I'm sure one of our neighbours had one when I was a kid, my Dad rode mopeds and scooters before buying an Isetta three wheeler.

I think my car looks like a Jaguar XE.
Well it did the last time I saw it .

I lived and worked in The peoples republic of China some years ago and l became addicted to Chinese tea. Used to go to tea house and was treated to the sight and taste of green tea made for me as l watched. No milk, sugar or any other sacrilegious substance was added to the delicious and addictive liquid !

I go for gunpowder.

It's the way the leaves unfurl that gets me.

A bit of a grey day this morning. One slice of left over chocolate cake had been left out in the office overnight and was slowly drying out. Despite my best intentions, it became elevensies.

You're a hero.

A little bit nippy here chez Casa Reynard, with a breeze and a lot of high cloud.

I have spent the morning writing and watching the curling. There's something weirdly addictive about curling, but then maybe that's the engineer in me. I like snooker for much the same reason.

Will be making a fruit crumble later.

Make sure you have not time travelled. Check the family photos make sure no one fading away. 😁

As long as he doesn't end up in my story - which *does* involve time travel...

trying to remember the moves Shaun White executed. looked like a lot of twists & flips. how do the judges see everything w/o an instant slo-mo reply?

I was thinking more about the guys and girls who got it wrong and ended up face planting at the bottom of the pipe...

Did you know (nerd alert!) that the ADO project name for the Mini was the Austin Newmarket?

The reason - they were trying to reach out to a new market of people who would otherwise bought a bubble car. And they were right. The Mini pretty well much killed off the bubble car in the UK.

My Mini is a Morris, but that's not entirely relevant LOL.

Is it the one where Spock is evil and has a beard?

 

[oldwheels]

I remember them.

I had one and stupidly sold it when I got a company car as it had a number plate 800 DVD or it may have been the other way round DVD800. Probably worth a bob or two nowadays.

Anyways, luncheon calls.
