A very striking image from @TTowpaths to start the week. How is everyone today?

To anyone who has been worried by my absence, please accept my apologies. I will try to be more communicative. Best wishes, Andy.

When I were a lad, the yellow peril was traffic wardens.
@Bonn1eGreer @SirGeoffPalmer @MelroseStewart1 @WindrushPrestonΒ @JJyabbas @DianeKemp1 @TVMarv @lincolnmoses @Nadine_Writes This is why this country is in a mess,how many front bench MP's have we heard clearly don't know a lot! There job seems to negates them answering a question
Oh, and Cathy Freeman was allowed to run for Australia in a full body suit ... that was way back on 2000!
I seem to recall that at the last Olympics a beach volleyball team from an Islamic country were allowed to wear more conservative outfits. Why can't athletes wear what they are comfortable with? (Even if they want to wear signal red at Wimbledon.)

Iβm so with Norway over this one!!! If anyone argues against them wearing shorts then I expect the menβs team to also be forced to play in thongs

What if a politician had said this?
Sitting in the garden with a glass of red wine and one of Iain M Banks' Culture series books and felt had to share this genius phrase I just read: the most effusive 'thank you':
"My gratitude extends beyond the limits of my capacity to express it".
Must use this sometime.

Patrols around Clayhanger and Brownhills yesterday following complaints of anti-social behaviour. Youths have been attending the grounds of the derelict former Royal Oak public house. Not only should they not be there but it is also a danger to themselves! β οΈ

Got side-swiped by a Clifton Cruisers boat yesterday. Complained. Said he was going slow, but not slow enough for his own tiller-handling ability!
As if on cue after yesterday's discussion by @CRTBoating on speeding, Anglo Welsh Golden Goose just flew past and after saying to him its too fast got a mouthful of abuse back. I'd tag Anglo Welsh but thru don't want to know their boats do wrong...
Good spot for damselflies on the #NorthOxfordCanal. It makes such a difference when the mowers have not been along! #boatsthattweet. Best in portrait view.

Yes, you really have to hold your boat as far back as possible. Not such a problem going down,
Hmm, the instructions say fill the top lock in preparation for emptying into the lower lock. Unfortunately the gates leaked so badly that it was risking swamping the front of the boat. Had to empty the top lock sharpish. (Botterham staircase) @CRTWestMidlands
