German engineering my Asp!
We had our boiler and gas fire looked at. The gas fire stopped working a while ago and it looks like a control unit has failed! The cost of replacement seems as though it is uneconomic!
Our gas boiler has developed a problem . Both so called German engineered!

I just noticed a comment by Alain Prost about his dislike for the idea of reverse grid races . I was thinking that Monaco would be interesting . Also wouldn't it encourage drivers to drive slowly so as to get the best grid position ?

Just reverse half of the grid & send them anti-clockwise while the rest go clockwise as normal. What could go wrong?

Someone has posted about our branch of W. H . Smith's for being told that they were not allowed to read magazines or papers before purchase! I don't know if this is a nation wide thing or if the manager is set on world domination !
I would be Bl**Dy Livid if I was told not to!
So going by that ruling you shouldn't inspect fruit or meat, test drive a car, try on clothes or shoes, look around a house before purchase !
I look through magazines to see if the magazine is worth buying .

WH Smiths have had the policy of only touching what you intend to buy since April last year.

Salmon baked in watercress sauce, mashed potato, steamed green beans and roasted baby plum tomatoes. And a lovely ripe, juicy mango for afters.

All the ingredients except for the milk for the sauce were bought on sticker.

Busy day today. Drop daughter at school Breakfast Club, cycle commute to work (20km 394m elev), work itself, cycle commute home (20km 264m elev), set up kids' virtual martial arts lesson (outdoors as it's so nice today), pump up the flat tyre on my wife's car to see if it loses air, dinner, check tyre and swap for spare (while listening to my daughter read for homework), prep packed lunches for tomorrow for four, fill out paperwork for daughter's music class and music event on Saturday. Now I will finish typing this and go to bed.

And probably repeat a similar day tomorrow .

I had went out today and accidentally left my phone at home. Surprisingly liberating but I missed the camera as I saw a few things I'd have liked to photograph.

Back midweek?

 

[tyred]

Back midweek?

Yes

 

[classic33]

Yes

That's unfair, unethical and downright nasty.

Whereas I have to do two more days and then I've got 8 days off. In those days off there's a weekend at Silverstone for the BTCC, a trip to Cambridge to see Pip Blom at the Portland Arms (my first live music since March 2020) and then Sound City Ipswich where I hope to get to see a further three bands.

That's called rubbing it in.
