No as i'm not that this time. Just when I have it always makes a nice one. As this for Mrs 73 it has to be chocolate , chocolate and more chocolate.

I think she pretty well much has the right idea.

Yep, last piece of my b'day cake keeps calling.

Arse! A seller has withdrawn an ebay lot that I'd planned on bidding on.

Lovely day today. Up early to drive to Blakeney on the North Norfolk coast for ride & walk day..
13 miles ridden around the coast and inland lanes then just under 5 miles walked along the Coastal Path, salt marshes and harbour.

Most enjoyable 👌

Any seals about? Blakeney Point is a good place for Atlantic greys. But I don't know where they go after the pupping season.

Did I miss your birthday? Have a good slice, two slices, three, hell, who's counting? 🍰

Indeed. Happy (belated) Cake Day xxx

A few other decent-looking car-ish lots in the sale too, but nothing of any great interest for me. The one exception would be the job lot of Group C 1:43. But only one or two in there that I'd actually want, and since they're not Derek Warwick-related, not worth my while chancing my arm on the lot.

Was mucho fun poking through the catalogue, though.

I'll be there, which lot number?

There's diecast cars as well, which I thought might interest @Illaveago.

I must be in the alternate reality Yorkshire as it's dry, sunny and warm!

Don't worry, normal service of wind and rain for visitors will resume shortly. It's just a brief ruse to encourage you to leave all your cash then depart quickly.

I enjoyed Oliver. Glad I went. They got a full house which is always good to see.

Minor disaster as the bar staff were unable to open the drawer on the till but they had it fixed at the interval.

I've spent today marking student video-based assessments (good, OK or oh dear), fettling son no. 2's race bikes with him and mending my Dad's laptop - which magically worked when I re-tried what I'd been attempting for several hours on Tuesday.

Oh, and I also bought an outdoor 'egg' chair plus cover for son no. 1's new flat he's decided to take on. It can double up as an outdoor cat seat when one of his cats has settled in with him.

You've seen the weather forecast for Sunday and Monday when I'm back up here and then over to Harrogate, haven't you 🌧️🌬️

 

[DCLane]

@Jenkins - I'm supposed to be commuting to Leeds by bike in that. I won't be if the forecast stays as it is.

534

But there's too much in there that I don't want and / or already have, and then what do I *do* with them? Appreciate the offer, but I'll pass.

 

[Jenkins]

Anyhow, presently relaxed after a fantastic performance by Dry Cleaning accompanied by a few pints of local brew and now having the free pint from the room confusion 🍺🍺🍺

Breakfast may be slightly delayed.

Right, I'm going to toodle pipski, as an early start tomorrow. Not cat-show-o'clock, but early enough.

Nunnight one and all xxx
