@slowmotion know you've been at his supply?

Got my own stash man.

Today's lesson involves hit water and teabags...you are supposed to put both in the teapot

I had a similar experience a few days ago: apparently water heats much more effeciently if you switch the kettle on.

Put the painting away for today. I've done more than I thought, but as I now need to switch from bold colours and working wet into wet to some fairly delicate shading, it's as good a place to stop as any.

Now have a and a bag of crisps and am listening to Arsenal v Newcastle

Dont tell that to @Phaeton .

I know it's happening hence why getting in all the cars I have always wanted before it happens, but doubt I'll get the Lotus

Down the pub this afternoon, half a chicken with chips and pea's, followed by treacle sponge and custard, all washed down with a pint of cider. I might need a power nap later.

Exception could be made for antique vehicles.

Anyways, time to knock off for lunch - bagels with lox and schmear await...

I bought a packet of salmon this morning. Only it was tuna, mis labeled.

Settling down to watch the E-Prix...

Just watched race 1 has to rate as the best one I've seen, I'm sure partially as it was on a proper track rather than a made up from 90 & 180 degree corners on a street.

I am going to buy salmon I can see, henceforth.

Wouldn't surprise me - basically anything that's VED or MOT exempt.

I think a similar concession will be made to motor racing as outside of the big budget series, you can't expect grass roots hobbyists and club racers to pay £££ for hybrid and EV tech.

Plus there's the spares / engine builders / restorers etc who would all be put out of business otherwise, plus all the R&D that's done in the UK for the global racing industry. Not sure BoJo and his yes men have really thought this through terribly well...

Mexico always throws up a cracker - they changed the circuit from previous years. Nice to see cars back on the old Peraltada as well...

Might be wise. Mind, the other week I bought some green grapes that looked really nice, came home, realised they'd been labelled as red grapes. Someone bloopered somewhere along the line...

I think it's time to feed the girls.

They're both sitting here staring at me with that "I haven't been fed in a month of Sundays" look on their faces...
