Went and bled in a bag on queue for the 30th time.

COVID means no stickers apparently. 'Tis also the only place down south you seem to get Seabrooks crisps.

Edit. Spelling mistake highly appropriate cause I had to wait in line for 45 mins despite having an appointment.

Trimmed and rubbed a brisket for smoking tomorrow. The rain isn't going to stop me barbequing...

Mrs Harry is away for the weekend and I have the house all to myself.

I went for a swim, apparently there is a whale shark in the bay but I couldn't see it. I drank some coffee in the garden, paced about a bit vaguely and then took the dog for a long walk.
I think I'll pop down and do some small jobs on my boat, take tiffin down at the marina and then come back to watch a film.
I'm not really used to being on my own so much these days.

Yes, but about an inch of dust on everything.
I don't feel compelled to ride anything though.

I was going to do the CBR brakes but I forgot I left all my tools on the yacht, so I'll go and get those, then do the brakes later.
I might go for a ride early in the morning, first one this year!

Stung a bit, took a minute to be able to walk normally again on the way out.

Got one over on a pikey and very proud of myself for doing so....

..driving over to Derby this morning, stop at a temporary set of traffic lights in a local village and happen to look across to my right and spot a typical pikey waggon - Transit tipper, cheap vinyl signwriting, "Tree Care" and mobile number - reversed into the entrance to field with the tipper up.

I bet the cunt is fly tipping I think, as I look at him. He's clocked me looking at him and, as I reach for my phone to take a photo of him, he starts to drive off. I just manage to get my phone up and in sight when he's off, so I didn't actually get a photo.

I head over to Derby, making a mental note of the mobile number and the promise of having some fun with it later.

An hour later and I'm heading back past the spot and "FUCK ME!" he's only there again, exactly the same spot with the tipper up.

I stop in the middle of the road, stick the hazards on and am reaching for my phone to take a photo when he comes running over from round the back of the tipper and I can see what I presume is his missus, in the obligatory pikey fat dobber outfit and with a face like a slapped arse, round the back also....

....picking up all the shit he's dumped earlier.

He's at the passenger window of my van so I lower it and straight away he's giving it " I got stuck turning round, I wasn't fly tipping!"

So I say "Who's said anything about fly tipping? But we both know you were..."

"Oh no" he says "I got stuck turning round. But we're clearing it all up, come and have a look"

"There's no need" I say "you know I've got pictures of you and I'm sending them to the land owner so if there's anything left there he knows who to look for"

"Oh no mate, there's no bother with that, buddy" and so on..

I. Fucking. Hate. Pikeys.

New knee is the right one :)

The live one is off Fleet st so at least we can go to the Blackfriars pub afterwards ...
