Got a PCN for the ULEZ. Took my daughter to play a football match last Sunday, completely overlooked the fact that Twickenham is in the charge zone. Ninety fucking quid. Ouch.

Went for a walk at lunchtime. The apricity of a sunny day helped migrate the misery of a long, damp winter! :thumbup:

Got to the F’s, cashed in some Origin Panel points and went to Toby, which was nice and only cost me a fiver. Got back, sat in the sun with a bottle of red.
Lovely day to not be at work😎

Decided to try a Miller and Carter on a whim. Currently awaiting food...

My local ones are a mixed bag, The Sheffield city centre one has nicer decor and a more premium feel, the Doncaster one has nicer staff and better prepared food.

I've never actually had a steak, I always have the ribs.

Rolled GPz11 out of the garage, drained/removed tank, pushed it back into the garage & decided that was enough for today in 91deg heat.
Male pupster starts school this evening, one night a week for 12 weeks.

Rode the bike to multiple places for meetings and pastoral visits etc. What a joy to be out on the Triple. Just put a big grin on my face. I've found out that I am taking on more responsibility within the Deanery, and possibly more than I had initially anticipated. But that is hopefully manageable if I get some admin help!

I'm feeling a bit humbled, as I've become a bit of a steak snob over recent years, but the steak I had tonight was genuinely as good as a Goodmans/Blacklock/Hawksmoor, which I was 100% not expecting.
Not the same variety of choice, but I don't care if they have nice things. It cost pretty much the same, mind!

Decor and service both acceptable. And it's not far away. So I suspect I may become a regular visitor as decent independentish local steak places don't exist round these parts.

Time to check out M&B shareholder discount options I reckon!

Wore my new Shoei open face this morning- Thought I had a Steve McQueen thing going on.
Got to work and realised I was at best Wallace and Gromitt
Comfortable and I do love an open face for town riding.

Popped out to do a few errands and stopped for a coffee, but was tempted by a slab of bread pudding the size of a house brick.

Bloody lovely, sat in the sunshine.

I wear an Arai SZ-R all year. I might invest in a full face for next winter though.

There's nothing I really miss about England, but I could eat a chunk of bread pudding.

Hope you had custard with it ? Our heathen neighbours are suvveners and they always serve dry, so I always take custard round :D

It was offered warm with clotted cream, but I took like a man and had it as it comes with a poncy coffee.

My experience is the same as KFB, the one nearest to me is poor and repeatably so, I’ve tried a couple of times, hoping the poor service and food was a one off, it wasn’t. However the one in Newcastle city centre has been excellent on every occasion I’ve been.

Washed both the Ed80 and the car, sorry in advance for tomorrow's freak weather over Sussex/Hampshire.

Took the male pupster to dog school last night. In amazing display of bravado/stupidity he decided he was going to have a go at a Cane Corso.

E-filed my Federal & State taxes.

Tax refund: Bugger all
Taxes owed: Bugger all.

Can't really expect a tax refund when I didn't pay any taxes :)
