What have you done today thread?

She did say that there are very very few French that even have basic knowledge of first aid and so if people just remember a bit, I think they are happy!

I've often argued that half a day's FA training when kids are around 13/14 years old would be a sensible spend of school time. Valuable lesson to take into life.

100%. Hugely valuable!

What made me raise a brow this time was that there is no actual training on the breaths side of the CPR. I know this is due to covid and not wanting to take risks on transferring 'germs' in class. But it is interesting - when I last did it, a bit part was how much pressure you put into the compressions and how much/hard you have to breathe.

Equally, I do like that they also mention that even just doing chest compressions is better than nothing - some oxygen goes in with the compressions and if you keep the blood going around, they might make it till the pros arrive!!

But, I do agree with you - every kid should get basic first aid training, even it's its just CPR.

'Til you hear them pop.

Big box & smaller box arrived, allegedly containing enough diet food for a month. Thought I'd been shorted, inventoried contents.... it's all there. I'm gonna starve..

Floored it in front of a cop this morning...

Was in the #1 lane at about 75mph & was about to pass a big rig in the #2 (of 3) lane. Spotted a CHP Charger coming up behind me with the lights on so decided the best course of action to get him past me was accelerate past the truck & move over in front of it... I was in the ST.
Pulled away from the Charger like he hit the brakes & was doing 90+ as I moved over in front of the truck. About two miles later I see some guy with a Harley pulled over by 4 CHP cruisers & two bike cops. The bike cops were facing the wrong way on the freeway.

You could have halved your normal shop, saved a fortune and felt just as hungry.

You know you've not dropped 1.2lb of fat in 24 hours don't you?

Of course. I also didn't eat any of the food that arrived yet (apart from a small bag of cookies). I did have salad for dinner the past two days though.

Passed yet?

I remember when Gremlinette passed last year. I packed her off in her new car, told her to go drive somewhere on her own. As she drove off I got really quite choked and welled up. Big stepping stone in growing up.

Bus wanker!!!!!

Step-son passed his driving test today.
Fuck knows how having witnessed his driving but that means the runaround DS3 I use will be heading his way.....

[ZRX61]

Dropped the ST off at the bodyshop to have new parts fitted. Would have done it all myself, but the bumper cover had to be painted & I can't do that at home.

If you don't get the passenger door wrapped in red then the forum will disown you!

I've been sorting out the mancave.Took 30 minutes to get the FZ750 off the workbench,turned out it had been sat there so long that both tyres were flat



The XT600,which has been parked up to one side is going on the workbench as I fancy getting the old thumper running again.
It expired over on the Isle of Man in 2017 & I think the reason for a lack of spark is that only one side of the crank is turning
I'll post about it in the Projects section.

Today I charged car battery to 100% after leaving it on the charger overnight. Saved me money as garage were going to charge me for that (geddit).

I walked 8 miles with the hound. Three walks out of me today, around 4 hours altogether of walks. Met with a good friend for a quick catch up and chat, so that was great. Did a light afternoon meal for wife and myself with smoked mackerel and garlic bread. Was tasty, managed to keep most of it away from the cats and dog.

Did some work on a sermon for tomorrow mornings service and put together the liturgy for the Evening Holy Communion service.

Had a glass of Vicarius, a nice Hungarian Dry White Tokaji wine. £7.99 from Lidl a few months ago. Still have another bottle stashed away.

Going to have smoke salmon with cream cheese on a thick slice of fresh soda bread. Hmmm. Will finish evening with a small snifter of Laphraoig single malt.

Chucked a mixer's worth of concrete on to the scratio base to keep the rebar in place.

Went to a funeral, he was a lovely chap and well known so a very good turnout, a full church, sacristy and entrance hall, and speakers outside for the rest.

60 odd K miles, no recent advisories and a good starter for people playing "Yellow car".
Nice one.

£208 ‘learner’ insurance and estimates of £1100 PA first year if he passes. That’s not bad
