A cycle along the coast to Seasalter after work methinks.

I ended up parking at Seasalter the other day. Parking in Whitstable town was impossible.

Whitstable is a nightmare. I cycled through yesterday on the way to Canterbury. Madness! Can you recommend a pub for dinner in Seasalter?

My new bell on recumbent makes a pleasing sound. That is all.

Argh, just about to shoot a bunch of jobsworths at work. We want one purchase order doing, one and it's a call off for a year. One support department deals with the Purchase order for Faculty A, but won't touch it for the other Faculty B (bear in mind this is for next year and two Faculties will be one). Another support department has said they won't do it as it's to do with students, and they support staff. They have spent longer in the last week discussing why they won't do it. I have today suggested that maybe the Team raising the other orders (which is far more complicated) should also do this one, as it covers next year and it's all the same Faculty.

Was I rude to suggest it's taken more time arguing about why they won't do it, than it does to key the details in. I've said 'come back with a decision'.

Posts like this make me glad I'm retired.

I've never eaten in Seasalter so sorry. There's a pub called the Four Horseshoes along the road in Graveney that looks like it might do food.

Where's the fuse box in my 2012 Honda Jazz?
T'book says flap down the glove box (which one, there's two). Nope, not there cos that'll be for a left hand drive model, obviously!
Flap down a flap under the steering wheel... Nope.
It must be somewhere

Met an old friend in the market this morning she offered me the use of her house in the Pyrenees this summer. It is in a tiny hamlet of about twenty properties , most of which are empty. Altitude 2000 plus, meters above sea level . In the winter it is awe inspiring and in the summer it's the ideal place to get a bit of relief from the heat here in the Lot.

Tis more than enough to be the owner of a new warning klaxon* with a pleasant timbre.

Bless the Leeds triathlon,we get the roads and pavements all done up,a few pictures in the Yorkshire Evening Post of a couple of local brothers,but the rest of the roads can go to help in a handcart.

A long time ago when Manchester was gearing up for their commonwealth games bid the visiting dignitaries got chauffeured around the prospective sites and inner city areas that would benefit from inward and central government assistance and investments.
A self propelled diamond saw was used to cut "preparation for tramway lines" in front of Colgate Palmolives building on Ordsall lane and the men and woman decamped from their caravan of Mercedes Enzas and inspected the site, no tramway ever appeared there, nearby yes but not there.

Right, that's a chunk of the garden tamed.

Time to put the kettle on.

You could sell tickets, popcorn and hot dogs while you wait, you know. This could take some time...

Excellent.. Thank you.. Tell me, though, do I hang like a bat from the rear view mirror, or do a head stand in the foot well to see them properly?
