The photo was taken by someone in the nearby town. I’d been outside looking at the night sky earlier but missed the spectacle. It’s something I’ve wanted to see since I visited Norway as a youth. Tonight I shall be staying up, standing at the top of the paddock looking north, camera in hand, hoping to see it. Wish me luck. A friend of mine took this shot on the Ardnamurchan Peninsula west of Fort William last week . 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mississippi Bullfrog Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 I bought a new boat, a nice grp Mirror to sail with my wife. The last one was a bit heavy for the steep slope at our current club. I'm liking the name on it. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure I got at least an extra grand's worth of PPI compensation by putting this in the extra notes section . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

onesea Posted November 26, 2021 Share Posted November 26, 2021 Late good morning here, rode home early hours (0230) this morning. I know it was cold but must of had a bad combination of cold damp and untreated roads. Bike was all over, crossing white lines every time wheels just slipped off them. Have ridden at all hours a few years now and never had roads so slippery. Front end had a moment, I think it was just the camber. Got home shiny side up so happy with that, tonight I will take the car… 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mississippi Bullfrog Posted November 26, 2021 Share Posted November 26, 2021 Since it is a wet, cold and windy day I decided to play with my train set. I have two signal boxes to make. This is the smaller one. Not yet finished completely as I need to touch in the paintwork. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mississippi Bullfrog Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 Boat insurance is a bit different from bike insurance. Yesterday afternoon I rang my insurers to say I'd sold one boat and bought another. The premium on the one I sold was £42 for the year and it didn't have long to run so I'd assumed it would just expire. This morning's post brought a cheque for £9.30 as a pro-rata refund, and the policy documents for the new boat. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
