Once more in to the breach!

I'm driving to Simons in Hackney again tomorrow - this is what happened last time in case you missed it.

This time my satnav will take me there in 2 legs - Blackwall tunnel first, and I won't be pressing 'go' until I'm very close to it, we used to drive to Lewisham regularly pre-satnav days and en-route would see signs saying "for Blackwall tunnel follow signs for ........(something or other)" Plus I now know where Simon's private plot is.

But it's still me, so anything could happen, wish me luck!

I'm not taking a train, last time I took a train to London was to attend a Nielsen do at the Tate modern and all the way I was surrounded by people engaged in loud conversation on their bloody mobiles or with some sort of device plugged in to their heads going 'Tchhht-tchhht-boom-tchhht-boom-WAAAAHH' and by the time I got there I was a gibbering wreck.

Wouldn't be much point in that, it's to do with CMCs.

Dang! Now I have to go to bed with a bleeding tongue.

Cardboard box.
Punch holes in side.
Write "Reptiles. Handle With Care" on it in big letters.
Leave on back seat. :yes:

Or park on Simon's land bang opposite like I should have done last time.

Not a hitch today, didn't even use the satnav to get to the Blackwall tunnel, needed it to get back to it of course, and on until I knew were I was, around Catford.

Well worth the trip, filled in a lot of gaps in my knoweledge of the software - thanks John (Merlin) & all at Simons.
