Dad's Toyota Auris SR (the one with bigger alloys and the bodykit) passed it's latest MOT today. 16 years old, 26000 miles! 400 miles since last MOT. Still lovely to drive.

6 September 1926 | Norwegian Jewish boy, Salomon Bohomolno, was born in Oslo. He was deported to #Auschwitz in November 1942. He arrived at the camp on 1 December 1942 and was murdered in a gas chamber after selection.

Today's climby, swoopy route,skirting the Fore Domaniale de Belleme was accompanied by some more soft rock.

On a small kick up after a ĺong, fast, swoopy descent, I pulled on the bars and thought 'something doesn't feel right' Can you see what it was? 😳

6 September 1930 | Czech Jewish boy, Michael Strenitz, was born in Liberec. He was deported to #Auschwitz from #Theresienstadt ghetto on 23 October 1944. He did not survive.

The Perfect Couple. I'm distracted by crap plastic surgery.

On way out this afternoon and got held up by bl$%dy cyclists!😄😄😄🚲🚲🎉🎉🎉 Le Tour de l'Orne. 45km/ave. Impressionnant!

Twitter #w124 #r129 hive mind. I think these should be changed. Agree? Any thoughts on replacement manufacturer?

Why do I enjoy driving (even roof up) in this bit of France? it's a mystery. Video taken by my Mrs, just in case you thought I'd volte faced about phone use in cars😀

8 September 1932 | A Czech Jewish girl, Edita Weiszová, was born in Prague (in the pic at the age of 2) She was deported to #Auschwitz from #Theresienstadt ghetto on 28 October 1944. She was murdered in a gas chamber after the selection.

'Look into my eyes. Not around my eyes. Look into my eyes. Now.......give me a biscuit'

10 September 1937 | A Belgian Jewish boy, Marcel Alter, was born in Brussels. He lived in the Netherlands. He arrived at #Auschwitz on 30 September 1942 in a transport of 610 Jews deported from #Westerbork. He was among 454 of them murdered in a gas chamber.

Today's chilly (11c), long sleeved, Supercorsa mounted cycle was accompanied by Evanescence.

Everyone when Trump spouts the usual drivel #Debate2024

When youre quoting Orban as a character reference, you're in trouble.

Just back from local VW dealer, Poirier et fils, for the Passat's 2 yearly brake fluid change. €69, done while I waited. Excellent service

At dealer, looked at new Passat. They've made rear windows smaller, which is a shame. I like some of the interior but think the dash in the 8 GT is much better, less distracting. I also don't want touch sensitive heater controls, but at least you don't need to access a screen.

Today's windy Supercorsa cycle was accompanied by political analysis of Donnie getting his arse handed to him by Kamala Harris, which was nice.
