......I've really lost it this time.
I realised that I'd had vehicles from the 1960's onwards, but never one from the '80's, so that's sorted.
I last drove a Renault 4 when I drove the Open University one back from Lisbon in 1986,
with a large geologist and a pile of rocks, and I couldn't believe how simple and capable this little car was.....
I was a fan of Minis at the time, but the 4 was an eye-opener.

Will somebody please remind me never to buy a coin from Atlas?
I'm so worried that I might do so accidentally....
I hate all this crap - gouge gouge gouge.....

I had a studio gear dealer on the phone from Ontario yesterday, and he is sick to the back teeth of this - he refers to such stuff as 'gouging'
and it's becoming endemic in many fields of interest and commerce worldwide.

This is madness....

So the above post may be infectious, handle with care. This isn’t nice, despite the vaccine.Jerry
Eurgh....came back from Brussels in early november.
Tested negative...yeah right.... holy crap....I told Erica that I was going to sleep again ( 4 days by then without going downstairs)
and if I felt even _slightly_ worse when I woke up she was going to be calling someone....
REALLY not funny...never had chest problems like that before.
I'm slim and fit for my age, and it hit me real hard.
Lost a mate last month- big time anti vaxer - overweight idiot and sure enough, yet another covid hospital bed and death....
Keep going Jerry!!

Hmmm..yeah---I'm gambling-- just put out all my big tropical stuff, and took the straw cage off my Musa Basjoo clump.
Last year was that very very dry April, which stuffed the woodland seed sowing I did...£70 worth of nothing....!

Last year, despite all the climate change and pollution woes, I saw more dragonflies, hawkers, and damselflies than I can remember.
Was this down to last year's weather? Or is this year going to be similar?

it's a green corrugated steel village hall in Worcestershire we've bought to live in......if we survive the madness!
My favourite blue plaque says: "Dr. Heisenberg might have lived here."

and a lovely proscenium arch that's WW1 vintage:

Phoned up EMR today- nice lady in Southampton depot doing the answering- she said that you take copper coins,( or cuni, for that matter, )
and they bung 'em under the tester......
(oh- also, split your ally up into cast, extruded or rolled- clean extruded has shot up, for some reason.....)

What???
How bizarre - I use the one in Bedford, and they are used to them, and put them in 'heavy copper'.......

An excellent assessment.

Not sure whether I've posted this before, but it's entertaining trying to imagine where the dots should go
that represent friends, family, and acquaintances ......:-)

I'm going to the cinema this week, apparently.
I've been invited to a bowel cancer screening.
Not sure what it's about....

I think there are more important things to worry about- so Crimea river....

I wish I could reply, but I find the whole arcane process of masters and dies and negatives and positives utterly bamboozling,
along with things like some letters etc double struck, which is then explained by die movement,
when obviously everything would be double, not just one bit....
Don't get me started on why only the waves disappear when dies get filled, not any other areas...that's just mad to me....

I had this slip fall out of a box containing a neck light- like a torc with leds in the ends for reading at night....
I have no idea what it means, or why it is credited to Shakespeare...
I have already emailed the company and basically told them they are twats....

I email pictures to me - after choosing what size I want - the only easy non-techy way I've found that works!
It's amazing what photography can do!?

It's all over the trade in vintage studio gear, to the point where I've had a client call me about a certain bit of kit,
a 12 channel mixer that's up for sale at a dealer in London for £60k, and I was asked
"is this guy on 'effing' drugs?"
Answer? No, just greedy.
I saw a bit of kit that isn't that rare, and usually sells for £4k, put on by a twat on a website for £7k,
and when it didn't sell, put back on for £13k, and, just I was thinking this type of selling couldn't get more sad,
I read the blurb accompanying this comedy listing, and it contained a made-up "quote" from _me_ about how great this bit of kit was!!!
I pressed "Launch".... my God he got a rocket.........how desperate and arrogant.....this type of stuff is rampant.....
......have a look at the classic Ford market as well.....who in their right mind would pay £60k for a Capri????....
