Considering this thread colour is called Christmas Festival, it looks weirdly gruesome. I'm just glad it didn't have the red at the top!

Off we go! Heading for very bouncy weather tomorrow. Oh dear. At least I've been upgraded to a cabin with a window.

bought my essential tourist tat (fridge magnet for me; bracelets for my nieces; a new scarf for Otto to apologise for forgetting him), got a Mercedes Maybach to the port, strolled straight onto the ship, and I've already had a glass of champagne and a manicure.

My train of thought is a Pacer.
A pacer train. In the 1980s, someone put a bus body on top of train wheels as an interim measure. Forty years later, those bastards won't die, even though they keep trying to commit suicide.

And then I got the ferry and tram back to my hotel to nurse my food coma. Strongly recommend Yummy Istanbul tours if you're out this way!

Have arrived at my hotel! Kind of feel like Agatha Christie may be staying in the next room.

I feel that everyone should know there's a flavour of electric aeroplane called the Pipistrel WattsUp.

I've been staring longingly at this duvet cover for MONTHS, and today it was half-price!

I'm researching Sharpe, and this may be the most egregiously bad piece of horsemanship I've ever seen on screen. That bit is - back-to-front - attached to the bridle on the wrong ring - lacking a curb chain - there should be two pairs of reins

Is that a glimpse of hi-viz, like you would wear for hacking on the roads? The thing I haven't had the nerve to do for a year? Why, yes, it is!

It took 25 photos to get a single usable one of Wimsey. In contrast, Bunter is a perfect model. Unfortunately, his tag with my phone number keeps being far too visible.

As a motorist, I disagree. If I can see you from farther away, I have longer to react. That's one of the reasons I deck myself and my horse in head-to-toe hi-viz if we're heading near the roads. The other big reason being that, if the worst happens, nobody can claim we were irresponsible.
Skeet reading: "Cyclists wearing hi vis doesn't significantly improve rider safety for much the same reason that training dogs not to eat homework wouldn't result in significantly more homework getting handed in."

Oh, the frustration of staying up too late to finish a new book nook, and then realising you don't have any batteries. On the bright side, I went to steal the battery out of a broken book nook that needed its lighting fixed, and discovered it just needed a wire wiggle to work! Welcome back!
