Rather warm and dry here in the Midwestern U.S.. Holiday Monday, but I get to work, so time-and-a-half for me.It used to be, when our company was part of Copenhagen Night Watch, they sent us over boxed lunches as all the food sources were closed on the few national holidays we have in The States

There is a jazz and blues festival in town this weekend so I might take a wander around a few local hostelries to see what is occurring and if there's any good bands anywhere.

Also, they were nice, and respected the people who worked for them

Went to 'The Lanes' bash in Norwich this afternoon. Very busy, lots of interesting 'artisan stalls' selling lots of interesting things. Plently of very LOUD music. Was pleasantly surprised how many 'lanes' the event has spread to which has to be good.
However was again puzzled by the number of folk who insist on bringing dogs, especially wee ones to such events. Apart from the awkwardness of extending leads, it must be pretty traumatic for the dogs in such crowded places - ?

Good day today. Reproofed four waterproof coats, another coat of yacht varnish on two cathouse roofs, cut the grass, trimmed the edges, cleared the buildup of birdseed from beneath the tree ( mucky sods - ! ) , cleaned two cat water fountains and two self filling cat water bowls, went to 'The Lanes' celebrations and ended up at the pub for tea - !

I think I can honestly say I have never wanted to cut a lawn.

I find it relaxing

Have emerged after a day immersed in motor racing.

That was a mind-bending race, and I've seen a fair few in my time. I've actually witnessed a similar crash at Brands in a FF1600 race. I was in the Paddock Hill stand, so was above the splash zone, but feck, that's scary to see a car vault the barrier...

Now just having a quiet evening working on some writing.

 

[Reynard]

What year is that from ?

1988.

IIRC the episode aired in the autumn.

 

[Reynard]

How did it get past scrutineering ?

It was set up for oval racing.

You *need* to have stagger for that.

A jazz weekend and all I've found is Country bands.

Looks like I've got a bit of catching up to do. Back to the top of page 8136 I go.
