Yesterday I was in Rochester Cathedral as the Liturgical Deacon at the Ordination Service for Priests. I'm the fellow on the left. + Simon and + Emma next to me.

Dunno where these death metal bands get their money to build new houses with studios from!

They skimp on the soundproofing after the first phase, apparently. Paper-thin walls and single-glazed windows to the side are typical....

Re: What have you done today thread?
I've had an amazing day.
Met a couple of friends for coffee early as one is leaving tomorrow and the other's apartment is having windows and doors changed, so he needed to be out for the day, with his dog!
He said he fancied driving over the Col du Petit St Bernard and down to La Thuile for lunch. I went too as I've never been over that pass or down to La Thuile
WOW. I mean, I live on a mountain and the views are amazing. Awesome how amazing views of different mountains are!!! The landscape is very different to here in some ways. Roads will be fan-freaking-tastic on a bike (not this year unless I go up on my mates CBF in October and that is weather dependent!!). We stopped to stretch legs at the top of the pass. Then headed down to La Thuile for lunch at a little place recommended by some friends. DAMN that was good (even better that he treated me ) and we both felt ridiculously full - not a huge meal, but sooooooo rich and flavourful!!
Pretty funny, and good for the ego, as the nice Italian lady gave us the French menus, not the English version - neither of us speaks Italian, but he speaks some French and I speak reasonable French. Given that the resto was so close to the French border, we spoke french initially!! LOL Even for the dessert, she gave us one english and one french - the translation of Millefuille was pretty funny!! (Need to find the photo to write it here as they did!!)
The we drove out to Courmayeur to see if we could get a look at Mont Blanc. Sadly the cloud was doing a good job of shielding MB, but Stu pointed out a glacier so that was cool
Too many photos taken but also didn't take a charger for my phone, so once that's recharged, I'll dump some pics
Freaking awesome day

All our guests get a super off road tour. But this couple are on their 7th visit so struggling to make it as exciting as usual. So had a giggle and did a few tourist places

Re: What have you done today thread?
Went and got bits of me squished this morning - not in a nice way Bonus was that both the radiologist that did the squish and the radiologist that did the squeezing (WTF the female one can't do both I don't know!) asked why I was there - didn't believe it was because I'm at the age that I have to go every two years
Had to go to my friend's shop for coffee and chat to recuperate after the squishing. Then home to relax
I had this idea in my head that riding the bike would get easier the more I do it. It isn't Bloody hope that changes next summer as I will be a smidge peeved if it doesn't!!!

I've come back to the air conditioned hotel room to cool off a bit and stopped at the offy for some MotoGP beer as nowhere has it on draft...

Conducted a Marriage at 2pm and then dropped off the signed marriage document at the Registry Office before close of office hours. The ink was almost dry! What a lovely wedding it was with a young very much in love couple who were excited to be there and wanting to enjoy the day.

I'm sat in the Barcelona Hard Rock, drinking a Long Island, waiting for my ribs to arrive.

Belated, but photos as promised - a friend drove us up to the Col du Petit St Bernard on Monday -
Lots of interesting buildings and memorials up there. Need to go back with better shoes and prepared for some walking and investigating -
Then we drove down to La Thuile in Italy, with a river running through!!
