Has the elephant been ironed as the skin goes further when smooth than crinkled?

Multiply the current area of the elephant by 1.32, which should give you the total unwrinkled surface area

I've just polished my shoes.

New tin of some Chinese polish as the shoe shop no longer has Cherry Blossom.

Are your shoes now listening in to what you're saying?

I've also been doing some research and fact-checking this afternoon.

I found a newly-published and new-to-me article on Paul Warwick last week, and the damn thing is peppered with some pretty ghastly errors. Not just about Paul himself, but also about motor racing at that time in general. I'll admit that some of the errors are obscure enough that only a nerd like me would pick up on them, but most of them can be easily checked by picking up some contemporary magazines or asking Mr Google. But really, it's nothing more than lazy journalism.

Ergo I've been double-checking the errors to make sure I've got all my ducks lined up in a row (including references) before I get onto the author to tell him that his article is, well, garbage.

Oh deary me. I've just torn the article to shreds... I think an interview *did* form the basis of it, but given some of the errors and typos, I suspect someone used something like ChatGPT to actually write it.

Today's 73 plate truck has 250447 kilometres on the odometer and has taken me to Wymondham. Eventually, it'll take me to East Dereham, too.

Another frosty start to the day. I've woken up with a bit of a sinus headache and blocked nose so I decided against a perambulation this morning. I will just have a leisurely breakfast before starting work for my half day.

Morning.
It is grey and dry out. I have just been out to put our bins out and the wind is freezing!

A friend asked me if I wanted an old Carlton yesterday otherwise he would bin it.
Guess what my answer was?

Grey old morning, to match my hair

Walk might clear the head a little

Silly me though it wasn't going to be icy @ 03:00.. Cue squirting & scraping of frozen drizzle while the car engine warmed up to defrost the rest of the windows!
I did think of popping the windscreen cover on but I actually believed the weather forecast of +3 overnight!
