13/60 Triumph Herald - A Classic Car from the 60s.

This was one of my favourite cars, the Triumph Herald Saloon, 13/60. It's was a 1969 model in Valencia Blue with tan interior which I bought in 1995 and, after alot of elbow-grease and hard work, I showed the car at Classic Car Shows in the North of England in 1996. Sadly I hooked one of its front wheels round a post when I was reversing and ripped the D-panel and lower wing-panel. The steering was so good that the wheel extended outside the body and it came to grief that day when I put on full left lock! It was over 27 years old and I loved the sporty feel, acceleration, low seating and it also had rear suspension similar to the front wheel tuck-under of the Hillman/Sunbeam Imp. If you drove over a hump in the road it took off and tucked its rear wheels under which then straightened out on landing. With practice I quickly learned to dab the brakes just before the brow of the road and the dampers absorbed the lift-off so the car stayed on the road. After the incident with the post, I sold the Herald for peanuts as I couldn't afford repairs.

Freeview pictures breaking up again

I've lost count of the times ITV2 and ITV3 appear garbled with thin rectangles of multi-coloured bars and incoherent voices in the background. Must be the freak storms! Or I've pressed the wrong button again? I only watch specific programmes like Poirot on ITV3 so I've spent more time than usual on this PC since my 'breakups' began afew weeks ago. Save for climbing up onto the roof to check my aerial, I can't cure the terrestial problems by digital means. I'm tempted to give it a two-fingered digital response (though that would be out of character!) Anyway I'm practicing Powerpoint for a fast-approaching Exam so I need to stay focused - which leads me to a Shed Update. The suppliers turned up on Monday to construct my friend's 8'x8' Summerhouse (The Lodge) only to go away again. The concrete base isn't level! Looks like she'll have to cancel the official opening, due this Friday, as there's nothing to officially open. When the thing is finally built I'll nip round with my camera and post the resulting photo, hopefully before the first snow of Winter.

I've seen something very scary!

I've seen something very scary! It had 8 legs and was very hairy. It was in my deep-fat fryer then crawled under the tumble-dryer. I must have bought it with bananas, shipped in from Tropical Bahamas. I didn't know what to do so shouted (very loudly) SHOOOO. I would have taken a 'snap' but it might have bitten me back. What am I to do? I really wish I knew............I found a quick solution (that didn't involve pollution.) I hit it on the head and now the thing is DEAD. I shovelled it into my bin and won't see THAT ag'in (I hope!) Next time YOU buy a bunch of bananas, shipped in from The Tropics or Bahamas, remember my brush with fate. Check your fryer before it's too late!
