  1. @qikipedia globaltrailermag.com/design/view/th… First true "curtain-sider" was 1969 according to local firm, Boalloy. Flexible walls had been used before.
  2. This 27C heat and light breeze is as close as I am getting to a holiday this year. Not at the pool today, so I can tan my cheeks at home.
  3. From the pool. 7.20 mile Road Cycling on May 24, 2012 at 03:39 pm: soc.li/mHYSYCL
  4. To the pool. 6.83 mile Road Cycling on May 24, 2012 at 12:59 pm: soc.li/C7DpuOj
  5. @tomwright1964 sounds gorgeous. I had a salmon fillet with a baked potato and salad, "al fresco", myself. Same as yesterday.
  6. >Clonk< from the clock followed by thin sounding hourly toll. Bent strip for the hours had fatigued! Bizarre. Glue failed, so soldered.
  7. Gosh, it's humid. I showered and moisturised after I got back from the pool, but I am already oozing that baby oil on the patio furniture.
  8. With a modern 3G smartphone, one can do an hour of job-search oiled up on the sun lounger, between sets of lengths of the outdoor pool.
  9. Paperwork from wheel alignment done on my car features a pretty graphic. Needed alignment on the left - potholes grrr. twitter.com/AlanJenney/sta…
  10. The Google Doodle today features a "Moog" synthesiser that you can play or record tunes on. Not quite knocked out my Kraftwerk solo...
  11. Pizza delivered in an old Honda with salient flanges and sprinkled with custom accessories in much the same manner as the pizza was topped.
  12. To the pool. 7.09 mile Road Cycling on May 22, 2012 at 03:26 pm: soc.li/cINADCh

  14. After a morning with a couple of potential job leads followed up, rewarded myself with a couple of hours sunning by the poolside.
  15. I have found the tipping point between "angry young man" and "grumpy old man". Shame there wasn't a "contented middle-aged man" in between.
  16. Decided to play a few tunes on the piano by the Gibb brothers. "Words", "Woman in Love", "How Deep is Your Love", not "Massachusetts".
  17. Dropped my car off for a bunch of things to be looked at. 4.24 mile Road Cycling on May 21, 2012 at 02:11 pm: soc.li/KRqovxb
