During my time living and working in China, I was fortunate to go to Xian for a few days.

I have many pictures if anyone is interested including pics from the museum in Xian

Right now, browsing internet while I wait for my son to finish his hoovering and we'll go shopping.

I'm aware that I've not been around much, it's not you, it's me :lol:

It's been a strange year. I turned a page and have taken time to get to know my new life. I made some drastic changes at the beginning of the year which turned out to be too much so I've reverted some of them and not been happier for a long time.

Back in the game :obscene-drinkingcheers:

I trust you're all well X

Just carried out the annual fumigation of the house.

Dog is completely free from fleas and tics but as a precaution I always ‘smoke’ the house at least once a year. I changed from the aerosol type flea bomb to ones that you set alight and walk away. The good news is the house will be free from pests, the bad news is the house stinks of smoke. I’ve got all the doors and windows open on a day with very little breeze so the smell is lingering :(

I’m hoping a liberal application of air freshener around the house will clear the smell.

You haven't posted your LC racing pictures for a while; do that and you'll have the full set of pictures that you think are important, but nobody else does :D

I have absolutely no idea who you are.
But you know lots about me.

Well done. Hope someone gives you a little badge to wear.

In the waiting room at the MOT station. Hopefully if Land Rover didn’t find anything wrong with it the MOT man won’t! 🙏

Smell of pesticide, yes, smell of acrid smoke, not so much.

Thankfully it disappeared over the course of an hour or so.

TBF, I've never really had any rails to be ON!! More like old tracks that haven't been connected for years n years!!

AND, I'm holding back on beverages until I'm close enough to pour them for you. I mean on you :angelic-green: :angelic-green: :obscene-drinkingcheers: :obscene-drinkingcheers:

Laid on the sofa, aching like buggery, everywhere :(
On Wednesday did some bricklaying with Mrs Y at the donkey sanctuary she volunteers at.
Couple of months did similar but she was a bit daft and did too much lifting and her back was bad for ages.
So this time I made her behave and I did the lifting and mixing cement.
Yes, I'm in agony this time. Was only 40 breeze blocks to lay and I felt OK doing it as I keep in shape.

Fark, it all hurts today. Was supposed to be going over to Fuerteventura on Suzuki for day out, but the only trip out will be to doctors.

Well, the doctor gave me some good meds.
This morning I felt 70.
This afternoon I was a teenager. 3 hours out on the dirt bike :obscene-birdiedoublered:
