This is the A82 through somebody’s windscreen. This is one of the better bits above Tyndrum. Don’t fancy cycling in that.

Clearly unrelated due to distance but my 8 year old Grandson came down with something yesterday as well on his birthday, so for the party we had for him, he wasn't there.

Speaking personally that's my ideal way to experience a party but it's a bit rotten if he was looking forward to it...

Proven to work, also works on seized rusty parts, but worrying really.

Also good for cleaning crud off ceramics: pour it down the bog and it'll apparently make it lovely and shiny.

A friend from the US reckoned drinking the stuff was a long-term investment: it saved embalming costs.

It's raining. That's not the weather I ordered.

You remember that sunny weather you had a while back. The lot you refused to send to where it should have been?

You sir, have a disturbingly long memory for meteorological slights.

PS: The sun came out, so meh...

Aaaaah, a nice

There might also be some custard cream biskits involved. They sort of fell off the shelf and landed in my shopping trolley yesterday. I've no idea how that might have happened...

It is a phemonomonom that also occurs with on-line orders.

Some fresh cream choux buns, a packet of Highlanders bortshread, and a large packet of Thai spiced crackers have been added to my on-line order by some sort of tinternet trickery. Oh and a packet of Lotus Bi Scoffs.

They don't count if you cycled to the shops.

Anyways, nunnight one and all.

And please, Mr Morpheus, no weird dreams tonight. I really could use some actual sleep.

The other night, I dreamed I had gotten a digital SLR camera, but last night I dreamed I found it was a film camera, after all.
I wound up dismayed by a non-existent imaginary camera,that turned out to be less than expected, in my dreams.

Well, it was here this morning, so grass cutting has to be put back... *again*

On the upsides, I made some Filet Americain for lunch

I did have a so-so night's sleep, but I did have a weird dream involving a sketch pad, a bottle of fizzy orange pop and a certain racing driver. I can understand the sketch pad and the racing driver, but I don't drink fizzy pop...

This is to say we've been sent a Japanese 45th anniversary presentation pack of Kit-Kats by the inlaws.

It looks like this:

So there.

I had the first of my Runner Beans with the Dinner yesterday (Pork Shoulder roasted on a bed of Carrots, Celery, a quartered Apple and quartered Onion with the Veg then covered with Cider)

You or the veg?

Well, lunch was very delectable...

Fresh bread with filet americain (both homemade) followed by a flat peach and half a papaya. And two of course.

I seem to have caught some kind of bug yesterday, or perhaps ate something bad? I've felt nauseous since yesterday, and ate very little dinner last night (had to force it down). Since then, I've eaten nothing (it's after noon, here), and now I'm feeling nauseous partly due to not eating. It's a vicious cycle.

Hope you feel more chipper soon - sounds like the bug that's been doing the rounds.

Just be thankful you didn't have the explosive bum burps to accompany it.

P.S. Peppermint tea is very good at settling a dicky tum.

Little too much like Stockcars, great to see Plato back at the pointy end, but unless he can win fairly (robust is okay, cheating is not) he needs to hang up his gloves.

Hrmph...

I watched the '96 BTCC review previous week (as you do), and compared to the super touring era, Plato v Sutton was pretty tame to be honest. Having said that, Ash wasn't entirely blameless either.

P.S. Plato has done a season of long oval stock cars

P.P.S. I'm not a Jason Plato fan.

Ah, I'm not the only one it happens to, then. Thank goodness for that. I was starting to think I was a bit

Although the Bi Scoffs - I make my own. I have a cracking recipe for those. They're really easy to make. (As is the spice mix for them).
