I had a Commer pop top camper 1600cc. You had to bank it into corners I remember. Terrible convoluted gear change which continually got stiff, and clutch was very heavy. Really needed big boots to drive it. Tin worm eventually got it and MOT man said he would give me an MOT this time but never bring it back.

Oh I never said they were GOOD ones!

This is about the bird guy who set up the live cams (Blue Tits, Great Tits etc.). It's in German but there are subtitles if you turn them on.

Warm, breezy and occasionally sunny here chez Casa Reynard.

I got a few early miles too, as I rode Max the MTB to meet up with a friend. Only a couple of miles each way, admittedly, but we had a nice hour long walk together, along with her two dogs. It's irritating the village has nowhere to park up and lock a bike, most people just leave their bikes leaning against walls and stuff. I ended up locking my bike to a handy lamp post.

Must keep bending the ear of the local council, it's not as if installing a couple of Sheffield stands near the village hall and recreation ground is a truly onerous thing...

Spent the rest of the day listening and watching assorted motor racing, plus keeping an eye on the cycling. I am now watching Wales v Denmark.

Glad someone reads the manual.

As do I...

The desk in my sitting room has a drawer full of manuals, ranging from the car and the mower to cameras and the TV. Keep them all in the same place, and that way I know where to find them.

That long!?

It was a really big square.

Lounging in the sunny lounge to a background track of birdsong - bliss!

Half time in the footy. Time for a and a couple of biskits.

Lunch is a local sub sandwich called a gondola, ham and salami and cheese with lettuce. I also have a radicchio and basil salad. The storms overnight dropped seven inches of rain on Bloomington, and flooded the bike co-op to the ground floor and then some. So I was demonstrating proper squeegee technique, as well as sea dog mopping skills this morning. When I got home, a tornado warning was going off for areas just to my east. I knew it wouldn't strike here because I was not on the front porch with a camera.

I hasten to add that I only got 2 inches of rain here overnight, and my basement is dry.

I was sat at home today and heard jets, I managed to get to the window in time to see the Red Arrows going over. A few hours later I was sitting in the garden and a Spitfire and Hurricane went by. I live around 15 miles from the National Arboretum and I sure that`s where they were heading. Happy Armed Forces day to all

Supper negotiated (a fritatta made with the rest of last night's roasted veggies plus some spinach and cheese that needed using), and now I'm in the second half of today's football bonanza.

 

[Kempstonian]

I hate it when the so-called experts try to predict results. All this week I have been reading headlines like "No problems for England if they get past Germany" and "We have nothing to fear against Germany", etc.

They have been doing the same with Wales too.
