It doesn't (until today) happen here. That's why the guy was able to walk into the Parliament buildings with a long gun. I doubt if that could easily happen in the US capitol building.

The soldier who died wasn't even armed. Dammit.

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.

Not as fun as Grahame's travels, but took the afternoon off and went with some co-workers to Lagunitas Chicago brewery. Pretty impressive, and I already knew I was pretty much a Lagunitas slut anyhow.

Also stopped at Urban Legend in Westmont on our way back. Pretty good stuff, and a cool little place!. Sorry for the crappy iphone pics.

Always loved Morgans Graham.

Just keep the termites away!

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?)
