Seen that one before.

To be fair, I prefer his car / bike stuff. The transit van Nurburgring lap record one was just bonkers.

Slightly.

I've watched the Guy Martin thing, been pretzelling a poem and now it's time for a nice

The choice of seven syllables per line really concentrates one's mind - no space for any wasted words. But now my brain has cried enough for the night.

I watched that programme last night . I thought it was really good . He does put himself through a lot doing these programmes . I wouldn't have gone anywhere near the scaffolding and I definitely would not leave a perfectly good aeroplane .
The piece where they showed a grounded glider being picked up by a Dakota was interesting .

It was sunny here but it has now clouded over and turned grey.

A fleet of 7 helicopters of the military kind just flew overhead flying in the direction of Westminster. It's not their usual flight path. Normally they follow the Thames from Greenwich to avoid overflying densely populated areas. This apparently is not a concern when big noises arrive from over the Atlantic.

Hasn't the UK suffered enough?

Thank you. My eldest brother is not speaking to me for some reason, though I do not know why.

Hopefully, he'll realise that he's being hurtful in time. Everyone processes their grief differently.
Mr K's sister has stopped communicating with us since their mother died. It's hard. We suspect self pity and guilt.

This is my plan preparing for English tea shortages post Brexit: if I keep on like this I won't need tea bags.

Of course the teapot will also be effectively smaller, but you can't have everything...

I believe it was for the same reason used by my ex army colleagues in the workshop.

I may be in a very reflective mood tomorrow.

My Mother's home (house) is now on the market. Tomorrow is the first viewing by a potential buyer. My brother, or my niece, or the estate agent, (or all three) have put a lot of effort into "staging" or preparing the property and it does look fairly good.

We moved there as a family in 1967, but my father worked abroad until about 1974. I left home in 1984. It is the family home. Times change. One of my nieces would like the remaining furniture. I am sure other people have been through this scenario.

Yes, and the next door neighbor's brother looked at the house, and bought it, as is, before we could list it.
