Clocks changed and I was out early enough to catch the sun before it turned into a chilly grey autumn day.

A silver scene. In the foreground bushes are growing out to block part of the river. The river is fairly wide and slow moving, it is a light brown colour and the trees and bushes on the banks are reflected in it. On the opposite bank are bushes and trees. Just visible is a small white pleasure cruiser tucked in under a tree. The trees are in autumn colours, it is a bright sunny morning and the sky pale blue.

When for a walk this morning, when the weather was lovely and things seemed photogenic.

Image is of a river scene. In the foreground is a canal boat. It is mainly blue with thin red stripes above and below the windows. The windows close to the camera are round while the two furthest away are square house style ones. The roof of the boat is a mossy ane there is a black chimney with a plume of white smoke at the far end next to a carved duck. Behind the boat are trees in autumn foliage and a turn in a fairly wide river.

Spent the evening enjoying @thektbushband playing in Ware. Reminded how crazy talented Kate Bush was, and how little of her early work I remember or was even aware of! The band are great performers with some nive anecdotes.

Cardle UK continues to be, let's call it niche!
Second day in a row where the car is an interesting piece of history but not something the average Cardle Palyer in the street, namely me, will have heard of!
I guess it is an education!

Cardle UK score with five red crosses, indicating the vehicle was not identified.

Today's Cardle UK took me on a bit of a journey! I could have done slightly better if I had not misspelt the brand name at one stage!
Still happy enough with my performance here!

Forgot to share this yesterday!
A half-decent Cardle UK performance from me.
I did this while pondering why US Cardle seemed to have a picture of an umbrella!

Shout out to who ever it was on here that mentioned Amoral Headlamp Wipes!
Hoping for good results when it is fully dried 🤞
Also hoping the dipped lights will improved by this!

Odd you should mention 5G, this is one of my local 5G towers going up in flames last night!
Image shows the upper part of a 5G tower, it is on fire with extensive flames visible around the tower. The tower stands out against a dark sky.

Well,out this is a first, I actually managed to identify a Cardle UK car and figured what to type to have my answer accepted!

A little while ago, I mentioned on here that I help run a small local car and music event, here in Ware, which took place a few Saturdays ago.
This is what it looked like from the air! As you can see we have an eclectic mix of vehicles attending despite the small scale!

The image shows a mixture of vehicles parked up in a small square. Towards the top left corner is a green gazebo with musicians playing. The cars are a mixture of classic British and American vehicles; there are 22 vehicles visible.

On the subject of Cardle UK, the day after the answer was a Lotus Elise S2, no S2 no tick, here we have it, that is wrong with the MK3!

Cardle UK Spoiler Alert
Hmm, Cardle UK remains a challenge!
A screenshot from Cardle UK shows a red Triumph Dolomite Sprint . In the text above it says "Unlucky, the answer is Triumph Doloite Sprint" In the text below, Triumph Dolomite Sprint is the first guess, identified as incorrect.

Looking for a photo of something else I found this photo of my old Cortina Mk5 2.0 GLS.
It was a fine old thing that gave me a couple of years good service.

Mention of the Renault 16 on this week's show reminded me of my favourite video from the German car show Autotest, in 1966, is an "engetic" test of the new Renault 16.
It is no longer available on the link I had and defies finding by search.
If anyone knows where it can be found please let me know
