretty common on the Kodak Carousel, the ELH, IIRC.

Have not gone yet, I often make it at home. From frozen, in the air fryer, but sometimes the full messy fried version.

Nowt wrong with the full messy fried version.

Fire banked and I'm tucked up in bed with the laptop and a non-purry hot water bottle. Madam has deserted me this evening. Also noticed that my sash window had slipped open a finger, so I have pulled it back up. Outer casement is shut, but even so, that's made my bedroom instantly two degrees warmer.

Good morning. Lovely sunrise here.

I thought you meant you'd lost the job!

Thankfully no, although they still have 4 1/2 months to make their mind up. Thankfully there aren't many nerds about with my ridiculously specific set of interests, so they'll probably want to keep me employed unless I do something really stupid.

Did they find out, and sort out, what were behind it.
Hope yer feeling somewhat better now.

Gravity was certainly a problem for a couple of days. There seemed to be a lot of it around here.

I'm pretty much back to 'normal' now so I'll be headed for work tomorrow.

Morning.
It is wet out although it's not raining at the moment. There is cloud about and I can see some orange sky above some cloud on the eastern horizon.

There look to be some blue patches in the sky.
I can't see anything else lying down will report back when I get up

 

[biggs682]

Well I have stood up and walked downstairs to make a cuppa which is brewing.
Damp underfoot but the sky is bright.
Chilly but not frosty.

Sun is out, with rain forecast. Morning walk and hopefully back before the monsoon arrives.

Flashing lights went past at about 6 o'clock this morning so I guess it was the gritting lorry.
When I got up later the outside temperature was 0.6C and the sun appeared at 0815 this morning. When I went through to my kitchen the waning moon could be clearly seen at the same time as bright sunshine at the front of the house.

Need to go down soon and try to book a ferry trip in a couple of weeks. The timetable is so convoluted now I need to wait till I get to the office before finding out when I can travel.

Much internet tears as the MV Hebridean Isles leaves Stornoway for the last time as she has been on that run for 39 years but is now headed for decommissioning ie the scrap heap.
