With Winter here we have to take every opportunity to get out with the hood down. 14 degrees but the sun was shining so we went down to the local estuary for a picnic.

How are the midges doing ?
Very plump after feasting on me. Had my coat off for all of 30 mins coming off Ben Nevis when it finally stopped raining… they got a full 3 courses, I’ve got at least 8 large bites.
Oh dear. Working out my NC500 dates for next year… Pre May I think at the moment…
Just bathe in Smidge, you’ll be alright. They are out in force and a bit early this year because of the recent mildness.
Royal Hillsborough Co Down to Navan Co Meath…… to see my dentist! ( it’s a long story…)
Hope your dentist done a better job than your concealing of your plate 
…only joking

Bathing in Smidge definitely stops them feasting on you, but it doesn’t stop you feasting on them while eating your cheese, mayo and crisp sarnies as has happened to us many a time, including one especially bad time sheltering from the rain under the overhang of a large rock in the lost valley in Glen Coe, mmm tasty

They are an essential protein supplement to the diet.

Very true, also it’s getting our own back from all the time they’ve had a meal out of us.

Took the 5 for the 7th annual service.
Asked them to check chassis, subframe, uprights, floor pan etc for tin worm - all good - apparently the engineer asked why I wanted to know - all in excellent order.
There is nothing lurking unseen…
So 1 happy ND driver.

Maybe because you asked something very unusual, you know, actually caring about your car.
If it’s a dealership, 90% PCP cars coming in ‘maybe’ don’t have the ‘owners’ forensically concerned about ‘their’ cars to such a level
