What was that all about then ?
Not today but yesterday.
Kerry Irving completing his "Long Walk Home" 84 miles of Hadrian's Wall in 44 hours raising near £100K for the Great North Air Ambulance
AND
Newcastle coming back from 1-3 down to beat West Ham 4-3. Despite having 3 players limp off to add to their injury list.

Today I have been made happy by discovering that volcanoes can blow smoke rings.

Drive out in the summer car - roof down when the sun came out.
Then out in the garden - wheelbarrow out of action, so I took to mixing mortar in a bucket for the bed of a paving slab to sit adjacent to the shed base. Trouble is it was so windy that I needed to put the sand and cement in the bucket in the garage and then carry to the end of the back garden, add water from the hose, mix by hand and then push a rhododendron back to dump in the wooden form. And repeat 6 further times….
The purpose of the slab is to hold a water butt - but I’ve had to wait weeks for a free weekend when it hasn’t been raining..!!!
Then out to a nearby pub this evening with Mrs and Miss OMITN for food, a couple of pints and a bloody good laugh.

A carbon copy of my day too (except the other way round!)Then out in the garden…..
Pressure washed the patio and garden furniture ready for the (possible chance of) summer, then an 80 mile run out in the Caterham via the best of Berkshire’s, Oxfordshire’s and Wiltshire’s back roads. Got cheery wave’s from a Ferrari 360, a 992 Turbo, an R35 Skyline and a Morgan and back for a lovely bottle of Malbec with Mrs GP. Perfect!

Clean MOT pass.
No advisories.
Similar, but I was hugely relieved by the reappearance of one single advisory that disappeared last year, which was for a slight engine oil leak.No advisories.
After all, the only reason for a 30 year old Rover V8 to have no oil leak is if there's none in it...
