WHAT ARE YOU DOING TODAY (PICS)

[Giles]

Today the 2013-14 Clipper Fleet leave Gosport for London.

Paula, a few friends and I decided to go down and watch.  I thought it would be polite to call Alex and ask if he wanted to join us.

G - "Hey, you OK"
A - "Yep"
G - "We are going to go and see the fleet set off, want to meet us down there?"
A - "I'm already here!"
G - "What you doing?"
A - "In the water inspecting the feckers….."

So I ran down to see what he was doing....

Some of the fleet...

Alex briefing the technical fleet director about what they found…

One of the boats casting off…

What was super-nice is that as I was chatting to Alex, Sir Robin Knox-Johnston came up to Alex and asked him exactly what he had found when doing the inspection.  There was a bit of feckin and blinding in the ensuing discourse…..

Home now and decided to crop some cucumbers….

And then as I was walking back to the PC, fired an accidental shot, but liked it, so here it is….

drove 400km's back anf forth to do this (on weekend, not today)

edit, the embedding just doesn't work…

edit2, the music isn't what it was supposed to be...that band just couldn't play rockabilly, otherwise they played well, cha cha, tango, foxtrot, etc...

[Giles]

Yes it does.  I got rid of the "s" from "https"….

Nice weather for a trip down the shore.  Pick up something from Rita's Italian Ice and that sounds like an excellent day trip.

this morning
our toddler woke me up at 5am.
as we watched the sun rise, during letting the dog out,
i discovered that the election poster in front of our house:

got altered from:

to:

i gues you get the meaning of "fick" and "lein" means something smal.
hahah, obvious but funny in a childish way. which would fit, because the it looks like kids did it
(unless physicist did it, and meant: "Fick's law of diffusion").

cheers!
