Thoroughly, thoroughly recommended. Just mind-blowing tbh.

Also just come back from a night snorkel with sharks. Just as epic.

Got back from another break in the campervan. I pretty much became a cider drinker this summer and have used it to wash down much seafood. :burp: Got lucky with the weather and seemed to catch most of what little sun has been available. All in all a good summer break. :thumbup:

Finished the noggins on the lady shed.....packed the base up where it was still moving, made two blocks for my fruit press, cleaned up the sawdust in the garage of despair...made (and ate) a vat of Gazpacho....now I think a glass of juvenile elderflower wine will go down nicely.

Well bugger, 4 GPz deal didn't work out, basically because I couldn't find anyplace to put another 4 bikes. Probably for the best as the thought of restoring 2 GPz11's & 1 of the 750's isn't so much fun these days without my workshop

Had to deal with a bit of a Gremlinette meltdown. I think she's stressing about moving so far away to university, but doesn't want to show it. We've all had a good chat and told her it's perfectly natural, etc., etc.

One of her stresses was that she didn't have enough suitable 'uni clothing' and I suddenly found myself offering to take her shopping. :o

My brother went to Uni just down the road and never really cut the strings. One self imposed requirement for me was that I had to go somewhere "a decent distance" away partly based on his experience.

I was also short a few items of clothing TBF, but only cause I discovered on arrival there was a dress code for certain freshers events :lol:

I've been shown the schedule for Fresher's Week. It reads like an 18-30's party week in Magaluf, circa 1995. :o

One event promises a live appearance by Dappy, he of N-Dubz. Fuck me, there's an inspiration for all the kids of something not to aspire to. :lol:
