I cycled in the Alps. Loved it.

Laid a patio for the first time. Would have been nice if the idiots who laid it first hadn't f***ed it up so horrifically that I had to do it myself.
Next years task is to rebuild a retaining wall.
Yes - the same idiots who can't lay a patio can't build a retaining wall either.

Snap! And I am now doing the 2nd, a more formal effort elsewhere. I aim not to be the idiot talked about in later years because someone has to redo it. Mr McCormack is my mentor.

This is patio no. 1

The wall will look better when it is finished, it's stone re-cycled from the window openings so quite a jigsaw puzzle.

Went on a tour of a car factory last week (Toyota, near Derby). One of my most interesting trips anywhere. Even Mrs Donger thoroughly enjoyed it.

I went on the Thames Cable Car on Friday. I was taking pictures, so went over the first time (Grenwich too..... Ummm..... The Excel), then I went back the other way to the south side, and then finally went back to the North side again. 3 times I went on it.

The woman working at the south station thought it was sweet!!
