My 0.02p's worth. Last night I did a very comfortable and enjoyable 75 mile round trip in my Velar. It didn't breakdown. Phew!

I put about 2,000 miles on our old Range Rover in Jan/Feb and that didn't break down either.

Got the bill for my car, £1,600!
Although it’s the only money it’s cost me in seven years and 130,000km(ish) apart from normal servicing.

What was the issue ?

The gear lever linkage broke but it turns out there are a bunch of other things like a diff leak, engine mount, small rad leak, brake pads all round, etc, so I told then to get it all done plus a full service.

Took a birthday cake (a bought mini cake!) and firework candle along with a blue cheese n steak pasty to the coffee shop this morning for a mate's birthday. His wife is away on a training course, and whilst he will be going out partying later, I figured it would be nice to have someone make a bit of a fuss for him before work!!

Was aces - he didn't expect the cake, the candle or the pasty!


I then fixed some ski trousers and chilled!! LOL

Heading out in a bit to have a beer with the birthday boy and a load of seasonaires

Took a day off to do a few things without the wife being here to redirect me! Got loads of little things done but the one I really wanted done was to properly fit the double fin unit in my camper. It’s all in with AirPlay working and I’m so pleased with it for under £90 with the fitting kit! Sadly the reverse camera doesn’t work but I’ll look into that later or just use the other screen it used to use.

Ta da!

Went to take the bike out of the garage for the first time since last year & the battery was properly goosed - so, today I bought a battery & took a car instead.

[Noggin]

Went to a bike show today! Some friends go most years and asked me to go along today - opening day of the Lyon Expo du 2 Roues.

I haven't been to a bike show in YEARS.

We walked just over 8kms around the show That along with getting on and off a lot of bikes, and riding one for 40 mins, I'm aching and very tired!! LOL


The bike I want fits - need to ride one to confirm for sure, but I reckon it would be fine!

The bike I booked to ride i managed to change for something bigger but that I expected to hate - loved it!! LOL So that's neck n neck with the one I went wanting until I've ridden the first one!!

I went with three guys much more into adventure style bikes, so it was interesting

Gotta go to bed now, will put up more tomorrow (There are a lot of very shit photos of some very lovely bikes )

I've been informed by roomie that *we* are going to start eating the Mediterranean diet, which lead to a $300 blow out at the supermarket.

It's a curious place, some bits are really plush, other bits less so. There's only four wine glasses and four tall glasses, no others for example

I woke up just before 3 am; something wasn't right. I laid there trying to understand what was wrong and couldn't put my finger on it. Then I did, I touched my left ear and there's some crusty shit there and some dampness.

I thought I'd better have a look at it so went to the bathroom to find my left ear is covered in blood and it had clearly come from inside my ear. However, there was no pain, no problems with balance so probably not too serious. I'm on warfarin so it was probably nothing major, I just bleed a lot when I do bleed. I cleaned it up and went back to bed. By the time I got up, just before 8 it had bled again. My hearing was muffled but still no pain or loss of balance. There appears to be a small cut just inside the ear canal.

I had a cup of tea with a kitchen roll tampon sticking out of my ear and it seems to have stopped now at 10:30 ish but wtf? How does my ear just start bleeding in the middle of the night?

The bedding is in the washing machine and at the moment all appears to be good . . .

As we've had a dry sunny few days, i thought i'd take the tops off the lawns. Mower was out of petrol. Decided going to Tesco on a saturday isnt a great idea, so i'd use the makita 36v mower, but one of the batteries was flat as the wife had used it in the sander. Battery on charge and i go to Tesco and get petrol. Mower started instantly but revved its nuts off. Grabbed a branch and got the ht cap off before it blew itself to kingdom come. WD on the linkage and all is well. I start to cut the lawns and the wife calls out, "are you not doing the panelling today"?

Found a nice Kaw ZL1000 Eliminator for sale at a great price, would have grabbed it, but it's in North Carolina so shipping makes it not such a great deal.
Bugger.
