Just got banned from a facebook Wild Swimming page. No one could tell me what was wild about it as it was just called swimming by non pretentious folk. Last straw was telling them i am away for a Wild Walk to ALDI for some milk. I only joined 10 minutes earlier
They probably wouldn't have liked being called 'tresspassers' or 'water/wildlife botherers' either.
Doubt is not a pleasant condition.
But certainty is an absurd one.

Just opened up the 23rd door on my advent calendar. At 61 this is the first time i have had one so was surprised and disappointed that it only went up to the 24th. I always presumed you got a 25th sweet.
Anyway wife is still at work and this was the highlight of my day so far

Sat in Istanbul Airport and just been informed of a 5 hour departue delay. We were due to take off at 02:35.
This is not good - we have a train to catch in Hanoi 1.5 hours after our new scheduled arrival time. M is on the case but it's not looking good.
Did it work out okay?
Yes, thanks Taipan. M managed to get the booking changed to a later train which we boarded from a little used station further up the line. Not as plush as the one we missed but it got us to the right place.
On one of the last trains home as the network shuts down at 2000. Engineering work is already starting. Off to see the Outlaws when I get home. Then bed and up for a 12hr shift tmrw.

"My dear Doctor, they're all true."
"Even the lies?"
"Especially the lies."
Waiting for dinner. Couple of pints in the pub wih dayghter and son in law, couple of G& Ts at home, red wine opened and breathing and wife is producing Beef Wellington and trimmings.
