Well done, Chris! I have to say, you picked a blinder for an early-morning London run. Through central London by Maserati on a sunny morning with quiet streets is a treat. I'd generally aim to hit the Q Park on Park Lane before the congestion charge comes in at 7am. That gets me aloing the Embankment and past Downing Street and Parliament Square with pops and bangs and that beautiful V8 howl at around 6.45. I like to think it's a lovely noisy start to the day for the security services and any early-to-work MPs and civil servants. Good luck and well done to the freshly repaired Lady Catmanwoman thing.
Phil - photos, please. We need evidence that the bloody hippy is in remission.
Stevie - have a great day. I trust your new shoes will be up to your usual dapper standards. Is Earl Barton known for its flamboyant footwear, by the way?
Working at home today. Mrs Crud is a bit slow but in good spirits after her op yesterday morning. Takes a bit of man-handling to get her from A to B. I'm booked for a Dubai and Delhi trip leaving on Sunday, but will rearrange if she's not back on form by then.
