Half day from work because I had some things to do in town. I treated myself to a spot of lunch: steak sandwich with mushrooms, onions and fries, followed by bannoffee pie with tea, just because I think I'm worth it

Imagine: there was a time in my life when I would have been too afraid to eat out by myself. Look at me, I'm growing up.

Good gosh, you people sure do get up early to get on the bus. I'll take one of those leftover seats right over the back wheel. Little more bumpy there but I'll still get to the same destination.

MidnightBlue!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Good to see you.

*Ring*Ring. My favorite.


In, loved the fawn and the rabbit. I'm glad LB is gone, though. He'd be oiling up his rifle

Zoo day! Laters! (Ruby, enjoy your holiday - I know you will)

I'm on!!

Hey gang,

Weird environmental changes earlier, possibly due to the meteor shower. A large, bright ball that radiates heat was visible for a time earlier. The old folks and sailors said we used to call it the sun.

Still in work, very busy as usual, will catch up properly later!!!

I've heard of the sun Behan - always thought of it as fictional though, bit like the Loch Ness Monster.

50mm (2 inches) of rain in 3 hours here earlier. It has stopped now

I have had a couple of phonecalls/emails from work as I have been trying to persuade some of them to go to the Nurbergring in Germany (a race track that is open to the public) Some people are interested it seems (have to be a credit card job as I am skint lol)

What I have not told them is that in 1982/3 I used to live in Dusseldorf and drove the track quite often so I know all the 100 plus bends - that's got to be worth 45+ seconds a lap

It may happen, have to see when I get back to work on Tuesday.

A Stanley Steamer held the steam powered Land Speed Record for over a hundred years, it was only broken a few years ago

Holy cowz!!!! So many new and under a hundred post folks! Whew...

And welcome back to the newer folks from the last few weekends too! I did not call you out. I tend to call out anyone under a hundred posts to be sure they know we see you!

The thread moves quick sometimes. Don't let that scare you off. Any topic any time regardless of what was posted last. This is here for you to get support and see that a sober life is also a fun life.

Woo hoo!!!!

Ken
