I am looking forward to being able to go away for a few days to get my head straight after the sudden and unexpected death of my wife a few weeks ago. You can tell how messed up I am, I did an online shopping order for next Monday with Tesco and my 24 year old grandson asked for a couple of extra items and it was already a big shop ie over £100.00. When I went on the website today I had only done the order for the wrong week as I had only ordered 3 items for Monday and the basket supplement and delivery outweighed the cost of the items. Also with the big shop instead of ordering Mini Kievs for my grandson I had ordered Turkey Dinosaurs! I had to delete the whole order apart from one item to keep my delivery slot and I had to redo the whole list correctly today and in the process I saved myself £27.00!!

It is easy to tell if it is summer as the rain gets warmer. Also, the seagulls in Torquay fly upside down as there is nothing worth shi...ng on!

Bognor has always taken a ribbing over wet summers but
its actually the sunniest place in the UK and we don't get a lot of rain and we look forward to having you back.

PS, driest place in the UK is Dungeness in Kent where the nuclear power station is.
Nick - in Bognor

I hope to get to a few rallies really missed them last year , anyone know if the ones happening will have the usual quota of engines , i suspect numbers will be a bit down as some dont bother to get their engines inspected etc for just one or two shows.


everyone is patting themselves on the back about the vaccination thing yet if you look at graphs on the net covid deaths reduced from the end end of May until mid October to small numbers last year without the benefit of vaccinations . there is an animation that shows nothing until mid October when its bursts into life again soemwhere in the preston area , and then eastern scotland , then suddenly eveywhere again , my guess was university students returning.

its an enclosed space thing , its a winter thing it appears , but at least with the vaccination you are much less likely to have a severe reaction to it.


sorry rant over , roll on what ever rallies we can get to.
