Poor obs.

A day out with Mrs.Skub for a change. No bikes were involved.

Cushendun caves.

Interesting looking rocks.

Yeah,I'd love to know the story behind them. In places it almost looks manufactured.

edit...
The Geological Society of Glasgow had a very successful weekend excursion to Antrim’s Causeway Coast in September 2017. During the excursion we explored over 600 million years of geological history exposed on the northeast Irish coast of County Antrim, from Portrush to the Giant’s Causeway and Ballintoy Bay. The rocks are superb, with ages ranging through the Precambrian (basement), Dalradian Supergroup, Devonian (puddingstone conglomerate), Carboniferous, Triassic, Jurassic (ammonites, belemnites and bivalves), Cretaceous (chalk and metamorphosed chalk) and Palaeogene, including, of course, the spectacular North Atlantic Igneous Province with its lavas, sills and volcanic plugs.

One of the most spectacular of the formations that we saw was the Devonian puddingstone at Cushendun, which has been eroded to form the Cushendun Caves. These rocks were laid down by flash floods in a desert environment, and contain clasts with a huge range of sizes.

The caves feature, as do many other locations in Northern Island, in the television series Game of Thrones. (The caves appeared in season two as a cove in the Stormlands.) Game of Thrones tourist excursions are now a thriving industry in Northern Island and we saw several coaches devoted to these

Absolute dogshit day!

Work trip to Germany - Ryanair from Stansted, delayed as usual and the airport must have been 30 degrees!
Make it to Memmingen in the fatherland and head to the Avis desk, no car for me FFS! €170 cab ride later and I'm at the hotel.
Hope of some food - no chance, restaurant is closed and pizza place down road closes before I can get to it.
Head to my room and grab a beer from the fridge - it's warm!

What a wank day.....

Beer on an empty stomach.

Positives.

WFH.
Walked my dog and the lunatic spaniel puppy we're looking after for the week.
Painted the spare room some more. One more coat on two walls and I'll be done

Went back to work after a week off, it's still shit and my minion achieved fuck all while I was off.

2nd week back as a permie - now I remember why I went consulting in the first place!

Round the coast a bit, Balintoy way and White Park bay I think, you can pick up black and white 'pebbles' lying together below the cliffs. The white is chalk but I forget what the black is - I don't think it's jet.


I love that coastline. Half of my wife's ashes are scattered at White Rocks, Portrush.

I may have broken my hand in Morzine

On the way back from the pub.

Way too many beers were had.

You have another hand to hold beer with, right?

So crack on.

Wasn't it Morzine that broke Moofo too? Dangerous place.
