@ Arnie (sorry TT )

Are you there yet?

She must be close if not already there - 5 hours Glasgow to London, then to where she's staying.

Having the interwebnetthingy on a train makes a journey seem to go much faster. Well it does if you have computer so you can connect to the interwebnetthingy, and can enjoy the stunning conversation of PU.

I wonder if they snuck in the Codec for the tba cameras while they were at it?
I doubt it, but it would make life easier when they do get those camera out.

An off topic rant about cyclists

I live in a country where cyclists are invincible. There are more cycle paths than footpaths, yet still they ride on the pavement. They have special bike lights for crossing the road, but still ride across zebra crossings without warning, and any pedestrian daring to use it must leap out of the way, and any vehicle approaching must slam on the brakes. They go through red lights. They ride on roads even when there is a compulsory bike bike path. They ride bikes which are not street legal, ride at night with no lights and so on. The Lycra clad would be Tour De France riders with bellies which are not hidden by said Lycra are amongst the worst.
They ride at high speed through woods and shout abuse if you or your dog don't leap intantly into the brambles so they don't have to slow down (which often they can't do anyway as they are riding fixed cogs with no brakes).
Mountain bikers ignore the routes set out for them, preferring to wreck foot paths and bridle paths instead.
Drivers are nearly always deemed responsible for any accident involving a bike, unless they can prove the adult cyclist was behaving recklessly or illegally.

Give a cyclist an inch and they will take a mile, no matter where you live. Not my favourite people, cyclists, even though I am (very occasionally) one myself as are all my family.

Wow, that feels better. Rant over.

Now about that lorry and the bridge - how do they get something like that out without wrecking the bridge?

Well.... my K20D will still work regardless of what happens in Koeln Messe
Mine will too, but not for me. It is going to my DIL no matter what happens in Cologne. My son and I decide it was the best solution for her birthday present, and I am happy. I'll either go on the wait list for the new model and use my husband's K-m in the mean time or I'll get a K7.

Still trying to work out if I can get to Photokina.

Me and my big mouth It is chucking it down now .

Give us back our summer!

Maybe the Russians will give us some of their heat in return for some of our rain? Provided the rain doesn't fall on Poland, the Czech Republic and eastern Germany first that is - they have had even more of the wet stuff than us, and have lots of problems.

Global warming at work?

I think the number plate is there - between the two reflective strips. It is just so filthy you can't read it, but it is hard to tell from the size of the photo.
Holder maybe - but no plate.
Snootchies! Was there a number plate??? Did it fall off?

The driver is in so much yoghurt anyway that it's just another thing to add to the list.

You'll be fine with the jacket and brolly. The long term forecast is for rain most days I'm afraid, but we can always hope they have it wrong

At least it's not raining lumps here. It has remained dry all day but rain is due any time. I was expecting to get soaked again when out with the dogs but it was OK. last week I got soaked to the skin, even with a waterproof jacket on. It took three days for the jacket to dry out afterwards .
