Driving home today. As predicted, the Grum’s Day Trophy did not head my way on Friday, but it was good to see colleagues from my late teens to mid 20s, from the time before I moved away. Also, we had a great time with other friends a family. Back to work tomorrow.
It’s Monday and on this day in history:
William the Conqueror Lands in England
1066 William the Conqueror, Duke of Normandy, lands at Pevensey Bay in Sussex, beginning the Norman Conquest of England
> > > Clint’s comment: Pevensey Bay is 4 miles from where we live. I have been close to it since 1994 when I moved to East Sussex. Still not been to Pevensey Castle… DOH… https://www.english-heritage.org.uk/visit/places/pevensey-castle/

My Metropolis Friend Marianne, thank you for being a great connection. ❤️

Here's to all the people,

who get back up more times then
they are knocked down.
Who give more than they
ever expect to recieve.
Who still show love to
others, even when their
own hearts are broken. Who
smile through the sad times.
Who light the way for others.
Who spread laughter and joy.
Thank you for making the world
a better place.

Happy Monday

Have a WONDERFUL week ahead!

Hugs :•)

Today is the annual golf tournament at Folke Golf Course, near Sherborne. It’s in honour of a former colleague, Mike Dennett known as “Grum”. He used to look after us when we were sheet metal apprentices at Wincanton Engineering in the 1980s. 
In the late 1990s, after I had moved to East Sussex, he was playing at Folke and had a heart attack and, unfortunately, he died on the course.
So today is Grum’s Day. Last year my brother and I were part of the winning 4. That was the first… lol, and probably the last, time I will be part of a winning team. I am not a great golfer for sure :)

It’s Friday and on this day in history:
World Auto Speed Record
1924 Malcolm Campbell sets world auto speed record at 146.16 miles per hour
> > > Clint’s comment: MotoGP bikes can almost hit 230mph during a race. Jorge Martín set the official outright top speed record in MotoGP of 368.6 km/h (229.0 mph).
Bike: Aprilia RS-GP. Location: Autodromo Internazionale del Mugello, Italy. Event: Free Practice 2, Italian Grand Prix (2026). Nearly 230mph on two wheels!

It’s Wednesday and on this day in history:
King Richard's Feast
1387 One of the most extravagant medieval English feasts ever recorded is held for Richard II and John of Gaunt in London, including 14 salted oxen, 120 sheep, 1,200 pigeons, and 11,000 eggs
> > > Clint’s comment: AI estimates that this would cost around (GBP) £50,000 wholesale price and between $80,000 to £98,000 at retail in today’s prices. Of course, there would have been more cost on top of that!
