Sat in riders Bristol while the bike gets an mot. Having a cappuccino and reading a boring physics textbook.
Tried to pay my water bill in barclays, they have no counter or counter staff! just one counter for business uses but for joe blow, it all has to be done by machines with staff next to them trying to make you use the tech. I asked him where the real people are? he said he was a real person, I sensed this relationship would not last long.
They make machines to do the job of a person. But the machines aren’t easy enough to use by everyone. So they employ a person to stand next to it and show you how to use the machine. This is called progress.
Up at 1.30 again, it's now 3am, will be up and about at 5am. Mucho work to do. Need to get this job finished today so I can hand it over which is subject to other peoples availability and have a meeting this afternoon. Never a good time to be under the weather.
Sold my Hyperstrada today , so down to having just one bike for the moment But ...... it does leave room for a Street Triple
Sorry need to wait few months before I can make that addition But will certainly keep it in mind should things change
After yesterday's Hurricane Ophelia hitting Yorkshire I just wanna say a big thanks to Dave at number 26 for the gazebo. It looks great in my garden.
Watched a very interesting documentary on Winston Churchill. He was a hell of a brick layer in his spare time.
just read this on Facebook... My husband and I were dressed and ready to go out for a lovely evening of dinner and theatre. Having been burgled in the past, we turned on a 'night light' and the answering machine, then put the cat in the backyard. When our cab arrived, we walked out our front door and our rather tubby cat scooted between our legs inside, then ran up the stairs. Because our cat likes to chase our budgie we really didn't want to leave them un-chaperoned so my husband ran inside to retrieve her and put her in the back yard again. Because I didn't want the taxi driver to know our house was going to be empty all evening. I explained to him that my husband would be out momentarily as he was just bidding goodnight to my mother. A few minutes later he got into the cab all hot and bothered, and said (to my growing horror and amusement) as the cab pulled away. "Sorry it took so long but the stupid bitch was hiding under the bed and I had to poke her with a coat hanger to get her to come out! She tried to take off so I grabbed her by the neck and wrapped her in a blanket so she wouldn't scratch me like she did last time. But it worked! I hauled her fat frame down the stairs and threw her into the backyard....she had better not crap in the vegetable garden again." The silence in the taxi was deafening.
