Probably, and boringly, more to do with nystagmus.

Another French lesson this morning - then meet friends for coffee, then physio, then home

My brain always feels like it's melting out of my ears after an hour and a half of one to one French lesson LOL


Today is also the first time I've ever had the caffeine shakes!! I am still learning coffee, but this morning I made a large takeout mug to take to school (not far off a pint I guess, but not very strong). Then had three coffees with friends!! I did only have a slice of toast with marmite for breakfast, so that probably wasn't good!! But after all that (and before a very late lunch) I realised I had shaky hands!! LOL And I didn't feel that well either!

All better now after some food!


I have used coffee before in the winter, but never felt like that!! LOL


Now considering going out to see some friends in their bar - maybe the next bus then come home early!! LOL

Just finished making a carry bag for a friends display chiller. I definitely should have taken more time - hurty shoulder and arm - but I'm glad I got it done for her :D :D :D

Me and my Triumph went here. It filled a couple of hours, some interesting bikes, both old and new, staff are excellent, welcoming and friendly. Worth a visit, don’t plan on spending hours unless you also do the factory tour as well, not available until August. Cafe is very good too.

We've been up to the big towers, 1,000 ft above Femes, on the dirt bikes, but today we were brave and took the Mighty Duster up. Can see the zig zag 'road' in right side of second pic.

7th pic is Playa Blanca where @weeksy stays
