Day 341 - Mr Robot Parking

A quite day today: most of spent in front of the computer screen...  This weekend was the final competition of this year's cycle before we carry out the Annual Review of handicaps, meaning that it is now possible to print off the report that IG generates to give the list of all of those players whose are recommended for plus or minus adjustments.  They all had to be written to and will be discussed tomorrow.

For most of the day, the cricket was on in the background but, with the seemingly remorseless progress towards a South African victory, it didn't capture my imagination.  I should be very surprised if the England team last very long tomorrow...

I did have to go down to our local Cobham Waitrose store to pick something up that I had ordered to be delivered there from John Lewis (this "Click and Collect" service is excellent, if anyone hasn't tried it! - despite the fact that they now charge £2 for low-value items).  When I got to the Waitrose carpark, I was delighted to see that there were a few places, a number of which were available for me to test out the car's new AutoPark software. I am glad to report that it worked perfectly though, to start with, I was a bit nervous taking my hands off the wheel and letting the Tesla do its thing.  I got a couple of strange looks from an elderly couple who stood to watch but all worked just fine!

We have been members of the Amazon Prime free delivery service for many years and have only just discovered the options that we now also get for "free": there is a music streaming service (à la Spotify) which we experimented with when in Florida and there are also a number of dedicated TV box sets: last night I got stick into Mr Robot, a tech mystery which picked op some awards at the Golden Globes recently - not for everyone, but I am enjoying it!  And a perfect thing to be watching with Mrs L is Sarasota saying goodbye to her visitors.
