For Margarets birthday, I bought her some shiny jewelry which refracts light and shimmers different colors – here she is modelling the necklace & earrings; I also got her an Orrery, which was made by John Gleave in England, and brought over (secretly) by Kate on her recent visit – thanks Kate!
In the afternoon we enjoyed a visit next door to Pat & Dave, including birthday cake and a real fire …
Sometimes it is the silly things that give the most pleasure … tonights weather for example:
Very wet roads tonight, and lots of cars going much too slowly … so I head off to pick up Thai for dinner, via the two route 128 rotaries (not via the more direct route that Google Maps suggests).
A nice 3/4 left round the first rotary, then a blast along the straight to the second, half way round that and down the hill to the lights & STOP at the bottom. Passing everything on the way and loving the fact that my car/tires holds tight to the road, Xenon headlight visibilty is great, my sound system plays great entertaining music … everything is just EXCELLENT 🙂
So after picking up dinner, I U-turn and head home the same, longer, way 🙂
[no, not GBMINI]
Earlier this year, this NAM thread from Doug reported the ?first? 100,000 mile MINI in USA …
Overnight Don Burnside passed through the same magic number in his MINI. Well done, Don!
With GBMINI#3 only just over 10,000 and my habit of switching MINIs regularly, I don’t see myself ever getting to this milestone 😉
