Yes, folks, its that time of year. There is a coolness in the air more often. A few leaves have fallen to the ground. Others are just beginning to change color while still clinging to their branches. The golden rod is flourishing in the fields. In the distance, we hear a call: Come back, Come Back to Tropical Palms! Your concrete pad is waiting for you! Ooooo.concrete pad.. nice.

Back in London again and sponging off the Canberra nurses in Hammersmith, the first task for the day to renew the rego on the Kombi, which we did with no problems.
