Is that the one at Sarisbury green? Is it worth a visit with a dog and grandkids ?

I shall be taking my bike for a spin around the back of the hill before ending up at Route 66 before the family arrive for a barbecue..
Aye, quite nice trail through woods and duck ponds, few people there :)

Ate out for the first time since this sillyness started, and played a round of crazy golf.

Appointment booked for a set time, but arrived really early, wondering whether I could get in early?

2 cars ahead of me with occupants being tested, two more waiting. I was home (40 miles away) about appt time.

Things to know:
1. Swab to back of throat, "say ahhhh". You run out of breath before they finish
2. Swab up nose tickles. I didn't know that sinuses could be ticklish:)
When I did mine they dropped the kit in the car via the passenger window and it was all DIY. It was basically a home test without and post involved. I didn't realise they did it in some places ... unless they've all changed in the last month

I had the same at Gatwick a couple of weeks ago, the diagram seemed to point right at my gag reflex so I'm not sure my DIY attempt hit the right spot.

Not just today, but for the last couple of weeks I've been watching the building I've been in for 11 years be slowly taken apart around me. The middle of October I will be decommissioning the remainder of the IT infrastructure and locking up for the final time. I've filled half a skip with old software, manuals and books going back to the dark ages and there must be a couple of tons of old stuff for WEEE disposal. Sad times.

Have you looked at Rayners Lane since I left. It's now over 100 flats.

I've got someone collecting a rack of your old crap next week. The DR CES setup that is still configured to point to Rayners Lane! Nobody at GVC knew it even existed.

Looked at a new house.... I'm not sure I want to move in the current climate, but triple garage and workshop with no stamp duty on the first £500k are quite tempting

I bought a strimmer!! Mainly due to the 3 boxes of grass seed I spread around are now working so it needs tidying.
Tomorrow, I may buy milk.
Mick, living the dream.

I knew it was there, I put it there. 😁

I haven't worked for them since May 17 though.

Picked up a nail in the rear tyre of the bike,so instead of doing a bit of riding today I got to sit in the car in bloody traffic with the wheel in the boot. Rat's cocks as McSanta is wont to say.

I haven't had a puncture in years and in 270 miles I've pulled out three bits of road debris so far. I hope that's it. :x

Packed the van with some of spawn senior's stoff and drove from Crawley to Fort William. I'm hoping to get the ferry tomorrow afternoon from Uig, then unload and back down for the next load on Wednesday.
