Evening all

And a lovely sunny evening it is too.

No it's not.

Cloudy.

Right off to do some exercise.

Home!

Before Kettering, the signs were warning of delays after J21 - my junction. I assumed this would get worse before it got better and, sure enough, after Kettering the delays were back down to J20. So I headed off on the A6 instead, which turned out to be a good idea because I needed to go to the Amazon Locker, and it's on the way from the side of town that brings me in on. In the end, I was home about five or ten minutes later than I might have been if all had gone normally, which is a better time than if I'd come up the motorway and then gone to the locker on the way from there

Lovely Simpsonesque skies here.

Which makes a pleasant change, it must be said.

If I was feeling energetic I'd go & do some strimming, but I basically can't be arsed.

And I feel a bit odd, to be frank.

It's like that here

This time last week I was feeling a bit odd - hope it soon passes like mine did

Should really go to M&S and buy myself some holiday wear. But knackered.

Ah - overturned HGV at J21A, neatly straddling the exit road and the main carriageway judging by the CCTV image the Highways Agency have tweeted. I reckon he found himself taking the wrong way and veered too sharply trying to get back on track for it to have happened just there on the chevrons.

This has had knock-on effects back down to J21, which have spread south to J20. People getting off there have then been screwed over by faulty traffic lights on the A road north to Leicester. Meanwhile, the M69 also arrives at J21 so that's jammed; and all the traffic trying to get on both motorways in any direction has got snarled up in the road network around the Sainsbury's and M&S retail parks, which also carries all the commuter traffic in that direction out of the city. Basically, the entire southern quadrant is in a state of utter chaos. Glad I came in from the east now

Ribs and chips for dinner

It's becoming noticeable that it's getting dark earlier
