Nice trike run this morning up the Bonawe road then the Moss Road to the A828 junction. Trick here is to wait until the traffic from the lights at Connel Bridge has gone past and then half a mile down to the cyclepath.This takes me back through the caravan site and past the airfield on to the original road north which is now the cyclepath to the area know as Lora View for a look around before heading back to base.

Sitting in the sunshine outside ambulances, police cars and a fire engine all blasting east through Connel Ferry village on the other side of the loch. Seems to be an incident at Pass of Brander with an air ambulance on the roadway.
Being a weekend traffic is worse than usual but I avoided it by taking minor roads this morning.

Nice lunch of a prawn cocktail sandwich, two and half a punnet of strawberries.

Worst thing the Consevatives ever did was privatise 'The Royal Mail'

I could think of a few other things, but will avoid sullying this thread.

Went shopping, my goodness but it's hot outside. Basement flats have disadvantages but in this weather one advantage becomes very obvious.

I was wondering if after it was sold at auction that it might get lost in the post again !

Almost forgot in the excitement: I also bought a bag of salt and vinegar crisps. It took some serious digging to find, mind you...

Have reassembled the butler's tray that disassembled itself when the parental unit tried to move it.

The wood glue I had was all dried up, so ended up drilling a few pilot holes and then using fine upholstery pins to hold all the pieces together. I have several kilos of the pins lurking in the garage after all...

Now watching the Hundred and doing a bit of writing.

Well, we're out of the relegation zone now, as both Crystal Palace and Villa are losing 3-0...

Yep I used to love going into those Derbyshire pubs with 2 foot thick stone walls on a hot day

This is one of your posts that I find absolutely fascinating but haven't a clue what they mean. It's a bit like listening to the shipping forecast.

Villa got 2 back so you're back in the zone. If Liverpool are in ruthless form, you have a chance of piggy-backing out on top of Norwich. Leeds' position at the foot looks fairly secure.

Good question , there is a French institution called IFFSTAR which researches everything from recycling road materials to combining epoxy resins with conventional road materials specifically for high temperature conditions. I must admit that although l live in SW France l have never experienced sticky road surfaces even in current conditions so they must be having some success

Yes this was the South of France. My tinnitus was so bad that other people could hear it !

I don`t know if this is your business or you are an employee but what I will say is that no matter what is happening at work the sun will still rise tomorrow and things will change. Yes, the business may well go, but that has happened before and will continue to do so. New businesses will come too. I`m retired now but I realised a long time ago that work is not something to get stressed over. Most people are still just a number on the payroll. You won`t get any thanks or extra pay for fretting about the business.
The only thing you should worry about is yourself and your family. You lose your job? You`ll find another. You don`t get as much pay? You`ll learn to manage on what you get.
It may sound brutal but believe me, family and health is far more important than any business! Take care, forget work, enjoy life

Spot on.
