As you asked .... poor little sod was shitting itself but seemed unable to move/didnt know where to go so managed to locate the local wardens . The beach is about 50 metres to the left up that sand track where there were hundreds of seals and at the peak of the season a couple of thousand a month ago

Went to the knee overhaul doctor. Today we talked hips. He thinks the pain I'm getting (when out on the bike) in both hips is tendonitis, not arthritis.
Basically feels like localized cramp in the my hips, but goes away if I stand up on the pegs for a moment.. whereas arthritis wouldn't.

Anywho, he's ordered hip x-rays & I have a follow with him on Feb 3rd. Takes a couple of weeks to get approval the images from the insurance.

Fitted new front discs to the wife's Mini today. I put pads in a while back and noted the discs were worn and finally ordered up the discs for it the other day. Got new rear pads to fit as well, but am waiting on the wear sensor to arrive. Its had new tyres and so should be good for its MOT at the end of the month...

Been trying to organise some friends to help me move the Bastard Minibus (can’t tow it on my own!! And needs to be ‘parked’ as the Police Municipal were unhappy with the ‘jaunty’ angle it had been left at!!)

Drove down this morning early - in case the police decided to tow it away early :o

So far I’ve added the locking wheel nuts and an extra normal one to each wheel (when the fuckers nicked the winter tyres/wheels, we could only find 3 nuts per wheel :roll: )

I’ve scraped the windscreen (until the scraper broke :roll: ) so that my friend can see out of the window when we tow it

And I’ve dug most of the snow away from the wheels/direction it’ll be towed in

Just got 30 mins to wait for the friends to get here to help. Probably not long enough for the transit to warm up - it warms up much better whilst driving!!!

All plans are off today. Had a headache all night and it's only just started to go (hammered with paracetamol and eventually the Acupan stuff I have from the rehab place)

Damn that was unpleasant. Wasn't a migraine as I know them but was a bastard of a headache.

Probably down to not drinking enough water/tea yesterday due to traveling and physio. And not eating properly (only easy food was bloody MacDo's at the train station as I ran to get the early train). But damn :(


Just have to do everything tomorrow instead :roll:

Every now and then I just make more tea so I can finish the packet!! Although that is getting less often for some (random but good) reason.

But, nice to do occasionally!! :D

Missus is ill and I'm the effing nursemaid. Things shouldn't happen that way around - I'm built for smacking things with hammers and destroying them with fire.

She'll hopefully be fine btw.

Today I've seen the rather scary message 'The battery charge is too low, stop using the car immediately'.
I'm assuming it's just the cold coupled with only short journeys at night and not a weird Noggin type issue, I just hope it starts tomorrow morning for my trip to Halfords to replace the knackered and underpowered ctek charger.

I was feeling a bit conflicted for a moment. Couldn't decide between a potential $600M lottery win next Tuesday or a mere $550M on Wednesday.

Decided to buy two tickets.

Been out to smash up nearly 2" of ice on top of the pool. Not quite the pool maintenance Yorick is used to. It's a bit chilly this winter.
