As a wee mini owner the state of the potholes makes for exciting driving. It's like the 1965 Monte Carlo ralle flash backs.

Corker! Is that yours? I had a 1275GT in the 80s that I sold to fund a trip to Aus. Man I miss that car.

Another fat belt of rain this morning, heavy, persistent, unwelcome. Our cattle are beginning to look mighty cheesed off.
