    Morning.


    No observable trees blown down so far today.

    Thursday.

    Chainsawing tree from 17:45 to 1945 didn't do my back any favours.

    I assume this is the one that landed on the garage during the afternoon.

    When I was walking home I couldn't figure out why the garage looked so different.

    It was mostly because there was a tree stuck in it and 3 feet of asbestos roofing had been knocked down.

    Point of order ... that would be to free the stuck solenoid rather than the starter itself

    Unless of course you were using the generic term "starter" to mean the starter and solenoid

    Just to correct myself it could be the starter gear stuck in the engine ring gear - in which case rocking back and forward would free it rather than striking with a hammer

    Om. Om.

    Urgh.
    I used to have a Series 3 Landrover that required much the same treatment. I kept a hammer and a length of broom handle in the cab for just that purpose. The broom handle because the starter was out of reach of the hammer otherwise.

    Odd it was labelled as a 150 'super luxury'. I'll have another go.

    Feckin iPod lost it's power meaning I had to endure the conductor (or "Onboard Manager" as they call them these days) making the usual banal announcements followed immediately by the pre recorded announcements saying exactly the same thing - seriously stfu

    Can now see the river as we go over the Medway bridge = dawn will be close behind

    No naked laydeeze on view this morning - think they have worked out how to use the blinds

    Not accosted by any Life of Brian inspired beggars while walking along St Pancras

    No big issue sellers

    Massed contingent of spinner bag wheelers cluttering up both St Pancras approaches and the Underground - including the classic two bag wheelers .. they have become the pedestrian equivalent of caravan towers.. and should be shot

    Feck it's Monday again
