Yesterday...tried the 111 service for the first time. It's definitely not AI.

However it did direct me to a Sunday facility where they could write prescriptions* and direct me to somewhere I could use it to get what I needed. The Doc I saw was more informative than the ones I've seen locally (the best there over recent years have been a practice nurse, a paramedic and a trainee doctor).

* Antibiotics....again. My poor old, carefully curated gut biome gets another caning.

I ate a scotch egg on the side of the Thames at Windsor and Eton Riverside, by the Station, this morning.

Took the CBR for a run out through Epping Forest and home - fired up no problem.
But blast and dammit - moving the NC to clean it discovered a screw though the front tyre -
I’ve bought some of those screw in things as it not holding any air at all - off to my local railway arch bike shop in Wednesday to get it fixed.
Currently on the Elizabeth line to T3 - missus gets back today - luckily her flight is routed via the pole so only an hour delay presumably for delayed connections.

Getting ready for bed last night, couldn't find my hearing aids to put in the box... found them still in my ears.

Was in Trader Joes this afternoon when I hear "Julian, where are you?" from an unmistakably Brit accent coming from the next aisle
Man-bun hipster right in front of me replies "Over here my sweetest Samantha" in the most exaggerated upper class Hooray Henry accent I've ever heard in my life & turned around to see me choking back a laugh

Surprised he didn't call me a cad, rogue & a bounder.

She has my sympathies. I spent a month in Abu Dhabi one weekend.

God, it was fucking dull.

No feathers ruffled.

Ollie Ollerton (of 'SAS Who Dares Wins' fame) bought his favourite motorcycle inside incase of falling debris, I couldn't get my Porsche Turbo through the doors but it's in the garage so it should be ok

Called another of our friends of a similar background and he was eating oysters in town and videoing the missiles coming in with his other hand.
We had a BBQ, we are British, so it was rather like this...

First grass cut of the year. Fuck me,that was a heavy,slow trudge.

But it's done now.

Went to put air and diesel in my camper. Huge queue at HGV fuel pump! Forecourt pumps were clear though.

I visited briefly on day. Unimpressed!! And I know Dubai can be fun - less so for a single, shy 30ish girl!! I'll go back one day, but definitely not alone

I trod lightly....

Interviewing the last 2 days for a new member of my team. Narrowed down 20 applicants to 6 for Interview - 5 with experience and 1 wildcard.

Today, the wildcard blew the 5 experienced guys out of the water - he'll be getting an offer shortly, congrats to the RAF for developing this guy over the last 25 years.
