Well, that's a bummer...

Been eyeing up an Omega watch in an auction on the Bay of E for the past week as a combo Cake Day / Easter pressie, did all the due diligence etc etc etc. Decided on a more than reasonable maximum bid based on past sales and what Chrono24 (known for over-inflated prices) are currently asking for another example of the same watch. As a result, I thought I had a damn good chance of scoring it.

Ended up being a last-minute bun fight that took it way over what Chrono24 are asking. On the flip side, I don't think anyone's going to be price-gouging this particular watch unless they're being particularly deluded.

Who knows, it may even end up being re-listed.

Ah well, hey ho.

That wasn't a bad day out - if you could ignore the bitingly cold wind. Some good racing during the afternoon and no queues at the Dartford tunnels with fairly free flowing traffic on the drive home.
Impressive on track, but probably not useable for the Morrisons deliveries

Oh dear.

Carruthers usually has his equipment in the boot of the car. A few hours with the thumbscrews will probably help develop your appreciation of the Englishmans' brew. He can be a bit over-enthusiastic, though, so you may be needing a straw for a while.

A few hours with thumbscrews ???
That's probably because Caruthers is a tea drinker - with a decent, first mug of the day strength coffee in him the job could be done within a few minutes. He may be a bit jittery when he gets back to yours though.

Oh goody - rain.

 

[Reynard]

Mmmmmm, chocolate!

I haven't had a Boost bar in a while, and I'd forgotten how nice they actually are. I do swear they've shrunk by at least 1/3 since I last had one of these, though...

Remember the advert for them that started "What can fill the Watford Gap?"

Eyeing an Omega watch is a sure sign of good taste and good sense.

Thank you. It was a very nice TV-cased De Ville from the mid-to-late 1960s. I like the aesthetics of the era.

I actually do have an Omega watch - a Geneve tank. But I need to put my glasses on to tell the time

 

[Reynard]

Time for bed, this little one said.

Nunnight one and all xxx

Just booked my flights with BA from HK to Edinburgh.

25th July to 10th August.

It cost around 1300 quid though but it'll be nice to be back in God's country for the first time since 2018.
