Well done to the bhey.

He wants to be a sports physiotherapist.

Been to Clovelly today. Made it down to the harbour in 25 minutes. 45 minutes to get back to the top. My knees are fecked!

Wife and daughter having retail therapy in outlet park in Bideford. I’m sitting down on a comfortable chair until they go to a shop that I want to look in. Son has gone off on his own out of frustration!

Just ordered a 70-200mm f/2.8 lens with a 1.4x teleconverter, and then I made a banana cake/loaf!

Went down your local on Monday and it was very nice. We did get caught out by the secret menu, they had like a lunch menu and we ordered Cod Gougons and chips and a Roast Pork bap which were very good but then whilst we waited we saw plates of mixed grill coming out (which I saw you had and was a bit Jel) and Medium Rare steaks. I felt left out. Ale was nice though.

Should have gimme a shout wigs. Would have been good to catch up over a pint of Bishops Minge, or what ever they call it. It takes 52 seconds from my back door the the pub front door! Maybe next time.

I did look out for you but we literally dropped in on our way home kind of spur of the mo thing, I still hanker over a mixed grill I'll be back soon.

Servicing the Van this morning then getting kit ready to go Bass fishing tomorrow.

Quiet day today after getting rid of lodger [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] to university at the weekend.

Having a BBQ tonight. Possibly the last one of the year.

Serviced van, degreased engine from "fixed" oil filler tube leak that the garage did. Found the seal from said oil filler tube on the big tray that covers bottom of engine, took oil filler tube off and cleaned off the fookin silicone they'd used when they obviously dropped the seal. I really do despair in the shite monkey like work from garages that charge fook knows what as they are VW accredited.

I get rid of one next weekend. She’ll be sleeping in the bath when she comes home at Xmas if I get my way and convert her room to an en-suite.

Lodger [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] wants to turn his sister’s room into a gaming room. Wife is resisting that idea.

Some times it pays to drop down into Leyton and use the M102 through the Blackwall tunnel...missing the inner London toll and also the Dartford crossing toll as well....from NW Kent it use to take me thirty odd minutes to get to Orient.

Topically, I drove through the Blackwall tunnel for the first time last week. (North to South)

We were on our way to Birchington near Manston and google maps had the M25/ 26/ 20 way the quickest. I don’t drive in London.

They should fill the Blackwall in and all the Dartford crossings and get Trump to build us a fook off great wall around all of Kent and Essex. Maaaffy Cannts the lot of them.
