Evening cuppa of tea went down well with a nice biscuit.

It's raining gently.

It is something I keep thinking about but I would need to sell my other 15 bikes first

Surely not all of them?

Surely not all of them?

I think it would be best as then I could have a couple of recumbents to rotate

They were just starting to refurbish the museum the year before I left Imperial, and they already had the IMAX back then, IIRC.

The Natural History museum is also very good, especially the geology section. And yes, the earthquake simulator is well worth a try.

It sure is , I first went with school odd at it sounds now we just got let lose to wonder round on our own. Me and Mrs 73 have been round since but not since the last revamp when they moved the blue whale into the main hall.

The earlier spinning session allowed for an Aldi and Sainsbury's shop without feeling guilty at the lack of exercise.
Aldi was a disappointment, no sign of a special buy on sale from today; kitchen cupboard storage boxes.
Sainsbury's yet again acquainted me with a horribly noisy trolley. Almost ear piercing if moving quickly.
Back home realised I had not returned the refuse wheelie to its normal resting place from being emptied. Only one to be seen and its not mine

A lazy supper of gammon sandwiches, a pot of tea and a selection of fruit.

Have to admit, I like museums. One of my faves is the japanese gallery in the British.

The Museum of London is also wort a visit, though IIRC they've now moved, expanded and are at multiple sites. But BITD it was in the Barbican, and I went to school more or less next door, and so we went there regularly as part of history lessons.

I'm planning on re-visiting the British Motor Museum at Gaydon. I judged at a cat show there a little while back, and didn't have much time to look at any of the exhibits, so I want to go back and take my time. I also want to book some time in their archives to see if I can find out more about my Mini, as they have most of the production records.

Enjoy the gig!

Thank you, I did. The way my ears were ringing having stood near the back, I dread to think how those near the front and the speakers manage.

dressing up?

Was I really only 11 years old when that film came out? Think I'll stick with jeans and a long sleeved t-shirt for gigs as an old git.

The Gower.
Anyone got an optimised route to cover all the Anglican churches on the Gower?
Komoot works, Strava a challenge, simple list wins.

Time to bank the fire for the night and hobble off upstairs to bed via a nice hot bath.

Nunnight one and all xxx

Ergh, what time is this. Up now to take MrsF to Airport.

Today's 73 plate truck has 513297 kilometres on the odometer and has taken me to deepest darkest Birmingham then Droitwich.

Time for my morning exercise

I like a good museum too a favourite of mine is NRM in York particularly the workshops seeing machines, that magic smell of tap oil and all things engineering. It takes me back to being a young kid and my dad coming home and smelling just the same.
The British is full of so much stuff to see we need to go back as last time we never got round it all.
The docklands museum site is still open but The Museum of London is closed as your right it is moving to the site of old Smithfield market it's due to open at the end of the year. I watched a program about it they've found parts of the building that had been lost over the years. Which are now going to be added to the design.
