Yes indeed chips were memorable. Also the cop directing traffic in Liege who found out we were Scottish so held up 5 lanes of traffic converging to allow us across on our bikes.

It's the Bintje potatoes aka dune patatten. They make the best chips ever.

Sadly, they don't grow very well in the UK as they need a sandy soil.

We had a morning in Whitby today; did the climb up to Whitby Abbey and harbour walk

It was then getting uncomfortably busy so lunch was in the Seaman's Mission (hint - usually quiet and good value) rather than a busy cafe, then home before the rain.

On the down-side my debit card's gone missing whilst at the bank, and not handed in, so that's had to be cancelled. Did it quickly enough and the deft culprit's on their CCTV so I'll let the bank and police handle it. They 'bumped' into me as I took cash out and the card, then were gone. Cancelled before they could benefit though

Oh, and it's started raining .

loan payment? I was recently convinced of the features & benefits of automatic payments. if not, I can relate, Son's 1994 Camry is due for it's annual inspection this Friday. always a fingers-crossed situation

In Illinois, we have no auto inspections. Busses and trucks every six months, though.

It's a £600 bill for the new air-con motor. Given the car is 11 years old that's OK.

About like power steering, then. I believe that was about the same.

Lunch negotiated. The last sausage roll, a slice of cheese on toast, a nectarine, a large slice of melon and two

Wall's sausage rolls are actually not that nice. Thank goodness I bought them on yellow sticker. Tesco's own brand are MUCH nicer.

The sun has been switched back on. Someone must have put a pound in the meter.

You need to fit a lightening conductor.

The heavens have just opened here. We've got the full works going on outside.

I have two very soggy moggies.

Damn, the sun has used up the pound that someone put in the meter. I've had to put the lamps back on to see.

I wish someone would disable the power shower though.

I've had to put the painting away for the day. Am working on a portrait, so need good light to do the skin tones.

Someone's turned the overhead irrigation system on again.
