Crikey... are you giving the dent guy board and lodging as well, Matt? At the very least you should get a slab of Red Bulls in for him.

Anyway, I look forward to hearing the Strad following its transformation from a refined sports GT to a yobbish bloody hooligan.

Good morning all....A visit to Leyhill open prison today to interview 4 inmates for jobs. We work with the prison to rehabilitate certain prisoners while they are serving their sentences.

Have a chat with Downton, they have been doing it for years out of Prescoed and will know the +\_ of it.

Thanks Pete....we have been doing it for a number of years as well. We have two on site and another 5 on the way. One of them today had worked at Downtons already.

Morning, you early birds. I'm sat outside again having a leisurely breakfast. I accidentally didn't get back to the hotel until early this morning and full of beer so any plans for a heroic and dedicated morning of work can **** off. Today I have two planned meetings, one over lunch and one over dinner. Normal blah blah in between and a flight home tomorrow.

Morning. Lie in for me today as WFH. Back to back video calls, but first C25K with Mrs C. Might be getting to a point where I'll have to leave her to do it on her own. Hip is not massively happy this morning

The things we do for love :)

Have a great day, all

C

Good morning everyone, just another normal Wednesday for me. Or so I think...

Here's an interesting visitor... What aircraft is this? Excuse the hangar build in the background.

Morning, been awake since half one. Got up at 4 and started righting orders for the troops for today. Oops. I meant notes and requests for the shirkers. Into the fray and the event doesn't start properly until Saturday.
Have a good day.

Morning all from a Sunny Laval.
Got a bit of a headache from the neighbour's aperitifs last night.
Darn Pernod ;)
Got a rental house sorted yesterday over looking the river to get us started.
Also had a fun time registering into the system down at Pole Emploi but they were very helpful.
So far its all going to plan.

Oh I think it’s an Ilyushin Il-96-300, it’s a Russian built aircraft. Cubana have to be the worst airline I have ever flown with.

Morning all. Late start this morning, (thought I'd treat myself) more of the same today, year end stuff to get off to the accountants.

More looking at cars with no money to buy. :(

Hopefully if the Government have now sorted Brexit, they can get on with other stuff, like running the country and sorting out the legislation that I want them to sort. If only.....

Good morning everyone!
Well yesterday was a pretty good hoot. Down at Millbrook for a Jaguar day with the I-Pace. Rather nice car, must be said. I had a road drive, a high-speed drive around the bowl, a few hot-laps by a pro-driver on a really tight flat course, a cone autotest challenge (which I won) and the best bit for me was the "alpine" course - very up and down and tight corners, crests, hairpins and stuff where I got to drive it pretty hard (bearing in mind I don't know the very twisty track) and my group of 4 drivers was apparently the best of 500+ to do it over the last couple of weeks. I also got to stretch the ST's legs on the way out from the facility and take it round some banking.
So, now I've driven a Tesla and an I-Pace; whilst the Tesla is quicker, the Jag just seems a bit nicer and better handling. If I had my own business, it would be a very very tempting proposition due to the 100% write-down in year 1 for electric vehicles.
The other good thing yesterday was getting tickets to Muse next year.
Customers visiting me in the office today. I'll try and be nice.
HapPea Wednesday! xXx
