Am always amazed watching the Boat-Race how rowers can still outrun motorboats....

I was wondering why those people in rowing boats wouldn't let those queueing up behind them past. It's not that they couldn't see them there .

I'm not sure if I like this new time, I think I preferred the old one .

So, you thought having clocks set to a time which literally no-one else in the world was using would be useful. And the reasoning.........you get to change each clock twice, not once....

OK......

I went out last night,swoon.Went to a joint 60th birthday bash.The building was 30 years ago a restaurant and pub named The Allerton,Leeds 17.It was then the place to be seen,small dance trio dinner dances large cars in car park,white dinner jackets and lovely frocks and a dance floor,plus for us less gentrified a bar.

Well 30 years later,oh boy one part is a fish and chip outlet a fish and chip restaurant what was the ballroom is now a CooP A late night store,the upstairs where the party was held is the function room.It seemed strange looking out of the window in to the darkness and seeing my former home,the one i left when i got divorced.It was a sad feeling that the once great Allerton is now no longer,like everything else just memories,oh and at 68 the music was too LOUD.I could not hold a conversation with the bloke next to me,who is the dad of one of our lads mates.Honestly i could not wait to get home,Moaning old fart that i am.

The words of a song just came into my head .
" It's just like taking candy from a baby " .

Obviously the person that wrote the song never tried !

Today hasn't gone to plan. By the time I'd got home it was 2:30am, and had to get up to check my sons bloods as he had a few 'vodka and cokes'. Happy to report his levels were great (we have a Libre sensor, but also an additional sensor that sits on top and sends the resulsto his phone, then automatically updates a web site. I can log in from anywhere, so just got up and logged in from my phone. Down side is my head is spinning, so called off the MTB ride with mates.

Fell out of bed about 9am and have been doing a few jobs outside.
