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

Been there, for the last 22 years. Only eldest sister. Calls me if there is a crisis in her life, maybe, but otherwise little/no contact.

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 .

So am I.

However they are pushing the boundaries of reality. A Ford Anglia going off-road, what ever next?

Or, at least, believability

At Cortina d' Ampezzo, several Ford Cortinas were driven down the bobsled run, 1956 Winter Olympics. I learned to drive on the Falcon, American variant.
Not on a bobsled run. Unless you count Peoria, Illinois.
Which can be like a bobsled run.

I tried using an energy drink to give me a boost today and my goodness I wish I hadn't.

How can something taste so sickly and bitter at the same time?

I have a thumping headache

You have my sympathy, not that it'll help much.

I had one yesterday, which seemed rather unfair as I was outside all day.

I found dunking my head in a fountain helpful.

Thanks

It's just that the lingering effects of sinusitis don't combine terribly well with hayfever. Ho hum.

Will now attempt to leave work and complete the commute before the rain, hail and four horsemen of the apocalypse turn up as predicted.

I have started buying cotton buds again, thanks to Johnson & Johnson ditching the plastic for 100% recyclable cardboard

I only use them for lifting out paint when working with watercolours so don't buy them that often. But I am running low, and will look out for those.

Still attached to you at the time, I'm assuming?

No, the fountains around here are firmly fixed to the ground.

Arrived. Apocalypse delayed.

Working on pics of the Tübingen ride.

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.

Guy Martin's been on T.V.
And I need a cup of tea
I'm tired & should go to bed
But a rhyme's stuck in my head
