We've had builders working on the house next-door-but-one since the first week of lockdown who come 6 days a week with two vans. We live in a tiny cul-de-sac and due to said vans have trouble parking the car on the drive. We are looking forward to the day the builders finish work.

These were only here for a week and that was enough
i feel for you @LeetleGreyCells

Mind, Ash *is* a much classier driver than either Moffat or Proctor, but still...

I know he's not one of your favourites, but he *is* good, & for the most part fair, unlike some others, to be turned around on the 1st (??) lap & then come back to 14th overtaking your team mate & finishing ahead of him.

Really need to check the use by dates more often. Some of this expired in 2016

Simple just put +4 on and they will be fine .

Back to work (in the shed) for a rest after more decorating yesterday. Iodine dressing doing the job. Will leave the bike for a few more days.

Morning .
Sunny and warm here with a gentle breeze.
Not sure if a pain in my back is my kidneys or not. Might have a hot bath to soothe it .

What is the mouse decomposing? A piano concerto or a violin minuet?

Threw an unopened box of Jaffa cakes yesterday.
The best before date was the end of 09-07.

Best thing to do with Jaffa cakes.

How is him donning plus fours going to help with use by dates?

Cool, overcast and breezy here chez Casa Reynard.

Bit of a kitchen morning here today, sorting out tabbouleh, fish and veggies for tonight. Bought a mahoosive plaice on sticker on Friday, and will oven bake it, as I don't have a pan that's big enough!

Am thinking of cutting some grass this afternoon.

Not denying he's right up there. And I know you're not a fan of Jason Plato.

Funny that, I'm not a fan of JP as a driver - have always been in the Matt Neal camp since before JP even thought about touring cars, but as a person, he's a blast, if a bit... erm... batty. Looking forward to next season though, as the BTCC without Plato feels rather... odd.

These days I'm a Dan Cammish girl.

I am, but just occasionally he gets a little too rough for me, although not as much as MN, although MN seems to have calmed down in the last couple of years. But I agree it's not quite the same without JP, bit of an odd decision, presumably not made by him.

Jason's definitely a "give him an inch and he'll take a mile" driver. He's a hard racer, but maybe quite doesn't have the finesse of others. Love him or loathe him, he's definitely one of the series' characters. I believe it was the team's decision to not commit to the series this year, not his, but he is signed up for next year.

I think Matt has found his place as the team anchor, providing experience to back up Cammish's speed. Dan was a good replacement for Flash, and i actually think he's better.

Turkington's still the benchmark though. A sort of modern-day Andy Rouse.
