In other news. My wife's PCR test has come back negative! We have been isolating as she has had a terrible cough for most of the week. It must be a really bad cold . It's strange how I don't seem to have caught it . I usually get things which are free !

That's F1 qually done and dusted. Looking forward to the sprint race tomorrow arvo.

I was disappointed to find that channel 4 wasn't showing it.

This is what your deluge looked like from where I was standing by the old Fish Market

It would have been really good if Tower Bridge had just started to open so that it could match the curvature of your frame .

Oh! So I hadn't missed it ?
It is becoming a farce !
Channel 4 and their Red Bull appreciation team of Webber, Coulthard and the other presenter . Why don't they just ask Christian Horner to be a permanent member so he can put his slant on things !

Off for a gentle 5k parkrun this morning as I have a 10k to do tomorrow. It may be a good idea to give my legs a chance to loosen up before tomorrow's run as I haven't had a chance to do a single run in the past week

Had a coco pops and Nutella on toast breakfast in my dressing gown and slippers with my lad, while moaning about how awful the TV programme he was watching was. I'm a 10-year-old old man in a 38 year old's body

Bummer, talk about Sod's Law...

Think peeps are starting to buy for Christmas. Jewellery prices on the 'bay have definitely nudged up since midsummer.

I was surprised at the price of a box of play worn Dinky toys. £300 final bid so with commission that would be near £400. So factor in time spent viewing the lots , time spent on bidding and collecting , then there will be time trying to sell each item , there would need to be quite a mark up !

I find that I'm a messy eater as well!

Perhaps he's got that one lined up for when he retires.

With the shortage of parts I thought I might get a sheet of glass and some grinding paste out today and grind down some old worn out 1/4 inch ball bearings. Not sure what size I need yet . If I have any spare time I might fashion out some chain links out of some sheet steel lying around .
