Wet in London all day yesterday, and still throwing it down when we came out of the Prom last night... It lessened as we drove out into the countryside beyond Newbury... but this morning out there it was very dark and rainy.
Driving back along the M4 late morning today, it got lighter round Reading and then was sunny by Slough and a lovely sunny and warm (if humid) day in the metrollopes...."...the isle is full of noises,
Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

Beautiful August Bank Holiday morning here! Not a cloud in the sky and warming up nicely. Don't think this was in the forecast but very welcome nonetheless."The sound is the handwriting of the conductor" - Bernard HaitinkComment

Back in London and lovely sunny weather... Occasional signs of the Carnival drifting this way on the breeze. And they seem to be shooting a music video in my street - a scantily-clad black lady has just sashayed (?Sp.) past for the third time, accompanied by music and preceded by a film crew travelling backwards down the pavement... and she is using the lamp-post outside my gate for some pole-dancing!!Originally posted by Brassbandmaestro View Post

Goodness Cali, you do see life where you live. I've just come in from my big empty garden because everyone is away or getting ready to go away, I've hurt my back badly trying to get my old TV to work again. Wish Clive was here = favourite coz, but he's in Adelaide.
Can't even moan to ams today :bigrin: So no sashaying here. Bah humbug. xx
Magic, as I wrote visitors came. Okay now

I decided to do one of my long circular cycle rides this afternoon. Brixton, Clapham, Battersea Bridge, Fulham Broadway, Hammersmith, Barnes, Roehampton... everything went fine until I made my way across Putney Heath; on reaching the Merton Road, intending to return home via Earlsfield and Balham, my front tyre suddenly went flat, and wouldn't even be re-pressurised for doing short distances. Not having brought any repair gear with me,
I would have to walk the 3 and a half miles to Wandsworth Common to catch a train to my nearest station, Gipsy Hill, assuming they'd let my bike onto the train (on a bank holiday), and from there a 10 minute walk home. There was no problem with taking the bike - Wandsworth Common was devoid of staff and they'd left the ticket barriers open. Unfortunately, however, no trains happen to be running on my line today 
, and so I alighted at Norbury, at 4 miles the shortest possible walk, and have just got in... absolutely parched 
but newly familiarised with parts of SW London I hadn't visited before. Thank heavens though for those cans of lager, plus the lemonade I'd stored in the fridge!

That's good. TVs can be Dangerous Things. As well as doing your back a nasty, old TVs can have very high ( c 25,000) voltages inside them.Originally posted by salymap View PostComment
