A Quiet Time

With Septembers fishing trip being cancelled due to bad weather, the second trip cancelled this year, but the first one cancelled due to the weather, some years it has been 10 trips booked 8 cancelled due to weather, the next trip is from Brighton early in October.

My main email account seems to be playing up, I am getting emails that appear on my mobile phone bur for some reason don't appear on my laptop, a number of years ago before I had a mobile phone, I changed my computer while I was setting it up and transferring my email account I got a large number of 'New' historic emails, that for some reason had not been delivered.

The picture was taken about four years back is the Ashley Centre car park, Epsom, I had been in Epsom renewing my mobile phone, due to a problem with the handset I had to get it replaced, both times I parked in the Ashley Centre car park as the phone shop is in the Ashley Centre, though I dislike the car park and prefer the one at Hook Road ( the bays are larger), I had left the car park and was heading home I noticed a large plume a black smoke, I ignored it thinking it was builders burning some rubbish, but no it wasn't, a woman had steam and smoke belching out of her car, rather than stopping on the road she drove into the Ashley Centre car park and parked on the third floor (in the area I usually park in) and left her car to do some shopping, the car caught fire, the fire destroyed/seriously damaged 7 other cars and  damages the fabric of the car park, when the car park re-opened they had put in temporary roof supports from the second to seventh levels and closed off the main floors for parking, this cut the capacity down by at least 70%, parking now only available on the mezzanine floors and the annexes, it took about a year for the repair works to be completed, I wonder what her insurance company had to pay out, seven written off cars, repairs to the car park fabric and no doubt loss of income of 70% of the car park for a year, it was and still is a very busy car park.
