Driving through the Black Forest and got a flash and a wave from a German registered 75 saloon going the other way.  Only other 75 I've seen since leaving Blighty.

Was it dark blue? On all my European trips, which are usually further east admittedly, I always see one 75 and it's always dark blue. And no, it's not always the same one. 

[wuvvum]

Yes.  Yes it was.

New improved recipe

[hairnet]

the chap in usa that posts the cars..........

did this........

'Sated, I walk over to the desk to get my key card updated to reflect my one-night extension. They can't find my booking...

They re-check the message I have on my phone. Baskets of fuck! 

 I've reserved (and paid for) a room at the Hampton Inn at the airport... 

I go back up to my room and rebook tonight here - then write a snivelling email to Booking.com and the Hampton Inn at the airport asking if they can waive the cancellation fee (the entire room cost)... '

 

suffice to say hes nowhere near boston

 

ive done similar and got on the wrong hotels bus when there was 3 of the same hotel (!) within 3 miles  also

Can't do that @Rustybullethole, you'll have the smoke police round, don't you know it's bad for the environment, how dare you save money on fuel etc etc etc.

We normally have an October 1st limit for the heating being on. Had to go a week early as it’s so cold.

[willswitchengage]

This looks legit 🤔🤦🏻‍♀️

Woods free and no one can work out how to put batteries in the thermostat. Well I say no one though I haven't looked at it. Because woods free. 

Have an apple tree nicely seasoned in the lock up and still loads of oak flooring and stud work from rip outs. 

Is chilly today. Did think about donning long trousers!

Apple smells lovely on a fire

Our local council website has a warning about scam penalty notices from them. They say that the penalty notice would be put on your car. If not it’s a scam. Other councils may differ but I’d contact them before paying up.
