That Euro symbol is misleading too.

I've ended up doing far better than I ever imagined and have an amazing life.

Lots of mixed emotions.
Pen's in UK and its too hot to walk into town. So having a few cold 'uns by myself and bit of weeping.

Often wonder how she'd have turned out instead of leaving us at only 29.

Unfortunately it happened to a very good VD pal only a few years later.

He hit the jackpot and got a little 'un now.

I remember it also.

It's funny that I mention "the motorbike forum" when I talk to people but it's the same bunch of people that have been online together for 30 years.

Out on the bike. Weather mixed to say the least, scorching sun and 1/2 mile later thick sea mist.

I'm currently on the Bilbao to Rosslare ferry somewhere in the Lundy forecast area. It's the roughest sea journey I've been on in a while. Luckily I've got a cabin, I've been in it since 8pm last night and have no reason to leave. Only 4 more hours to go. From the Met Office shipping forecast:

Lundy
GALE WARNING
Issued: 15:51 (UTC) on Sun 24 Sep 2023
Southerly gale force 8 continuing

WIND
Southwest 7 or gale 8, decreasing 4 to 6.
SEA STATE
Rough or very rough, but moderate in east.
WEATHER
Rain at first.
VISIBILITY
Good, occasionally poor at first.
