We also found this place... a huge selection of teas to choose from which you can enjoy with your food: I had Lapsang Souchon with my teacake, Moira had Ceylon Orange Peco with her plum bread. You are also given a little pot of Tea of the Day to try... today's was Grantham Tea but it was sort of perfumed, which I don't like

The furthest sign says "Hello... is it tea you're looking for?"

Final packing completed and much to my amazement both cases weigh in within the 23 kilo allowance.

I'm sure everything will turn out just fine ... have a good time Jim.

Some of us have been there ... Remember we love you and that's the only real reason that we have been concerned

Checking this month's spending did I come in on target? I think I better make some strong coffee with lots of sugar, have a nasty feeling no. Apart from that writing down my last holiday dates to take me up to the end of the year. Hope the boss is in a good mood Monday.

Decided yesterday to park my 1960 Electra under a F-4 Phantom. Spent the day in the shade of the wing.

Driver side rear quarter was under the intake in the shade. And, it got additional shade as the sun began settling in the west.

What is kind of interesting is the F4 first flight was 1958. This particular airframe in the picture was manufactured in 1966. The technology between the 1960 Buick and this Phantom is night and day.

Default The Hurrying Man Again

Overtook him in the car yesterday (he was in a hurry but I was faster). His arms dangle, slightly away from his body, and the palms and fingers are open... facing to the rear. Moira told me off when I suggested he would look less odd if he carried a couple of shopping bags
