I almost fainted !

Should I get the smelling salts?

Another day out in the countryside on the bike. One of my favourite things.

Quite cold here this morning and a little damp.

I'm considering going to a steam rally to play with some big boys toys

We did a similar thing years ago but diesel hauled. I think the train started off at Exeter, we got on at Bristol . The train went through Newport up through Wales and up to Glasgow and on to a place beginning with D. It's where Jackie Stewart is from . We stayed in a Hotel/ Hospital. The next day we set off by train to Oban and a ferry to Mull where we split in to 2 groups to see different things , some people opted for a whisky distillery. We returned late in the evening to the hotel . The next day there were 2 options , a coach trip down the West coast or a train ride to Stranraer. We opted for the coach trip to Culzean Castle . The next day we returned home past the Lake District. It was Easter and we were all given cream eggs. We got on with most people . There was just a pair who got on our nerves !

Near Dumbarton where the family had a garage and filling station at Dumbuck on the edge of Milton village. I lived near there for 14 years at Bowling.

If I feel like I am becoming too happy . I find that just one episode of Country File will restore that sense of gloom in an instant !

I wonder if the presenters have to undergo training by walking around the streets with a sandwich board proclaiming ,"The End of the World is Nigh!

Sunny morning and getting warm with the sun shining in my front windows. Need to give myself a kick to get out on the trike early before the crowds start to head out.

It's funny how work can be set up to either make people totally bored or encouraged. I've worked in a few places and found one to be fun and another I couldn't wait to leave !

Part of my job has been making sure even repetitive or simple jobs can be fulfilling and interesting. I find this one of the most fascinating aspects of work, but it does mean that while my clients are relaxed folding laundry or sorting donated items, I'm having to constantly observe and think on my feet, try stuff, get it wrong, apologise and try again...

Go for it

I did Just 23 miles at a lovely relaxed pace on the hybrid and ended up really enjoying it.

I used to be an avid snooker viewer but I lost interest and haven't watched in a good few years.

Maybe try again: the game should be nearly finished by now.

I went and looked at an apartment yesterday. It was in a good location but turned out to be a holiday let, a tiny en-suite with shared kitchen. The sort of thing that would be a fine for an engineer or businessman to use as a base on workdays for a couple of months, but not for three years.

Apart from that, I'm working all day with often quite difficult people, negotiating and working around them. in the evening I don't want to be doing that any more...

I sometimes think I'm on my feet when in actual fact I'm laying down !
