Cold and wet here.

Lit the fire,slobbed out to watch all three races from Valencia in their entirety. An unbelievable luxury,my phone didn't ring once.

Next week will be the payback,but today was like coming up for air. 8-)

Fuck all really :D Which is nice. I watched all the MotoGP, nipped out shopping between races and took the mutts out.
sharpened a couple of knives so the pork joint could be sorted. Opened a bottle of Vin Rouge and rejoiced in how fortunate my life is this week.

When everybody finally left :mrgreen: (they do like to talk), I took the missus down to Playa Blanca on the GSXR for an ice cream. Yummy ice cream there :thumbup:

On the way down we rode through Puerto del Carmen and it was dead. This is usually the busiest and noisiest resort, but I'd say it was only about 25% of normal. Our place is just over 50% I'd say.

Lovely gentle ride in the sun :)

Been up to İzmir with the local greengrocer to deliver a pile of stuff donated in the village for victims of the recent earthquake.

The first depot that was opened is full so we were directed to a second huge place. There's a lot of stuff in there too but it's nowhere near full. It's going to take a fair bit of effort to sort it all and distribute it. Rather them than me.

Made chili... It's not come out quite right, not up to my usual standard. Can't put my finger on where it went awry.
Most bizarre.
Altho TBF, it did induce heartburn within seconds... so i got that bit right.

Edit: Roomie just suggested I may have Covid because it tasted fine to her... whereas the only part of my mouth that got *lit up* by the chili was right at the back of the roof of my mouth, not the tongue etc.... which along with yesterdays ER visit & some slight breathing anomalies for the past week has me thinking maybe I should get tested.
No cough or other respiratory stuff, just noticed that when I'm relaxed my breathing sometimes feels like it's about to stop, altho it doesn't... & my blood 0x levels at the ER were 95-98% (or whatever the fuck that machine measures)

I had quite a busy day of work, but once I was done I came home and sat in the garden, it was 25c with a lovely sunset, me and the missus just chatting about future plans to sail around the world.

Spent this morning on watch with the NCI. To say it was quiet would be an understatement, 5 boats logged in 4 hours, and 2 of them were warships about 15 miles out. To put that in perspective, a busy day would see 10-15 commercial boats, and 25+ leisure craft, with anything over 5 miles out being ignored .

This afternoon was a QA sub-committee meeting for the Multi-Academy Trust. That wasn't a barrel of laughs either, but hopefully was a mite more useful.

Tomorrow may be better, it will be hard pressed to be more boring.

It was yesterday but I had to step in to help colleagues out and digitise some material from the Terry Pratchett collection. Sample pages from original manuscripts and some artefacts, including beer bottles and death on a motorcycle. An amazing collection and i haven't even read Pratchett so aren't exactly a fan.
