Had a lovely meal with the in-laws, although we do this frequently, its rare to get both my partners brother and his lass and also my partners twin sister all together at the same time.
Then after my partner went to work i popped over to my best friends and he's just got a new bird, so i was giving her a good looking over and she looks like she'll be a good worker, big, steady and very good shape.

Someone screamed at me from a car, "Remember that you are beautiful!"

there ya go

Seeing my feral kitties, always a great way to begin the day

Feeling warmth from the bus (back seat).

Nice. What sort of bus? Any idea what make? Rear engined bus or front engined bus? Could be a rear engined bus if it is nice and warm at the back.

My great grandfather was a coachbuilder and his family used to build carriages for the royal family. When horse drawn carriages became less popular, they turned to designing and building double decker busses. They had to be made to lean 23 1/2 degrees before they went over.

I never recall meeting my great grandfather as he lived in England, though I was told he once was brought down here to visit by my grandad when I was very young. I did used to write to him a couple of times a year.

I am being promoted to a position created with my personage and particular niche experience in mind. I was able to leverage my employer's desperation to dictate my working terms and pay. It doesn't get much better than someone pounding on your door with a job on a platter.

Coffee and kitty.

Interesting, about your family building carriages. I want to go back to old school (horses).
I'm not sure what make. It has some sort of vent in the back though.
Do they still build buses?

I think my great grandad stopped building busses around the 1950's. He did the coach bodies. I am guessing the busses came to him in the form of driveable chassis and he built the rest?

He had had a heart attack when he was 22. After he came out of WW1 he had a medical and he was found to be blind in his left eye and he never knew as he had been blind since birth. He lived until he was 98. He had a brilliant mind and was still winning crossword competitions when he was 96.

Awesome MG!

Thanks Teach51.

Cuddling with my dog.
