    Office via the toll road so up early without a run, hounds looked a bit disappointed at coming home after only 2 miles.

    Later I will be supporting Brighton

    Passing through sunny Brixton on the train. Not many meetings today, which is good, have managed to bin a few time wasters. I can feel a coffee and a pasty coming on...

    Nope, drive Panzer to a suitable train station on the edge of suburbia, hop on train direct to Victoria. Train prices from Sevenoaks are a complete ripoff so best avoided unless drinking in town - and I get to do some 'Panzercise' on the country roads before I get to suburbia :)

    Morning. WFW as usual, picking up the usual 💩 left from being off for a wk. Only at half strength as a few people off. Hopefully I'll run later and ride tomorrow.
    Too many bikes according to Mrs O.

    Taxi duty today, mother to specialist and a few other errands. Not a big deal, was cool and windy.

    Fixed a couple of lights in the shed. Trying to figure out a design for new storage stuff in the office, which is (a) easy to make and (b) functional and (c) pretty is proving a tricky task.

    Busy day of wfw, managed to wobble in at least. Still utterly knackered, only had a bout 4 hours kip. Way too much going on for my tiny mind to deal with.

    True, although we need to distinguish between the sticks and where Pinno lives, which is where you get the Morlocks and the Eloi.

    No I don't think it was. My aerial was pointing SE but I think it needed to point NE, great circles and all that.
