I'm actually looking forward to my new licence. I must have been one of the last to be issued with one of the old paper monstrosities that won't fit in normal wallet, gets damaged if you carry it in your pocket and comes in a useless plastic sleeve which always splits.

I will join the 21st century and have one of the new credit card types which will fit in my wallet.

I'll be 70 in October, so will have to do something with my car licence, I think.
My LGV C+E licence expires annually so needs a renewal medical each time.

You'll have to renew it, and then renew it every three years afterwards, I did mine online, you also may find you loose some categories.

P&O would like to know how my trip was.

Well, we didn't sink so that's good enough for me

Cool, blustery and showery here chez Casa Reynard.

Did not sleep well for reasons that you fellas don't have to contend with. But I have done some general puttering around, done some writing and picked some cherries.

My mate Simon sent me some scans of photos from a Toleman F1 test in 1981 this morning. I believe there is a *very* young Paul Warwick standing in the background of one of the shots. If I'm right, that would make it my earliest photo of Paul - predating the previous one by more than two years. (September 1983, celebrating his win in that year's British Ministox.)

It is almost time for luncheon.

Dull morning and I had to put my kitchen light on this morning to see what I was doing. Not yet raining tho'.
It seems necessary for anybody coming to live here to have a double barrelled name and even two forenames as well sometimes.
Penelope Deborah Ponsonby Smythe for example.
Most of them also come here and immediately set about trying to change here into wherever they escaped from. Weird.

Hah! One of the characters in my story is called Tom Ponsoby-Hart.

My camera has just arrived ! It looks very clean , some fine scratches to the rear screen but it will do . I'm waiting now for a card so that I can try it out .

Ooooo, what did you get?

Only the car license I think. The LGV one is annual plus as he says a medical which can work out expensive.

@tyred - I struggled to get back into the UK once when my passport and driving licence showed the 'big' me.

I got back in by showing them by British Cycling race licence.

Currently drinking a fizzy drink from a Glenlivet Whisky glass.

A local pub owner trying to give up on booze for health reasons found Lucosade [spelling?] looked very like whisky in a tumbler and when local customers offered him a drink he managed to use this instead of a dram. More profit as well of course.

My LGV medical is about £50 ish from a private club nic. A GP will charge £110 to £130 for the same thing!! I get my costs reimbursed up to £100 by the company though.

♻ Bins have bin emptied.

A chunk of Melton Mowbray pork pie for luncheon, plus a cheese sandwich, a pear, some cherries, a bit of pomegranate and the obligatory two

Hah! One of the characters in my story is called Tom Ponsoby-Hart.

In my Theatre Studies diploma, completed in Montana, of all places, I had to write and stage a play and one of the off scene characters was Lord Tallbot Belchinghem.

It was then I discovered that this sort of humour doesn't register in Montana, especially among "Highbrow" audiences.

In a German Presentation I had a character called Lady Christina Margolotta Von-Zu-Und Auf-Butterbrot. That worked better.
