On holiday in Fort William for a week.

Went to Inverness yesterday. Surprisingly little traffic and only a couple of bikes on what is a cracking stretch of road.

The Green Welly bike park was rammed as usual but they mustn’t come up this far.

View from my cottage this morning.

Typical Autumn on the west coast.

Got home from a night shift, mowed lawns, attacked the hedge with the trimmer, fitted a new Emtb specific chain to Mrs M's Levo and shortly off to the vets as Sith Hound No.2 has developed another eye infection (this after Sith Hound No.1 cost me £280 on Friday for his Old Dog related ailments and allergies).

I will be stopping their pocket money at this rate.

This afternoon will be spent putting shelves and curtain rails back up in the living room now I've found the safe place where I put the screws when I took them down a few weeks ago.

Then I shall have a cider or two before dozing off on the sofa.

First off, this is in no way related to the previous post...

Day 5 of the squirts. Gone through more shit tickets since Saturday than I have in the previous 5 months.

I think it was on a BMW GS I had? Thought i'd stick it on the scoot as the screen does give a bit of buffeting! Fail. :lol:

I keep finding stuff I forgot I bought or had. Found a lovely set of Draper allen keys today and a Halfords tyre pump!

On my old SH300 I put a Givi airflow which was good, but then the only time it sees over 50mph is on a straight A road. This is the OEM Honda one and is noisy due to buffeting. I may stick another Airflow on there, but probably wont bother...

Had a full English cooked by my lovely girlfriend. Moved the patio furniture as summer is over, sealed some holes in the soffit, hacked a conifer with the new hedge trimmer, general gardening sorting out.
Then an hour long dial in as one of my staff had a confirmed COVID test result back. Planned a deep clean of our office, the car he drives etc to keep everyone safe.
COVID has not gone away people. Stay safe.
Now about to have a shower, dinner and a relax.
Busy and fun day!!

Day six... got up, weighed myself, crapped twice within 30 minutes, weighed myself again & discovered I had put on 1.5lb.

Tracer and xsr 700 look pretty tidy imo. Also liking the V strom for that style. Quite like 2020 colour 900 tracer, especially light grey. couple of gsxxsis, and a very nice breakfast was had.
Pissed down on the way home. 😕
We drove through Newtown about 3 weeks ago on the way home from Powis Castle on the bike. Great day out! 😃

Today was busy. Took wife to school and daughter to college. Then back home, collected my cassock, surplice and stoles and headed to Church for the funeral. Had a very good service followed by burial and then a Holy Communion service for the community. The deceased was a local 90 year old lady who had been a wonderful member of the community and very much a church lady. She contributed a huge amount to local life and was a real character. Lots of good memories from the community and a great service for all. A mix of informal and very formal. So good to see a life celebrated with respect and joy.
