Not a bad spot for a coffee

Launceston hospital this evening. Home by Midnight which is a refreshing change. Launceston hospital day shift tomorrow so home by 5pm Overnight at Stratton Hospital Sunday. I know it sounds daft but it feels like a holiday for me as I don't go three nights without sleep. Gonna use the bike for all the commuting so that will be a good 200 miles and that makes me smile as well. One downer is that I am working with a 60 year GP tonight and Saturday, never guess what she is going to be talking about, given she has spent the last two years bending my ear about pensions.

And.. relax

My day today......all 3 jobs dusted off by 12.15pm and been in the pub waiting for the bus to get me since 12.20.... I do love being my own boss sometimes

When they see the infamous rash they will change their mind and go in from your throat with longer pliers.

So you'll be in sunny warm southern Spain, and not go on any rides anywhere? Or shall people expect a ride report?

Followed a couple of 2026-ish test mules up the mountain today. Things were going slow as shit during cold weather / altitude testing. What a boring job that has to be . No idea what kind / make of cars they are...

Good man, Dettol and a brillo pad sorted it all out in the end then.

A252 reinforcing mesh. Good stuff as long as they wire brush the rust off first for human use.

Bethan and Dewi have had their hooves done! Bethan looking in good shape....... ......and Dewi looking like a fucking hippo!

Dropping friend back to the airport and car back to Helle Hollis. Picking up mobike (can’t wait) and then I have a 7 days to myself.

Emailed airport parking to let them know I'll be picking the bike up on Saturday. So excited. Like a cow let out in spring..

Weather's not as good as last week......but I should be able to get out for a while at some point. No work on at the moment, but we're waiting to see if we'll be having the grandkids......or whether the fat cunt has put the kybosh on it again. What you got planned?

I remember going to the village shop when i was in school it was in the front room of a street house, the old biddy took an age to get out of her living room to the counter, by the time she got there half the chocolate bars had gone by the boys in there having a five finger discount, i'd pay for my quarter of cola cubes couldn't do that to her but Woolworths pick n mix that was a different matter

Waiting for news on how @Tango is today?

So they go in via the inner thigh for a herniated arsehole.... skippy really did a number on you this time eh pete

It’s his Christian spirit

I’m sure I can get a nice car park shot

Photos or we call......

Stay under the radar, craft a nice small c conservative goody two shoes image, do well in your exams and you you can pretty much do whatever the feck you like and cos you’re above suspicion no-one even notices

We didn't "play truant".......we fucking mitched! Then we went shoplifting in town!

My party partner went LAAARGE on day one and two so I’m now free because they’re conked out

Oh yer policing west country style. I love Somerset. https://metro.co.uk/2023/03/16/mounted-police-chase-down-driver-using-phone-at-wheel-in-taunton-18457543/

I'm not english, please clarify because otherwise the picture in my brain is something truly something!

Espinho´s Argan orchard today, you can almost hear them grow! After riding in the back of my bike for 2000km, these are the Indiana Jones of slow growing trees!!!

We got ten inches of "climate change" last night and this morning. I'm sore from shoveling.

Thanks for the good wishes all. I'm currently in my room, having showered after having the world fall out of my bottom! The nurse walked into the room right in the midst of Mandy helping me insert the jollop! I had very little dignity before, I have absolutely none now! Op is scheduled for 13:30 tomorrow, but nil by mouth from midnight tonight, so I'll be gnawing the legs of the bed by tomorrow afternoon! They keep going on about having showers.........who do they think I am? Anyway, I'll let those who are interested know when I'm out the other side.

In our early teens we went into a corner shop in Bristol on our way to Easville Market. It was quite early on a Sunday morning and it became clear that the owner (sat on a stool) was nursing a big hangover. He told us to sort ourselves out , so we did. We had about five chocolate bars each , put three pence in the till and took out three pound notes as change

Mind the fence Bob

What about a gravel trap shot

That's just being mean, dude.

That’s brexit for you, you will be eating squirrels soon.

It's long gone you trolling twat!

I see the fat lad was on the pop last night.

There's been massive price increases in food here as well. I don't honestly keep in touch with it but it feels like a bag of vegetables and fruit now costs proper paper money while before it used to be silly metal money cheap. I have never thought of we being different to northern countries regarding growing food, but I guess you're right. Must be the different climate as I think Italy is the same, some traditional dishes are very vegetable based not to be vegan or out of saving the planet but because that's how they are supposed to be, tasty and cheap with just a hint of meat derived something to give it seasoning, that's way more sustainable than going fully vegan with silly things like almond milk and plant based "chorizo", and also better than eating a t-bone every day. It got away from me, in reply, yes we are very similar and some specific vegetables are treated as small treasures and very valued, a simple cabbage from the north of Portugal that tastes like nothing you can grow in the south, or the artichokes from Murcia in Spain that are canned in olive oil and sold for the same money as tuna. We still very much are a people of farmers that way, I suppose.

The Farrier is coming to cut the horses hooves this morning......so we've got to go back over there at 11.30.

I’ve noticed a mahoosive price hike on the food front out here. And noticed Spanish peoples love for growing both plants and fruit n veg. Rather lovely I think. Is Portugal the same @Pedro?

Not what I thought, but the picture remains
