Sat in the garden of our Welsh cottage looking out at the sea in glorious sunshine. A win tonight and life could not be more perfect

Just back in from a two hour walk along the beach with the dogs. Warm sunshine has just added to the inner glow I've got from receiving an invitation to a friend's wedding in Belarus in July. Today has been a good day.

Re: Today I'm happy about......
Wife called at Bolton fruit and veg market today for some vine tomatoes. . It was also general market day and, as she passed a stall, she saw on sale.........dark chocolate Bounty bars. They may still be available, but I haven't seen them for ages and they're the only way I ever eat coconut, which I normally can't stand. Bought me half-a-dozen bars, well chuffed.. ..They seem to be from the Nederlands from the label and the sell by date is June.

I was going to try and be all clever then but it turns out Dutch for Bounty Bar is Bounty Bar.TANGODANCER wrote:Wife called at Bolton fruit and veg market today for some vine tomatoes. .

In the Netherlands they probably do, yes. There's something for everyone there.

Well, when in Dam you'd keep a few in your pockets anyway as an emergency fall-back for when between FEBO outlets - I'm told

Re: Today I'm happy about......
Just been treated to an aerial display outside our offices (near Elstree Aerodrome) of a Spitfire or Hurricane (apologies for not knowing the difference).
Loop the loops and aerial twists and dive bombing the ground it was just a joy to watch (and listen to). The pilot was obviously enjoying himself too.
Simply. Wonderful.

Re: Today I'm happy about......
On the models I built some fifty years ago the Hurricane had squared-off wing tips while the Spitfire had rounded ones. Of course my memory could be faulty. I'm surprised either is still flying today...Gary the Enfield wrote:Just been treated to an aerial display outside our offices (near Elstree Aerodrome) of a Spitfire or Hurricane (apologies for not knowing the difference).

Not many left Monty sadly. This was a Spitfire based on your description. Like this:

Re: Today I'm happy about......
The difference is an elliptical wing on the Spitfire. Both have rounded wing-ends. The Messerschmidt 109 had squared off wing tips.
You can judge the whole world on the sparkle that you think it lacks.
Yes, you can stare into the abyss, but it's staring right back.

It looked like the picture. And only a couple of hundred feet above us.
Anyway I've moved on now. Happy that I've bought these:
I was looking at running shoes but, meh.
