Tea

Okay not an inspired shot but hey ho.

Busy old day rounded off with a couple of hours on the phone to one of my very closest friends; someone who I've not spoken to for a while. He lives a fair way away - in Bavaria - and I've not seen him for about 4 years. It was great to catch up and we talked about all kinds of stuff, the kind of rambling conversations we used to enjoy when we worked together (22 years ago).

You got my Union flag mug because I'm still a very proud Brit because of how well the Olympics are going. Not just the medal successes but also the way in which this country is being showcased to the world so positively - something which George mentioned from his perspective as an Echte Bayer.

And I got my Union flag mug because I've had a day of drinking coffee (which I don't drink at home but most places make dreadful tea) and I needed the restorative powers of PG Tips.

Sorry it's a boring blip but it's been a jolly day and tomorrow I'm in the office so that'll be great too. Per Ardua Ad Astra (Trans: Some Vauxhalls are hard work)
