I no longer get paid for Bank Holidays so I think we ought to ban them (shades of Mr McDonnell)

Half-work, half-play today. Traveling to Stockholm for work and bringing Mrs Crud with me. Dinner at one of my favourite restaurants tonight (and another tomorrow) with a day of hard graft in between. Not so much for Mrs C, who I expect to be mostly relaxing and strolling.
Have a good day, everyone.

Morning everyone!
Well, I'm pleased to report I made it home yesterday. Once again I had to call the assistance company (IMA Europe, via Adrian Flux's "flux rescue") to tell them to sort 1) a taxi once I dropped off the hire car in Calais to get me to the port, and 2) organise a hire car for me in Dover. Had I not told them to do those, I'd probably still be stranded in Calais (no, I'd have sorted it off my own bat).
In the end, I still ended up stranded at the Avis hire place in Calais and the rescue people ordered me a cab for 20mins after pedestrian check-in would close. With our luggage, my friend an I legged it on foot and made it to check out-of-breath and sweating "like a gibbon at a monkey show" (as my friend put it), begged passage and they held the bus to the boat for us. I now have a 1.0 ecoboost fiesta on my drive until tomorrow evening as a hire car, and I rather like it. Thanks to today being bank holiday, I get the car for 2 days meaning that I can use it for business down to Brighton.
So, my day today will involve a drive down to Brighton to stay with a friend. I'm sure that, before that, I'm going to take a Maser for a spin because I miss her.

Finally I can say I have moved in. All because:
I finally have the cars in a garage.
Whilst it does not look tight now they are in the garage. But getting them in was quite tight as the back alley is narrow.
I will have to remove some garage shelving as it is not helping matters.

Back from a cracking day on track, marred only by a lack of gears first thing (1st and 2nd only don't make for a fast lap). Gave the car a good talking to back in the pits, and strangely they reappeared and stayed available all day. Very busy due to being a Bank Holiday, but as predicted many of them were kn0bs who destroyed their cars (tyres/brakes/both) early on, ending up with just 9 running for the last couple of hours in perfect sunshine. Excellent 
Let a few kids sit in the car too, whilst their parents took photos. Big grins and very excited boys - obviously made their day to sit in a race car. A slightly older one spent ages trying to work out how the suspension worked, once I'd removed the bodywork. Great to see kids with a real interest in actual engineering, rather than just the PlayStation.

Bet your over the moon to have a garage Ho-Yin? Looks very nice if a little snug....shall we say cosy. Allows the Noble to become intimate with the GT!
Might need to extend the garage over time to allow some growth in the garage
Where do you move to in the end? Move go OK?
