My boys school, and many others, was on lockdown on Friday after a man wielding an axe was seen near a school the other side of town. It was a worrying time for several thousand parents. The axe man was located and arrested.

And then there's the Internet.

Just doing a bit of late night/early morning nostalgia film watching on the telly box. T2 is on. I've seen it numerous times and acknowledge that it's cheesy as hell, but remembering back to the early nineties when this was released it really was such a futuristic movie in both vision and visual effects. Not nearly as dark as the original, but still a fine event in its own right.
I think tomorrow should entail a visit to the flicks to see Genisys.

Tea and croissant for breakfast. It might be cosmopolitan but it's not quite gelling.

I'll save the other croissant and have coffee and croissant at eleven.

Pragmatic.

Mrs C was still snoozing earlier on so I was watching the news with the sound down and subtitles on.

Subtitles, I tell ya:

- Princess Charlotte is forced in line to the throne -

Picked the last of the redcurrants and gooseberries last evening and I've just stewed the gooseberries.

Apparently, I have a special face to indicate the fruit I'm stewing is not sweet enough.

Following a satisfying 9 hour Saturday night slumber, I aroused spirited and with a yearning for a Dacia Duster.

The British Grand Prix in 1991 was memorable for a couple of reasons. We were standing in the Vale when Senna, who was leading and heading for a win, ran out of fuel and sputtered past us to stop. You should have heard the cheer. Mansell won and on his victory lap stopped to pick up Senna. It looked very hairy what they were doing.



Following the signs on the way to Silverstone, we did Motorway, slower A roads, much slower B roads and then - are there C roads? - single track roads, where we stopped. After half an hour with the engine off I unclicked my seat belt and settled down for a wait. Immediately there was a knock on the window. It was a young copper. "You're still on a public road, sir. Seat belt on, please."

The 1st British Grand Prix was at Aintree in '55, 50 years ago. My Dad was just reminicsing that he was there with his Dad, then he remembered "Nope, hold on, Aintree was on a Saturday in those days".

Nice to have little gobbets of history like that still around.

Good afternoon Leafspring. I enjoy this English language forum as a way to improve my English, even including slang and local idiosyncrasies. I have noted you are appearing to be of the same. Please, where are you from?

Many, many years ago, in the early eighties, when I had hair, I spent a month living at a friend's house in the Blue Mountains.

I think I travelled to see the 'Three Sisters'. Though, due to the fact that my friend's garden was, to all intents and purposes, full of dope plants, I was permanently stoned throughout my stay.

Ah youth. Where did it go?????
