Grahame

Discovered that HBOGO doesn't cross the pond Parts of Amazon prime are likewise geolocked Bits of Netflix are ok Spotify roams ... And no surprises with the BBC iPlayer

Back at my 81 year old mother's with a decent DSL WiFi ... (Finally) And she's not in cell blackspot either... Yay for mother's (everywhere)

And again. Lucky I has a starter, otherwise it might have been a bit of a sausage fest.

Rather than sit in rush hour traffic on the M25, diverted to Bluewater for something to eat. Decided to avoid the local instance of Five Guys (yes, really) Instead, fixed price menu before 6 @ Browns. Not dissapoint.

Looks like Tapatalk repeats the first pic, for every pic. Looks OK in edit. Let's see what happens. P.s. fish was good. All of it.

Brasserie Food at The Hurlingham (Joanne and I couldn't decide which fish to have, so we had both, and shared) Pud! Coffee in The Long Room

Previously, Kingston upon Thames indulgences (Warm scones with clotted cream FTW)

Tried using (mobile) browser to upload images rather than Tapatalk. (Painfully slow) Result!

Texted 'Stretch. Induldged myself by the river in Kingston upon Thames Then later was recompensed for my Mad IT Skilz, by a meal at The Hurlingham (posh polo club) Unable to upload pics at the moment due to (non UK) Tapatalk upgrade - no WiFi (or cell data reception) at (86 year old) mother in Law's (Sending this from down the lane where there is a signal, just!)

Met a friend for lunch, But the 13th century pub was booked, so we had to put up with This And this Now, just finished "IT Troubleshooting" for sister in laws husband.... Pro Tip: Airport bandwidth on iMac sub optimal, when at other end of house, And on metal table Dogs not impressed

The aficionados call them "moggies" apparently, and the timber sub-frame now has a rubber seal. Termites not a big issue in the UK (too damp?)

Something Tasty round Joanne's Brother's

Arrived at LHR. Met at airport by rental "rep-mobile". Pleasantly surprised when it turned out to be, rather than a ford or Vauxhall but instead, a VW Passat TDI 2.0 blue motion with sat nav and leather, for the same price. Result! Somewhat tempered by the fact, that filling the tank from 1/4 full, at the link local Tesco's was just over 73 quid. Call it 100 quid for a full tank (estimated 700 mile range) Got back to Joanne's Mother's, to find her brother washing his new toy I got to ride shotgun, with the top down, on a quick blast, "to dry the brakes" Need to rest now. Didn't get much sleep on the flight.

And the taste bypass

Came to the realization that the general public's taste in headphones differs from mine, while browsing the headphone selection available airside at SFO international

Or stay with the brand and get a tasteful pair like this /s

Lesser Airport Food

Tried NFC photo transfer

It's not even summer, why does the DJ keep on playing "Summertime Sadness"? #Selfie

Indeed, RIP "Raf" http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/music/music-news/11176124/Baker-Street-saxophonist-Raphael-Ravenscroft-dies.html Surprised you didn't mention that Solo on Baker Street . Allegedly the tone is due to them recording in a Toilet Cubicle in Chipping Norton. Not a phrase you can use everyday.

Had the embiggened knee drained, and cortisone shot prior to upcoming trip to UK. Hopefully that will keep me sufficiently mobile for the duration. I've been living with this for a year now, and it doesn't seem to be responding to treatment. Next possible escalation is expensive injectables in the new year ("you'll hit your deductible"), if the methotrexate still has not yielded any results. Plenty of reading material on the injectables. Might seriously consider an elimination diet at this point just to see. Ho Hum.

Happy Birthday, it's so you!
