Morning everyone and thanks for taking the time to read.

From a health perspective, not much going on this week. The discomfort remains, but is a permanent fixture now; the discomfort levels are lower than they have been for the past few weeks. The weather continues to play havoc with the planned walks and only 2 were managed around the various deluges. They were both slow and both at 13:23 each. I knew one of them would be, as it was an end of day decider, around rainfall, so was not 100% psyched up for it.

As I awaited the final chapter of Volume 7, I continued the ground work on the Malmedy project and connected to that, I received some key research from fellow historians within my network. Those additional elements have helped ensure the project is accurate, but also has more depth to it. That final chapter arrived with me on Friday afternoon, but due to a busy weekend, the main focus for that will be in this coming week.

As part of my vintage scooter interests and my annual partaking in the Skabour event each September, I met a fellow scooter enthusiast called Davy, a few years back. We always have a chat at the event, but on Friday, we got together for a coffee and longer catch up. That was a very enjoyable few hours and something different to break up the week. Hopefully we can repeat this in the coming weeks.

Sandra and I made another trip to the farm on Saturday, where we were joined by a number of our group members. More tasks were ticked off the list, which was great, but we also had another visitor who had come to peruse the remaining vehicles. We squeezed in some retail therapy on the way home, which was nice.

The weekend was rounded off with some time with the grandkids, due to us being busy on the usual Saturday.

A quieter week, compared to recently, but one with key tasks being moved on / ticked off the lists.

Thanks for the ongoing input to these posts.

Regards, Peter.
