Saturday. Busy for mail. Packets were on the light side. Sun was shining bright for the fourth day this week.

Is your DOM banking those 42 seconds?

Had far too much mech today for a Monday. Now, how's this for RM logic, the walk next to mine is lapsed on Mondays, so where is my absorption? About 1 mile away. D'Oh.

I almost turned my trolley over in front of a load of kids whilst trying to get it up a kerb that would defeat Sir Edmund Hillary. :oops:
