TFA!
Sweet FA planned.
Thought I might have to rebuild my laptop but I seem to have coaxed a bit more life out of it. Do need to replace the CPU fan as it's rattling like it's got an angry bee stuck in it. Only cost £16 for a replacement. One day I will buy a new laptop. Today is not that day.
Visit to the hairdressers on Sunday to get the greys covered up.
It's the Ride London event this weekend in town so the A4 will be fscked up. Last year I made the mistake of trying to visit my parents and couldn't get anywhere as the organisers / TFL don't put in place proper diversions or contra flows.

Saturday we're off to Silverstone for a Bentley Driver's Club racing day. Have booked to do some parade laps and have told the missus she can drive them.

Sunday the missus is going to the vintage market in Winchester so I'm hopefully setting up a crypto masternode or two....my quagmire of greed....my cesspit of laziness and unfairness....all I am doing is sticking two fingers up at nurses, doctors and other hard working employed professionals...

Not sure if you saw my post in TPD, we found a dog earlier in the week and eventually tracked down the owner who lived a few miles away. He turned up in a 1929 Speed Six.…Maybe we ain’t that young anymoreComment
