Yep a big one !

His Lordship was reclining in the bath, when he was surprised by his man-servant, Lottle, carrying a hot water bottle. "What on earth are you doing with that, Lottle?"

"Well, your Lordship, I was in the room directly below the bathroom when I distinctly heard you call out 'gotta hot water bottle Lottle', a couple of times".

This is where we have been for the past week . We visited different parts of the island over several days and managed to cover most of the coast. It has been a long time since our first visit by coach in 1976.

I went to the movies, and saw Oceans Eight. Good enough for a caper film.

I rushed out and bought a box spanner to undo the back-nuts on a bath tap I had to replace. It saved me from even more hours of cursing and sweating. A fantastic investment. Every home should have one.

Size?

Size?

27mm and 32mm A/F. That's usually good for 1/2" and 3/4" BSP tap back-nuts. It came with a tommy bar too. You could pick one up on eBay for less than three quid, but I'd been lying on the bathroom floor for hours and got fed up. Screwfix do them for £8.49, or something.

Normal service resumed.

Since last posting, I have acquired a new jersey, new shorts and 2.1 kg of peanut butter on yellow sticker.

I've got the number of unread emails down to 6. I can now sleep peacefully.

Morning ! Did the earth move for you ?

An earthquake centred around Grimsby last night .

The weather here is grey and a bit misty, but quite warm .

I think I am recovering from our holiday. I don't think I have done as much walking for a long time .
It was nice to see so many relaxed friendly people and have a chat with them . Life on the island seemed to be at a much slower pace to that on the " Big Island " as they call it .

I had a massive thunderstorm yesterday, which ended just as I started work, (which is outside and mainly on a bicycle Saturdays). A friend of mine gave me an old, rusty Follis 072 frame he had gotten for the Stronglight crankset, and I took Mrs. GA to the movies. Today is starting out with thunderstorms as well. We has 1/4 inch of rain yesterday morning, and another 1/2 inch of rain overnight.

Quiet day curled up in front of the TV watching the BTCC meeting from Oulton Park.

No bread left?

Well, I did get a large bag of tiger rolls on YS as well. The whole bag was marked down to 3p, but the barcode wouldn't scan, so the store manager said I could have them for free.

Look what I found at my local.
