Nowhere, that's where.
Right of egress? Pah! Nobody gives a shit. Common-sense says "park with due consideration", but the M.O. is "park anywhere, and complain when asked to move".
Our driveway is blocked and I can't get my car out. My neighbour's driveway is blocked and he can't get his car out. The flat where the work is being done has no driveway and the residents have no car.
Go figure!
Obviously the fact that we know sweet F.A. about Halloween was a contributory factor:

Even Stevens scooped the pot with a huge score, not far shy of 100:
Cathy Bown (Quiz Mistress), Tim Haddon, Helen Haddon, Denise Stevens, Natasha Tonks and Shirley-Sheila Dalton (CEO).
Ella and Bear (The Bearserkers) recorded their highest ever score to take 7th place.
It may well be the back-end of October but the garden still thinks that it's late summer.
The tomatoes are still putting out flowers and fruit:
And the raspberries aren't finished yet:
And there's this critter which has set off our CCTV cam a few times recently:
We're still waiting for the hedgehogs to put in an appearance.
Chalk up another one:

Nick, you're so MoneySuperMarket... 🙂

Possibly the spookiest evening of my life - it turns out that Claire, my partner in our makeshift team and a member of one of the teams that we've been vying with on an almost weekly basis for a couple of years, was one of the visitors who chatted with me in the TV room during my first days at LRI way back in December 2015. Her Father-in-Law was in the same ward at the same time. If the Quiz Mistress hadn't thrown us together, we'd never have known. What are the chances?
We've got a lot to talk about next week - there wasn't enough time this evening.
Anyway, seeing as you asked... Second.
No picture this week. I can sense your relief from here!
