Mundane News

[Reynard]

Where'd you get the MOTD, and what was wrong with a cuppa and a biscuit or two?

The former is adequately provided by Auntie Beeb. As for the latter, goes without saying that biscuits come as standard with the post-prandial cuppa.

@Reynard, we all know the best sci-fi show on Tv was "Supertrain"

I believe the idea of an International Poker Championship may have been invented on this show. Like all fine sci-fi, it was cancelled after three months. It was always amazing how many times the police or hit-men were involved in the passage of this train.

Morning. The weather is out there! Not sure what it is doing. Neither this nor that. A bit mundane I suppose!

And @Gravity Aided don't panic! I should have mentioned, it was never going into a vehicle. I was trying to make the ultimate penetrating fluid. My most recent stove purchase (1927 Primus No 97) has a leaking non return valve that I am really struggling to get out. Plus Gas has been defeated and after some research discovered a 50/50 mix of acetone and auto transmission fluid when mixed into an immulsion is the last word in penetrating fluids.
I only wanted a tiny amount and not the litre on offer. Power steering fluid was from what I could tell at least almost the same and available in a smaller bottle!
I filled the pump tube with the mix I made and I'm sure some of it has disappeared!

I've one of those somewhere. Used to use it out walking, bit heavy but very reliable.

I can see patches of blue sky.

King William 1V country inn Sedgeford Norfolk.
Near Hunstanton.
Fantastic for a weekend away.
Lots of cycling routes nature reserves and things to see and do.

Off home now though it's only an hour for us.

Morning. The weather is out there! Not sure what it is doing. Neither this nor that. A bit mundane I suppose!

There are days when I can chose the weather.

As I live at the top of a hill, there might be different weather depending on whether (?) I am looking out of the front windows or the rear windows. I can also see the weather that is arriving from a long way off.

Yes I know what L. B. Jefferies saw out of his rear window, but I haven't seen that yet.

Have settled down for a day watching the BTCC meeting from Silverstone and the F1 from Singapore.

The weather is rubbish, so spent a couple of hours tidying the garage. Settling down to watch "Solo" (half way in and it's good) and Skyscraper later.

 

[Reynard]

Touring car races so far have been top notch. The support races have been pretty good too.

The F1 was rather boring for Singapore, but then again, Ferrari didn't really help themselves there. On the flip side, my second favourite driver ever was the driver steward for the GP today.

It is dry here but overcast and very windy.

The Goodwood Revival racing on TV was good.

I haven't seen any of this year's Revival yet... Should be somewhere on the ITV hub to catch up on at some point...

Well, yes, then there's that. Speaking of giant insects,

Yes, that should work almost as well, I've only used acetone and transmission fluid.
