I haven't had that since I was a small boy

One particularly glakit Tory MSP demonstrated his expertise by losing his teeth on stage at the conference in Aberdeen. Very confidence inspiring.

The shower here seems to have two settings - ice cold or getting a steam locomotive ready for action.

Thanks to the generosity of Lidl's weekend special offers, I have topped up my home & work store of coffee and had a lovely ride in the sunshine visiting the 3 local stores.

Back to work on the early shift on Saturday & Sunday, but with any luck I should finish and make it home in time for the F1 qualifying & the 12 hrs of Sebring on Saturday & the F1 race on Sunday. And as long as I don't have to do actual work on Sunday, there's also a BRSCC meeting at Silverstone which can be streamed

Just wasted 10 mins trying to login to cycle chat. User not recognised. Then realised that I’d somehow reached the cycle chat NACA site. 321 back in the forum…

photo darkroom? I miss that so much

Yes. I'm really fortunate to have a professional darkroom close by that I can use. At the moment the owner processes my films and I do my prints and photograms.

There's a beautiful full moon in the sky over west London.

The French call that kind of shower une douche écossaise. Though, strictly, you're not supposed to know whether it'll run hot or cold. You seem to know which it'll be but you can't find the warm in between. Your shower, however, appears to be in a different country.

Marmalade made. Six large jars of "double orange" i.e. half seville, half sweet.

Cooked fish & chips for supper. Thanks to yellow stickers etc, mum and I filled our faces for around 70p a head.

Your weekend (on the racing front) sounds a lot like my weekend. I don't suppose you've the linky for the Silverstone stream?

I'm also going to add some footy. Arsenal are playing Villa tomorrow lunchtime.

I didn't bid on the Arrows A10B model in the end. There were four other people after it, and it went from "a damn good buy" to "might as well buy from a model shop" in fairly short order.

Hey ho, never mind.

I would love to have a dark room but I live in a one bedroom flat.

I wonder how much sand we've inhaled?

Did you weigh yourself the day after?

 

[Reynard]

I have a and a biskit.

Just finished mounting the last seven of the batch of prints from the opening round of the 1991 British F3000 championship. Tonight's images were some superb podium shots from after the race.

Only downside, I can't now shut the file. Might have to move some of the stuff into the next volume. I've also got to re-jig the first and second files for the same reason. Oops.
