Life is for living. Buy the shoes. Eat the cake. Ride the bikes. Just, ride the bikes!!

Re: Insignificant Things That Make You Happy.
I started racing in 1982 with Dave Crampton and Andy Simmons (RIP). Sharing a trailer and later a van. Great pals.
Just got a text from Dave to say he's at Cadwell testing for coming race season.
Dozen old twonk
He was seniors Euro endurance champ a couple of years ago.

Re: Insignificant Things That Make You Happy.
Selling something on eBay for 1p.
Pair of sliding wardrobe doors and runners. They were in my utility room to create a cupboard for the boiler along with mops, buckets and assorted household bits. New boiler, with additional tank, meant they couldn't go back.
On eBay for a penny start, some bloke bids and wins, he's happy as Larry as they're just what he needed, I'm happy as I don't have to take perfectly good stuff down the tip for want of a new owner.
Win-win.

One of Pen's mates is starting a life art class and said I'd make a good model as I have a good body.

It takes a whole dishwasher load to make a bacon/egg butty?

You might have (deliberately?) missed the point I was trying to (amusingly) make.
Or maybe not.

Never forget, that what an artist considers a 'good body' can be rather different to the perceived norms...

It's a living. The ability to keep still for long periods is more important than the body IME.

3 days off now after 15 shifts in a row with one day off in the middle of that!
"Of all the stories you told me, which ones were true and which ones weren't?"
"My dear Doctor, they're all true."
"Even the lies?"
"Especially the lies."

My wife's MX5 not clogging up the shed any more, it can sit out side unused for the summer and then go back into the shed for the winter.
