Had a great Monday night. Sauntered down the road to meet a mate for a Burrito. Strolled down 15 mins into town to watch Stewart Lee. Had a good laugh. Strolled back home. In bed for 10:15.
Ideal.

Being short of daily content to keep the French female fans happy. Then improvising with some garlic I brought back. I guess they like garlic too.

Nipped in this morning for £10k of Euros to go towards the new roof. Passable timing, even if it is a rubbish graph (see Y axis).

Watching the locals cycling to school even though it is raining.
Not only cheers me up but gives me a little hope for the future.

Effecting a passable repair on a club jersey torn by a close encounter with a hedge, so at least it's usable, hopefully without too much teasing from riding friends. Well, there would have been more teasing had I left it unrepaired, with my right nipple being perfectly framed by the hole. I think you have to pay extra for jerseys like that.

Save it for your French fan club.

Watching whitemanvan get stuck on a tight 16% hairpin. Said he didn't know what to do as I passed.
Childish, I know.

Had to look it up. My first thought was it didn't look real and was a photo of a model village somewhere. I then wondered if it might be a fake village built by the military like the FIBUA German village on Sennybridge. Would never have guessed its actual location.

Road makes me think of North America. The tower could be misleading.

Based purely on the chimneys and some of the roofs . . . Portugal?

Two car things this morning:
My 21-year-old Almera sailing through its MOT
And my Reginald Molehusband skills not having left me yet. I only touched the rear bumper gently once.

Yeah those smaller older cars have such a tight turning circle.
Definitely found it harder to get into those tiny tiny spaces with my golf - turning circle is nowhere near as tight.

Suits me nicely that not only modern cars are bigger & rubbisher at getting into tight parking spaces, but also that people are generally rubbish at getting into tight spaces anyway. The Almera is probably the longest car I've owned, but it still looks tiny compared with most modern cars.

I'd have failed you on a missing hub cap.

I created a school club. Fully outsourced, so no ongoing effort required from me. Nonetheless, I got a warm rosy feeling when 20 kids and parents turned up this morning to it.

Nope.
It is... You'll have to wait.

It's nice when anything one sets up not knowing how many will turn up hits the target... it's even better when it's children and you see them enjoying it.

Your definition of quick game is different to mine. 😉
I got fed up waiting so found the answer. It is indeed surprising!

Got a call from South East Water this afternoon. They wanted to know if we had changed our water usage pattern in the last 6 months as the last reading taken 2 weeks ago looked 'a bit low': I mentioned my kid was back at uni more and asked how low: they said according to the meter readings we've only used 1 cubic metre in the last 6 months. Clearly impossibly low so unless they over-read it last time, we agreed that the meter is probably knackered and they'll send someone round to check and maybe replace it. When asked what happens about the bill if the meter isn't working properly, they said it's on them as they can only go on the readings. so £200 refund and a reduced monthly direct debit headed my way 😊

Had similar when our gas meter went kaput for 3 months between reporting and replacement. Was worried as it was beginning of November to end of January. No charge.
Free gas central heating throughout winter. Now, there’s a Brucie bonus! 😀😎

That would have been worth a few quid. Would have been even more if you hadn't 'noticed' it 😇
