Scalextric
Built several large scalextric tracks with Jon and Simon this afternoon after playing basketball and aerobee in the park.
To make Jon happy, here is a bad video:

No train near Beggars Bush Lane
Walking home from school this lunch time along the Grand Union canal with Jon I was disappointed to find that I wasn’t able to provide proof of the existence of a mini-railway which used to run along the bank of the canal parallel to Beggars Bush Lane. I remember seeing the mini railway, similar to the one in Cassiobury Park, when I was younger and went on bike rides with my dad.
All that I saw of it today was would could have been an engine shed and a sign saying “No Locomotives past this point”. Great. Now Jon probably thinks I made it up….

Summer Congestion
Most people like hot sunny weather on a bank holiday or weekend. I don’t.
When living next to Cassiobury Park carpark any sign of good whether results in loud music emerging from cars, illegal parking and congestion leading to total gridlock.
All it takes is for one car to park on the double yellows and then 10 minutes later the other lazy unthoughtful bastards follow. Oh, the joys of summer.
