The good morning thread

[zagatoes30]

Morning all, joy of the dentist this morning

But good news yesterday, SZ collection sorted. Paint shop have finished all bar painting the inside of the bonnet, so they are going to finish and then get it all cleaned polished and prepped before delivering it to A4Alfa on the 19th for MOT, Service, belts & water pump and to get the tappets checked. Paul will also do a complete once over mechanically and fix anything he finds before getting the AC man over to sort that out. I am coming to UK w/c 26/07 to collect and bring back on the ferry.

Other positive news is that VRT only want €200 to register here as long as I don't sell in the first year, import duty and VAT don't apply as I have owned it for over 2 years prior to import.

Good morning everyone, yet another bout of leave has fallen upon me. Off till the 15th July. So trips planned to see family and further afield. Looking forward to giving the Maserati a good long drive tomorrow but today a bit of general house admin and DIY.

Well the day has not gone as expected. Just about to leave for work and the school tx to both Alex and Dan’s year group cannot come in due to students testing positive. Both are OK so just a precaution for them but my boss told me to work from home the rest of the week.

Bugger, looking from the outside it looks like things are starting to slip back again just when I was planning to come over - are you trying to keep me out?

we have three people in work that have had track and trace messages than are now isolating. Add the three positive cases we had two weeks ago and things are slipping.

But on a positive note I have just booked Dan’s Everyman young driver experience. August 7th at Dunsford Park in a Lambo Performante, Ferrari 458 and McLaren 570S….A bit jealous as I haven’t driven any of those.

Afternoon all. Not at work today as I’ve made the trip to Essex to take my dad to a clinic to have a cataract removed at some place in Chelmsford.
Was going to do some work but it’s quite nice out. So I’ll avoid it if I can.

Have to say, Chelmsford has gone downhill since I was last here.

Mai Dan’s experience hooked is a good thing but now Alex has to isolate he can’t do his driving experience at Donnington on Sunday….Balls….

Don't tell me, Chelmsford Medical Centre on New London Road? I'm taking my father-in-law there on Monday for a post-cataract check-up.

Good Morning and nearly the weekend
Stay Safe all.

Good morning Phil, good morning all. Working from home today for the reasons above. Have a great Friday all.

Morning all, glad its Friday and once again a glorious start to the day

Big concerns here this morning on the news with the Delta variant getting into France

Oh joy, the days are getting shorter and its raining again! Good morning all

Yes, always feels to me like midsummer should be later in the year. Summer's barely got going and already we're part-way through, schools not yet broken up, holidays etc etc not happened yet. I'd vote for mid-summer being moved to late July.

Morning, all. TFIF. Been a long week of fiercy Mexicans with a sprinkling of irked Brazilians and a rogue Spaniard just to up the Latin tempo.

Morning all, finishing this session in Selby today followed by a crawl down the A1 on a Friday evening.

Have fun all…

 

[CatmanV2]

Morning, all. Forgot to check in. 16 miles on the exercise bike then a trip to the dump between meetings today. Somewhat calmer than the previous few. So far.....

Have a great one, all

Good morning everyone, finally the day of my physiotherapist appointment when I'm nearly cured. Then later an appointment with the M23/M25/M40/M6/M56/M60...then the nags head...

You shouldn't call her that, but after all that driving you'll certainly deserve a 'treat'.

SpaMedica, It's on New London Road, so sounds like the same place.

Morning all. Back in the office with a mountain of work after being out the office yesterday.

Looks like some exciting things in the pipeline as well.

Better get on then. Would be nice to finish early so I can get on my bike. I've noticed on Strava that my weekly mileage is dropping off. When the reality is that when the weather is better the mileage should be going up!
