Hello chaps!
Long time no post in here. Everyone OK?
Yesterday I serviced my water system. Saved over £400.
Today I'm going to Asda (the big one in Taunton) to change some jeans that I bought.
Yes, yes, jeans from Asda. But they're cheap, do a job and when was the last time you could tell the difference between £17 jeans and a pair north of £100? Not that I'd pay over £100 for jeans anyway.
Toodle Pip!
Never mind jeans, how's the new dog settling in?Long time no post in here. Everyone OK?

I slept. I mean actually slept. I didn’t realise I needed it, but I must have. Mrs SM kindly allowed me my slumber and I finally awakened just after 10:30. On average I’m up around 06:30.
Not sure what to do with a comparatively short day now, particularly not one troubled by the threat of scattered thunderstorms. Perraps a wee soujourn to Tintern? I feel frustrated by days where I don’t feel I’ve achieved something, but maybe I need to simply achieve a rest day today.
Don't dismiss a rest day Still Mulling, it will quite often do you a lot of good!!I slept. I mean actually slept. I didn’t realise I needed it, but I must have. Mrs SM kindly allowed me my slumber and I finally awakened just after 10:30. On average I’m up around 06:30.

Very good!Nearly dinner time. Need to find a shop that sells nori to make a salmon salad, but highly unlikely at this time on a Sunday!
Have felt thoroughly discombobulated all day. Hopefully’ll bounce back tomorrow!
Looking forward to the GP highlights in 90 minutes.

2 hours around Scolton Manor with the grandkids, wore them out, then watched F1 at the club with a few pints, having put beef short ribs and jacket spuds in the over for tea...
Ended up watching Leeds lose the playoffs, watched the F1 on the other TV and took my laptop as well, just in case, then a nice tea and grankids are currently int he batch as I watch C4 F1 highlights.
Not a bad day

Just finished watching a 7 minute long video of someone tearing around Trivton on Thames in a Ferrari 250 GTO.
At a track day in the 80s, my brother had his Cooper S and I had my hotted up MG Metro. Other participants were Nick Mason in his 250GTO and Roger St John Hart in 2 VEV.I bet that doesn't happen now.

I'm surprised Constable Dunstable wasn't in hot pursuit!!!
Anyone seen the loony recently?

Despite being as old as it is, a 250 GTO is no slouch and the driver seemed to know where he was going too, maybe it was a Trivialite

Ah, the beautiful Ferrari 250 GTO is one of my all-time favourites.Anyone seen the loony recently?
I did a splendid artistic rendition in red & black biro inside the back cover of my English exercise book. I didn't have a yellow biro. Nor a white one.
I wish I'd kept that masterpiece, it would probably be worth a fortune after I've popped my clogs.
I also remember one time at the 24 Heures du Mans, Nick Mason had flown in to La Sarthe in a private aircraft from a big Pink Floyd gig somewhere or other in order to partake of his allotted 4 hour night-time stint behind the wheel of his team's race car.
What a guy!
