Nope,great fun.

Speaking of engineering, look at this great wristwatch.

Had another bad weekend food wise. (Well the food was good, but you know what I mean).

Ate everything in sight, including two Sunday dinners. Gained about 3lb.

I'll shift the added weight easily enough during the week, but I really should have more discipline.

I'm a pushover when someone waves a bit of roast pork and few Yorkshires at me.

I once read a book in which the protagonist looked out of the window and saw a "Mackerel sky".

I'd never heard the description before, but I knew exactly what kind of sky it referred to.

We have a mackerel sky here at Chez Red today.

Come to think of it, it was James Bond who looked out of the window and saw a mackerel sky.

It was just after his Scottish housekeeper May had brought his kippers and eggs, and just before he slipped the Walther PPK into the chamois leather shoulder-holster into the hollow left by the the slightly more generously cut armpit of his Anderson & Sheppard jacket.

Then he took the service lift down to the underground car park, lit a Dunhill cigarette and pushed his key into door lock of the British racing green Aston Martin db5.

Moments later, window down, Dunehill hanging loosely from his fingers, he was gunning the car down the Edgeware road.

Watch out Ernst Stavro Blofeld. We're coming to get you.....

I've long harboured a hankering to do a long haul sightseeing tour.

I'd love to do a month or two in the States, or somewhere in Asia. Mrs Red & I did a mini version last year, just a few weeks around Europe in the back of my van but it was fabulous.

In my wildest dreams, I'd like to do a 3 year long trans-globe expedition.

Damn you Kinboshi! Watched the first episode. Now I'm running late.

Stunning. Just stunning.

The cleft-pallet man's work made me cry like a big Nellie.

Mackerel sky, mackerel sky, sometimes wet, sometimes dry!

Wait till you watch the second episode.

The cleft-palate work was incredible, especially on that Indian girl who needed the more major surgery.  The change was incredible and she seemed to look in the mirror and think "is that really me?"

Thanks muchly Skip. I love all sorts of odes, ditties, poems, sayings and quotes.

This one will be filed away safely with about 8 million others, and trotted out frequently depending on the weather.
