Probably, and boringly, more to do with nystagmus.
Even bland can be a type of character

Re: What have you done today thread?
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

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.

Re: What have you done today thread?
I went out sailing at 6am, the forecast said 15kts, until suddenly out of nowhere it went up to 22kts like someone had flicked a switch. I thought it looked a bit rough but it started out steady so I reefed and then sat back, but it got worse and worse and I could see a lot of strain on the sail and then a shackle snapped on the main sheet with a sound like a gunshot and the boom went berserk, no control over it at all.
It took me a good 15 minutes to get some lines on it and pull it back in, whilst the boat was out of control, no forward movement so the rudder was useless and two gybes meant the boom was swinging wildly, and by then I'd burned the skin off my fingers, cut my leg and bumped my head. I settled it down and turned for home, got back at midday, fixed the sheeting system with a new shackle, took the makeshift lines off and came home, my hands are sore and bleeding.
It's one of those things that can be nothing more than a 15 minute storm in a teacup, or the boom comes over and fractures your skull and you die, a bloke got killed earlier this year with exactly that.

Came across this on Autotrader. £35k to you, sir.

The world has gone fucking mad if that's a realistic price for a Honda CRV. Imean, cracking little cars and all that, but seriously?
