Good morning from an overcast and chilly Suffolk. Coffee has eventually been had as I woke up earlier, looked at the clock and thought that I'd have half an hour just lying in the warm bed listening to the radio before getting up. Next thing I knew it was over an hour and a half later.

Not sure what I'm going to be doing today, but there's a big temptation to go out for lunch before the forecast armageddon (or in reality a bit of wind and rain) of storm Goretti arrives.

Dr Alison Roberts the great anthropology, evolutionary biologist did a great program a while back. in a way only she can do about the last circle and the much wider site. Which is till on iplayer.

I think I might have seen part of it.
What they all seem to miss though was what on earth did they do with what came out of it?
Avebury has a massive ditch around it. They conveniently built a huge bank with the spoil.

It's a Mazda in the 'soul red' colour that makes even their ugliest SUVs look good. As a near 11 year old vehicle it's not worth having it done, but I'm Just annoyed that it's happened and at least the metalwork isn't damaged or scuffed.

Many decades ago the Nissan colour paint was special order only at £360 + vat a half litre.

The same sort of metallic flip colour paint was also used on TVRs.
If I remember correctly the Nissan paint changed from green to purple while the stuff used on TVRs went from purple to green
