Awful weather - typical Brits talk

Nice car Farway. Hope it's one with cheap road tax.

More rain overnight 😲 there are shades of green, just a tad, on some fields.

Crossed the moors early to go and buy some sandals, like you do, and had a lovely most of the day being sidetracked. The village/town had a roadworks and diversion which along with the cloud meant quiet and parking spaces. Might go back again just for the outing as everywhere else is heaving and annoying.

So beware of the lynton area if you were thinking of going Dusty. The diversion has caused traffic round all the tiny toads.

Just jam making today from some supermarket apples that didn't taste good so chopped and frozen and blackberries. That's going to be the way this year I think. Discounted supermarket fruit because no one seems to have any, it's all dried up.

Farway: My car should be in the G World record book for items failed on MOT. 😮 The lights worked and that's the best bit. Both rear coil springs broken, exhaust shot, emission kills Polar bears stone dead, seat belt fixing corroded, WD 40 Gold medal for rust & corrosion…..

Well at least you know you had the maximum it was capable of giving. 🤗

OT, but Karma or just weird? The A & E stuff last weekend has left a2011 Hyundai, with years MOT, without a driver. That is now my next car, once insurance etc sorted.

IMO it's synchronicity, and I've experienced it at varying levels, as child, teenager, and adult. Expressions like, "God will provide," and "When one door closes, another opens," must stem from it. It's one reason why I believe we exist in a kind of simulation, like a very advanced (and long! 😄) role-playing game.

Anyway, it seems the 'game' has supplied an excellent brand of car. It could've been a…. (better not say! 😇 )

Our old jalopy has just made it back from Bristle, where we picked up the GCs at the coach station. DD's big bus, half it's age, is in for over £1500 worth of repairs. Again, better not ID it, but French with 7 seats is a good clue! 😱

AS serendipity or synchronicity would have it, Rosemoor are hosting giant Lego models just now, so one of the finer days with the CGs will involve a trip over there. Lucky, because they're too old to believe it's an adventure park with a few flowers nowadays! 😉

OT: It's been sunnier here than in Bristle, but some heavy rain is forecast to return in the early hours. 🙂

PS. Is the bog fixed, or are you still expecting a knock on the door from the Khazi Kops?
