And just incase you like any of these things.

Before you go ordering one of each check out the prices. You don’t want to go spending your daughter in laws rent on pies, she won’t be happy

Well Pete I have both good news and bad. Bad news- Looks like I might have to be back in Blighty by next Wednesday because vehicle deliveries that were repeatedly delayed are being scheduled for then - won’t hold my breath, last time the transporter delivering them was actually cancelled on route!! Good news while in the Brit supermarket I eyed the pies ready for a ‘Pete’s pies’ delivery and they have what you want (at a €1-3 markup per pie on where it should be) and so back to bad news.. doesn’t look like I’m going to be around to deliver the goods until I make it back here in May. Never mind, I hear pie is the perfect balm for chain link fencing inserted in the groin area warning pie pics incoming.

Found it. It’s called ‘Picture this’ Which is horrendous considering the last few posts

BOOOOOOBBBBBBB @boboneleg What’s that flower identifier app thingy called again?

That’s what I thought Let me know.

You say that but Gwyneth Paltrows defence dug up some ancient footage proving otherwise

How long have you known Pete?

Lol. Nothing like keeping the carbon footprint low I fear this Spanish pork is wasted in a British sausage which is usually so well flavoured with herbs and/or spices, generally over seasoned and contains at least 5 (up to 20) per cent rusk that the acorn fed black pig would be ashamed to have died for it! Thing is there’s no equivalent and the good ones taste gooood.

Made me laugh too. But why not, there’s nothing inherently wrong with the basic ingredient Spanish pork is there?! I suspect it’s a butcher or pig farmer who landed up in Spain and decided he could take no more Spanish sausage.

Well done, gold star

I really enjoyed the tv series. Thing is TV is never as good as a book is it? Jackson Lamb is superb. An ancient crumbling cynic, decrepit, jaded and revolting. So compelling. Not sure Apple TV is worth it though. Then again you get a 7 day free trial…

The tiny Brit supermarket is dominated by pies and sausages plus a few variations of fish and chip shop style battered fish so I guess thats what Brits must miss the most. They had three gluten free varieties so I bought all three for a compare and contrast and Mr Slowly some Marmalade which he’s happy about.

Good on ya. I’m finding the language barrier a bit frustrating. For example the guy three or four doors down saw us out putting on the new cables and came over for a chat. I would have liked to have a conversation but can’t. Just managed to communicate the bateria was flat and he kindly offered and extension lead. Nice guy, unusual for a Harley rider.. Oh damn wait I have a Harl….

There’s more than a touch of ‘threw a dart at a map’ about it isn’t there But then again it’s Madrid. In Madrid you have to go fast to stand a chance. That’s where my landlord lives, he said Madrid is hard work and reminds him of when he lived in London. Comparing it to where Pete lives is like comparing London to Guernsey

TLDR Check what they’ve marked by making a template before drilling. The last thing I had to adjust was a Givi tank lock ring listed by them as fitting my bike, but no it didn’t and neither did the surprise supplied ‘drill here’ template. Problem is they’re usually only slightly out so if you fuck it up you’ve removed too much material right next to where you really want the holes and then your in total PITA territory. I always check with a paper template first.

Nice That is so good it really belongs it what you made making bodged. On the hoof repairs are always so cool to see. It’s just satisfying, don’t know why. Maybe because it requires gumption.

Going for a walk (first one since this manky illness Pete sent). Then Torrox to the Brit supermarket because I’m hankering after some real Brit shit. Back to Motril to pick up normal food supplies and a laminator that will hopefully have made it into an Amazon locker by then. Then I have a lovely recipe for Coquilles St Jacques au Provençal (scallops in a shallot, cream n white wine sauce) inspired by Hopkinsons ‘The Prawn Cocktail Years’ for a full blown retro dish. Might not go as far as piping mash potato round the edge of the shell but then again it just makes it a kind of mini fish pie then

Went ahead and ordered duplicates of what I have here, will save a lot of mucking about wondering what bike I left what thing on and a lot of those tools have come in handy so I think I’ll regret thinning it down. It should all arrive at home in Blighty on Friday. I have some old JB weld. How long does it last?

Yer you could try him, he likes a bit of gif combat

I think I got banned right at the beginning, shame I had a great pic for this month

Good idea, I will but have you seen how much crap (including part of the bike frame) they have running over the side of the battery? It’s ridiculous.
