Tuesday

A sunny May evening, which makes a change, possibly the first this year. Arrived home to find that a rail has been fitted to the newell post at the top of the first flight. Another gadget to improve my safety. I recently had (after years of longing for one)a handy bar added to the car. Pity it's only another safety device rather than the real thing! A news report gave an account of how tolls are to rise at the Dartford Crossing. This, we are told, is to pay for the introduction of barrier-free booths in 2015. I wonder how Local Resident charges will be affected? New scanner arrived today but I won't be able to install it until Thursday, which is now shaping up to be a busy day. Toby returned to Dubai today, it was good to spend some time together over the weekend. Salad of Toulouse Sausages for dinner, a summery meal from a Rick Stein recipe. Ate too much!
