Bin and Gone ... But Analogue Wins

I spotted this first thing.

Yep - one bin has escaped ... I found it up the road - odd.

Then I got the cars out so we could get to the top box down for Oliver.


Hopefully the last time we'll have to do that - as I'll put it in the new [Oliver's] shed. Then entertained the GT's in the Talbot while Oli put it onto his car.


After lunch I packed everything away - well decided to take each for a run (even though it was almost 80/27 degrees again) and then they could go back into the garage.

First I decided to take the Talbot out to the marina for a boat job - but no ... the drive was littered with badly parked cars so it had to be the Ferrari. A First World Problem. I bumped the underside on the verge on the way out - I wonder if the work has changed the verge a bit. Anyway here we are.


The chart plotter upgrade failed though so it gave me an excuse to do it all again.

Coming home I bumped the underside of the Ferrari again - odd. While we were waiting for the software I gave the Ferrari door a bit of a spray as it was squeaking again.

Then the Talbot got its chance for a run in the sun.


It took almost an hour and a half by the time we'd faffed around but eventually we used the phone to download the update. Nice drive though - no tech on this. Oh and yes the verge is higher than before I noticed.

Home again and I did wonder what the people in the boat watching us that evening thought. Ferrari first - flash buggers. Then Talbot - what's that ? It's them again !

What a privileged life I was also thinking.
