I had the urge to get out of London so I took off in the car. I've just had fish and chips on the beach at Great Yarmouth.

I like your response to getting out of London, truth to tell it made me feel a touch homesick...."pull yourself together man"

was a fun rarity to take the bike stand out of the basement. the only downside is all the trips in & out for stuff

Chilly and breezy here chez Casa Reynard, with the occasional sunny interval.

If the cats don't want to go out, then I don't intend to, either...

Watched the second Formula E race from Rome. Not as good a race as yesterday. Plus my man got wiped out by a maniac in a Mecedes who'd cooked his brakes and couldn't stop. Hey ho...

Soup and sandwich time.

Err, I didn't know Great Yarmouth was local to London...

Just watch out, the rozzers in this neck of the woods are still stopping cars and asking where you've come from.

Now I'm unpacking my bags. I'm running a little late as I came back on Thursday.

There was a lot of dirty washing, now in the washer.

Also, I have to cook some chicken...

A free range one?

 

[mybike]

Did you try waling in any other direction?

I had been, but I wanted to go home.

 

[mybike]

Feeling quite chuffed. I had bluetooth earphones with one side disconnected & another that wouldn't charge. Took the earpiece+cable out of non charging & put it in the mono one. Now I have one that charges and works in both ears. Shaky hands are no obstacle, although the soldering iron does wave around a bit!

Do they get many cars answering them.
Disney and Pixar have a lot to answer for.

Which reminds, I haven't seen the films in ages. I might dust off the DVDs and do just that!

 

[Reynard]

Uh oh, it's snowing...

Just say "Barnard Castle" and you'll be fine.

That's a harder trick to pull here, as numberplates are issued by the county where the car is registered.

I cracked. I've been homebound for so long now. Naughty me but it's better than going bonkers.

 

[Ming the Merciless]

It’s snowing and every forecast I’ve seen says it’s 7c and sunny. Not only that we had thunder snow earlier.

I've just had a reminder on my phone to remind @Jenkins to get his bins out ready for the morning. There was someone else. Was it @Illaveago ?
