it was lovely to see you what a great afternoon of jabber more please Thank you for the coffee and cake
Me, I’ve done nothing today. But my daughter’s BF, Connor, ran the UTMB CCC, a 60 mile trail run in the Mont Blanc region with over 20,000 feet of ascent. An amazing achievement. At one of the feeding stations he was sat beside a competitor and his wife and kids had come meet him there. Connor had some spare chocolate so he said to the guy “chocolat pour le chien?” I asked if he’d been taking french lessons from Del Boy.
Had a rubbish takeaway late last night, so was on a mission to burn it off down the gym (and the khazi!). Off to my Brothers birthday bash with all the family in a minute.
An average 18 hole comp this morning, wander around the Glos Heritage day where this beauty is on display…and now drinking Amstel outside a bar in town
Strolled around Canterbury, it’s a pretty place and the weather was perfect. Some nice looking pubs but haven’t been for a pint yet. Sitting in the garden supping a cold bottle of Wainwright as I write. Life’s good.
Been for a walk at Bradwell on sea, The Nuclear plant was decommissioned in 2002 and to be demolished in 2083-2093, I had to take a longer look at this one in case I had missed something Was good to see the RNLI using there boats for what it’s supposed to be for and not used as a Calais too Dover ferry
Went to London, took my wife and a good friend to Scott’s in Mayfair for lunch, then we went to see Maverick again, as he hadn’t seen it. Heading home now, so will have a nice drink and stick a film on when we get back.
Sailed back up Sharpness through Gloucester docks up the Severn onto the Avon and onto my home mooring. 7 hours at the helm and I missed every single paddle boarder I aimed for. Good to get back so I can take the Panigale out tomorrow.
Met up with some of the Ducati West Midlands group at Dom’s bike cafe. On my way home over a Clee Hill I stopped to take photos and noticed my number plate was missing! No idea when that happened. Order a new one today, hope it’s here before Saturday because I’m going to the Picos on Sunday!
Thought I'd knock up a pair of 1.8M x 2.2m driveway gates today so they're in good shape for winter. I mismeasured and miscalculated a few times, principally on the time it would take me! Hopefully they will be finished and painted by tomorrow evening... Anyone seen my chuck key?
That could explain its disappearance. Though I had been thinking more along the lines of theft as that leaves me in the clear, plus allowing me to be self righteous, blame others, and that sort of thing...
