If I'd have been on time, I'd have seen that, too! 😂

I reckon it's some sort of challenge. Sail a Thames barge upstream on a Friday afternoon and see how much of London you can bring to a standstill.

Another driech day with light rain so far.
Will go to the library later and take out a couple of books, more to help them stay open rather than any decent books.
Continue scanning old negatives and posting slowly on our local FB page. Good job I have plenty to choose from as they are of local events of times past and cause much reminiscing.

Drag the sprogs out with you!

Thankfully only 1 sprog but she is about a year away from being big enough for our tandem

What with a nudge

Battle for the corner.
It's not as though it'd be the first time two Mercedes have taken each other out.

Because you're not looking for pied wagtails. For some reason, expanses of tarmac seem to be their perfect hunting ground.

I usually combine using the phone, facebook, cyclechat etc, with people watching, it normally helps pass the time.

Not just in motor racing: there's a saying in Germany that a Mercedes is delivered with an Eingebautesvorfahrtrecht. This translates as an "inbuilt right of way". When there are two in the same bit of road, both fundamentally think the other one is in their way...

In other news we now have a unicorn in technicolour: I've sent an email copy to Beautiful Wife to confirm it's the right colour, then I'll add the details...

I'm having a rather large glass of Savignon Blanc.

I hate red wine.

Warm, blustery and mostly sunny here chez Casa Reynard.

My green wheelie bin was finally emptied this morning. The parental unit has already filled it up again.

Anyways, spent the morning re-jigging the fridges in kitchen and utility room in preparation for this evening's trip to Tesco, everything I picked up on Wednesday (cat food, bog roll and cleaning products) has been put away and shopping bags ready to go.

And I've done some work on my Mclaren MP4/1 painting.

But now, t'is time for luncheon. I has a hungry.

But what happens when one is nearly a cars length in front?
