VC10 was the most beautiful passenger jet of all but could, er, get a bit too steep on take off

Brilliant!

I had an Imp for 3 years at uni. It was 20 years old and I absolutely loved it but it didn't like to do more than about 50 miles without overheating.
Also not sure I ever knew the back window opened! Mine was a 66 so maybe it didn't

Spotted an MG Maestro here a couple of days ago. Immaculate nick but I would struggle to call it (or the Montego for that matter) a beauty beyond the nostalgia factor

incredible photo that's definitely worth at least 1,000 words from Andrew Harnik of Getty

What a terrible decision to make.
With a wry smile as someone with a degree in French who teaches classical guitar!

Bought it just now.

A breakwater at West Wittering

Breakwaters at East Wittering

Down at the Witterings last week. Windswept to say the least.

Excellent!
Mine get thrown in one of two shoe boxes about 2 minutes after I get home. Been at it a few years and have about 250 of the things! Every once in a while I think about displaying them but it'll need a structure.

This is almost the most insidious of all the corrupt events because it is so utterly undeserved and seemingly trivial, but her father spits fury about meritocracy constantly.

I've clocked up just shy of 25,000 miles in 17 years & I'd say
1. get a gait analysis to be sure you're wearing appropriate shoes
2. don't try to force a gait that's unnatural to you - forefoot running puts a big load on the calves
3. Pliés, squats, lunges, calf lifts
4. Don't overstride

Well done you. And the flowers look great

Well done you, hope it has left you feeling great

Thanks Louise, I'll certainly take that, 6 minutes better than I expected

Maidenhead half this morning, just the 32 minutes slower than the first time I ran it but very happy to get round a half these days.

The song that is a complete rip-off of The End Of The World As We Know It by R.E.M.
In my opinion!

Passed my driving test in an Allegro. A beige one. Chertsey 1979.

That upholstery is, er, of its time. Like high waisted bags and 3 inch wedges.

I have 6 months left on my lovely burgundy EU passport. I can't tell you how much I don't want to replace it.
Especially as my wife has an Irish passport.

If he was president of any country other than the USA that country would be a bankrupt pariah state.

It'll be my 107th so I should imagine I'll get round it one way or another! Just have to go slowly enough. 2:15 feels a bit humiliating when you've got several 1:34 and 1:35s in your past, but that's getting old for you.

Well I'm doing Maidenhead half next Sunday and as I haven't run beyond 10K since May even a half might be a struggle now!

Drove past the runners at Abingdon Marathon this morning - felt very nostalgic and a bit regretful as Abingdon was the first (2009) and last (2017) of my 18 full marathons. Really can't see me ever doing another

Cauliflower fungus in woodland

Cauliflower fungus beside an amanita

Came across these beauties yesterday, I was going to go back and collect one of them for lunch but have been told in no uncertain terms that we will not be eating things I've found in the woods

A fantastic earworm, I'd be happy to hum that all day.
Check out the original by Van Morris on if you haven't heard it.

Novels about novelists is a pet hate of mine.

Down at the Mermaid café?

Ah, the dreaded Portland "war zone". Must have been terrifying😉

You're a scotch egg short of a picnic there.
And now I have to go to the farm shop to get a scotch pie for lunch
