Cut the grass, took about 30 seconds, washed the Beemer, now looking for a caravan site around Ashbourne to go away next week.

The gas used changed in 2014ish and there wasn't enough supply of the new gas so it did cost several times more than the old one. My last recharge was done under warranty so don't know if that's changed.

Sitting in a rather nicely fitted out old barn having a coffee following a cycle and a few mat exercises/stretches in the gym. Prob more calories in the coffee than I pedalled off. :)

Depends, as said, what gas you need / how old your vehicle is;
If your air conditioning system requires R134A gas the cost to recharge is £59.95. For vehicles that require R1234YF gas the cost is £129.95 to recharge.

Just paid the deposit on our holiday place in Balaton area. Lots to do in that area, hiking, swimming, beer drinking etc....

All places are booked and sorted! Also changed Eurotunnel to an earlier crossing going over so that we could just relax and not rush with a six/seven hour drive to first destination. So excited for this holiday. First proper break in around 4 years and probably one of our last together with the children. Wife has impending brain surgery, which could change the life landscape completely, so this is an important holiday for us all.

Just been gardening with the wife, will mow lawn now and trim a bush (no dirty thoughts please!)

Michelin are doing cash back on car tyres, not sure if bikes are included, might be worth a google though.

Is that the opposite of going down on a full Brazilian?
