Were there any American tourists there?
I am sure there would be, but they do not have baseball caps with little strobe lights on top.

I do know this part of the country is popular with American tourists as there is so much history, military etc.

Clem, trust me......

Someone once said, life is like a **** sandwich, the more sandwich you have, the more **** you,have.

I envy people who work in gardens, do welding, bodywork, woodwork etc.

I guess we all have some envy.

And yes, it is getting closer to truck time. Stuff keeps happening in the background though.



Couple of random bits....

I took the day off on Monday to make my way through 6 clinical trials in preparation for Tuesday, then I spent some time making fire bricks for winter from recycled newspaper and sawdust.
After this I went into the wood shop, where I have not been for a long time, maybe 6 months.

Made a couple of small pieces for two colleagues.



I counted the year rings on this piece of wood, got to be around 40 or more. So the tree was 40 plus years old.



Tonight:

5 seconds before launch.



I had a days worth of clinical training yesterday and also had to train a group of A&E specialist nurses for an hour inbetween.

On the way home to Waterloo Station I saw a man with no head.



It reminded me, though different, of this crazy and real roundabout system.



For this interested, there is a link to some photos of a small car show that was held over the weekend about 3 miles from me.

I will upload about 45 pics as well and post in the thread when I get time.

Back in a bit.
