Its now persisting down outside. Fortunately it is forecast to have stopped by mid morning tomorrow.

Evening all from Estuary-Land. I've been watching a program about the Glacier Express (Channel Four 7:00 pm). Another one for the bucket list. What is amazing is the on board catering serving three course meals to all 280 passengers from a miniscule kitchen. They also serve only local produce fresh not frozen. The get the requests from diners and the chef messages ahead what is required and it is ready to be loaded at the next station. Typical Swiss efficiency as @iL Dottore would say.

No wonder they're wild.

When I went out this morning there was a car stopped on the A13 at the Pitsea flyover, it was a BMW fitted with low profile tyres. The tread of the O/S rear tyre had become completely detached from the tyre sidewalls. The driver had successfully brought the car to a stop with the tread and bits of rubber strewn across the road.

More early 30's London.

Even more film of London, looks like it was from the same film crew.

Afternoon all from Estuary-Land. Didn't spend much at the toy fair, £4.99 in all £2 on a second hand booklet on Portugese trams and £2.99 for a small diorama in a perspex box. Interesting subject, a Victorian print shop, scale approx 1/72. What with visiting Tess Coes afterwards bought Arthur Itis out of his cave so I had to take a couple of co-codamol and a stretch out on the bed with some eyelid inspection. Now for dinner, be back later.

Morning all from Estuary-Land. Thanks to Arthur Itis most joints were seized up this morning and I could barely move. But I had to move before I wet the bed as painful as it was. However as soon as I started moving about the stiffness and the pain went. I haven't even needed to pop any pills but will take a couple before going out to the swapmeet. Probably less severe than in days past.

London 1930.

Goodnight all.

There used to be a Shredded Wheat ad claiming you could never eat three for breakfast. Arthur Scargill used to have three for breakfast, two he ate and the third he used to wear on his head.

Evening all from Estuary-Land. Just been watching an interesting program about Stonehenge on channel five. Most interesting to me was how people came from all over the British isles to mark the winter solstice. How they discovered this was just as fascinating. Part of the ceremonies involved the slaughter of young pigs, they age of the pigs indicates that they were slaughtered at the time of the winter solstice. Examination of the bones indicates that they originated in many parts of Britain, as far away as Scotland in some cases. The finding of the pig bones and over a thousand hut circles indicates a significant event.

Afternoon all from Estuary-Land. Where is everyone? Your not all watching the guys (and gals) playing with their funny shaped balls are you?

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I suggested that a couple of days ago. Another penalty would be to make any points gained after the cap has been breached invalid.

Sometimes Google Earth blanks out shop and house names.
