Make sure you get out and see see some sun before it's gone.Good morning Guardians, I hope everyone had a great weekendIt was pretty good weather here, but I ended up with some work to do, so I didn't go out except for a walk down to the shop early evening. I'm probably going to end up doing some more work today, but I don't mind too much

Same here Jer!
I was surprised by the damage it had caused Steve!I didn't see it, and at the time, the driver said they weren't sure whether it was a rabbit, a rat, or something else. I did feel and hear it going under the car. When we went to inspect the damage, there was a plastic/nylon strip below the grill, which was dislodged, and in the middle, there was a large, almost triangular-shaped cleanly punched out of it, as if we had hit something more solid than flesh and bone. We must have been travelling about 70 MPH though. Obviously faster, but I once saw an experiment where a solid shotgun slug made out of lard was fired through a wall of some kind (could have been plasterboard - I can't remember exactly, as I was a kid watching a TV science programme!
Beautiful shot of your AC Steve
Another fantastic shot SteveI'm tempted to carry my own AC!

I don't have many pics of the Pile side. I had this one because the tip is very slightly proud, and I always meant to spend 5 minutes filing the kick, but since I carry it in a slip, I haven't bothered. It's only been 7 years now!
Good morning Guardians, I hope everyone had a great weekend

Light Monday night dinner after a Costco run.
Sorry Leon, I dropped your quote earlier!Yes, there used to be a thing called the McDonalds Index. They could compare the cost of things compared to inflation over time with the cost of a McDonalds burger. Doesn't work anymore, to keep the cost of their burgers down they made them smaller. A McDonalds burger is about half the size from 30 years ago. Some more useless info to clutter your brain with. Have a good week mate.
Yeah, their burgers are TINY here. I don't know how much they weigh, but I had a burger in a pub a few months back, and they were serving 3oz burgers! 
I think we still have a thing called the Retail Prices Index , though the items included have varied somewhat over the years - collar starch and cigarettes went out, and dental floss and avocados went in (just a guess! ) 
We've had double figure inflation the past few years, according to the system, but in the supermarkets it was TREBLE figure inflation. I've always thought of prices in terms of a pint of beer and a loaf of bread. I can remember beer being about 13 pence a pint, but when I reached legal drinking age it was about 30p or so. I paid something like £8 a pint in London at the weekend! That's quite a hike, even over 45 years or so 
The famous benchmark, set by Harold Wilson, the British prime minister when I was a kid, was the 3 shilling (15 pence) loaf, something that was so crazy as to be ridiculous, but I pay nearly £5 for a good loaf today I got a bit of it MitchMake sure you get out and see see some sun before it's gone.
Nice rosecraft.
Its been humid here today, but not too bad. I had a couple of website articles to write early on. I also designed posters for a charity event a friend is putting on, and got them printed for her. Then, after doing some more work online, I went down to the cafe for coffee, and a piece of baklava Nice Mitch, I had baked beans, with some sausages and hash browns for my lunch yesterday. I was reading that American baked beans are completely different, which explains why nobody wants beans on toast!Light Monday night dinner after a Costco run.
