What have you done today thread?

Washed and waxed car. First time this year.

It's now pissing down. First time this year

When I found a place ot stay near the course, I had the bright idea of walking there and back each day.

In an ideal world it would be fab. But the only 'decent' shoes I have are heavy walking boots and we are required to wear trousers - I only have jeans. And today after the course I had to go to the supermarket and get some food for this evening. Only it's the opposite direction.

After almost an hour of walking, I arrived back at the hotel thinking was going to melt and/or die!!! It's Fing bastard hot in the afternoons - I was fooled cos the lovely instructor has the aircon on in the room we use!!


Soooo - tomorrow I'm riding the bike in. Sod getting fit, I need to get back here in a condition that makes study/revision possible - and I'll have to go to the supermarket each afternoon too!

oh, and I'm learning (and probably forgetting) a lot of new words, outside the transport course

One of the guys decided I needed to be set up with another guy. All in good humour to start with. The comments coincided with a conversation about female English tourists/seasonaires and how they get pissed and pick a Frenchie to shag. (He isn't wrong, the young seasonaires do do that. I've never been a young seasonaire!)

So, was a funny conversation to start with, but one guy dragged it out all lunchtime, break, at the end of the day and even mentioned it in the class!!!! Even told me that it'll be fine if I just close my eyes


Guessing I'll be avoiding them all tomorrow (well, one in particular!) until they change the topic of conversation

Do you know how to say "stop being a cunt" in French?

Usually a swift kick in the bollox works.

Not yet - might learn that tonight!! What seriously pissed me off was that he's being a bit mean to the guy. It's tiresome to me, but what he said about the guy wasn't so nice.

So yes, might have to do some learning tonight (or use the app in the morning if he starts again!!)

I'm trying to avoid violence - mostly cos I think I'd get kicked off the course !!


Shame really as before this, the ringleader was the most fanciable on the course - and we have 11.5 weeks to go, and I will probably be getting a lift from him when the weather goes past being bikeable!! The more he behaved like this, the less fanciable he got!! (not that there was any chance, just a bit sad !!)

Just walked past the footy ground and a ball came over the big fence. Windy as fuck
Tried to kick it back. Oops.

It weighed like summat Stanley Matthews played with. Hurt me foot in flipflops

And bloody howling wind. Failed 4 times

So walked 100 yards and kicked it over a gate

Did a lot more learning, the instructor is not particularly kind to a person with an actual registered disability and I was nearly sick in the class room!!

Gonna have an early night and get up early to do some revision cos my head is still not totally unspinning!

Oops.

Wasn't even on my head at the time

I spoke to Bell Helmets who said "Send it back and we'll send you a new one". They wanted to have a look to see what/why it broke.

As much as i like the helmet, i'm not sure I massively trust it now, so not sure i even want a new one. Likely option is to get it back and sell it on.

After getting a message from the Steam Packet that tonight's boat from Liverpool won't sail due to yet another storm on top of all the chaos that's gone on this week I've rearranged my annual visit to the Isle of Man & now I'm going over in a fortnight,hopefully the rain will have temporarily stopped by then.No extra charges & better sailing times,got to look on the brightside,just need the weather now

A week ago a friend went in for a boob o/h.Today I ran her back to BH* for a check up. When she was leaving the Dr gave her the old implants, she's not sure what to do with them.


* Beverly Hills, not Boob House.

[Noggin]

Haven't done as much revision as I'd planned this weekend, but at least I got to chat with some friends, so definitely less stressed!! LOL

But, getting up extra early tomorrow to try and do a quick bit of revision then before heading to the school for 5.45 to do a bit of a test from 6am and then do some driving of an actual bus before lunch Woohooo


Sooo, really early night tonight, then an early finish tomorrow so will have the whole afternoon to do more revision for the test on Tuesday morning (that's a written test that I am slightly more confident about. I think!! LOL)

Night night

Added a drag chute to the F350....

[KungFooBob]

Bit of filling, bit of sanding, bit of painting, to fix a previous bodge of a kitchen wall where when removing the skirting a large panel behind the radiator fell out.

Then a couple of coats of black satin metal paint on the kitchen radiator, then a rub down with wet and dry to get rid of all the runs, then another couple of coats. I might refit it tomorrow it it doesn't look total dog shit when it's dry.

Have you seen how much black radiators cost... not that I could find one 900x700 anyway?

Trip to Screwfix to purchase/replace the fill valve in the downstairs bog.

Transferred a load more stuff from the old shed to the new shed, prior to deciding what to do with said stuff.

Anyone need a dental plaster grinder?

I got to school a smidge early (we were told that the day starts at 6am and we should be 15 mins early, so I was there at 5.30! ). But, gates locked, no one around Some others arrived about 15 mins later, but the teacher arrived at 5.50



Then, when we went to start the day in the bus, the battery was flat!! So the start of day learning some manoeuvres didn't happen remotely on time

Anyway, we did a very short bit of manoeuvring, including reversing around some markers


THEN - they actually let the FUF out on the road in a BUS!! (TBF, they don't know about the FUF!!). All went pretty well for a first time in a long bus. And considering the last time I drove a slightly shorter bus (the Bristol LHS) was over 30 years ago, I'm pretty happy with the day Well apart from the stupid early start!! LOL
