I hope there's no paraskevidekatriaphobians here today. If so, pull the duvet over your head and stay there!

😕

push from the other side?

Do you mean climb inside the tyre ?

Morning .
It is grey and windy here .
My tooth repair went well . The young dentist did a good job . It sounded like she used loads of tools on it . Grinder, rasp, sand paper and a final polish .
The meeting with the cardiologist also went well. They think that my niggles earlier in the year were due to high blood pressure and that I should remain on tablets to reduce it . Oh! The monitoring of my aorta is stable and has remained constant . Must be due to a lot of freewheeling !

Friday morning
Looks like another nice day outside
Time to make a brew me thinks

Last night I finished servicing the last of 5 bikes that I have had to service for peeps . I can have a rest now and play with things I want to . The servicing would have been a lot easier if the bikes hadn't been neglected for years .
Some of the money came in handy for buying my last bike , my Viking .

How much is your insurance for bike mechanicing?
Mines not too bad but I'm workshop only no mobile repairing as that's much more expensive.

There's no ferry operating in European waters capable of carrying 100,000 passengers, in a single sailing.
Largest operating, MV Ulysses, in UK waters carries just short of 2,000 per sailing.

This means in effect that all sailings, presumably passenger only will be free. I don't see it happening in my lifetime anyway.
The idea is to boost the economy of the offshore islands tho' that would imply vehicles free as well. Dream on.

Beautiful day by the sea, housework done, washing on and just opened up the office.

Have the old set designers from the 60's Doctor Who series been called back from retirement to design the set for our Eurovision chap?

They look like they are on to a winner !

First cuppa went down well
Still looks nice
Can people keep the A34 clear please

Another damp windy miserable day.
Looking at the ferry terminal webcam there is a long queue of motorhomes, campers and one tugger lined up well before final check in. Probably fleeing as they discover it is not the paradise they thought it would be.
In our own wandering days we often left the west coast and headed east for better weather.

A close relative has died and I really should attend the cremation. Problem is it is in Hamilton at 0900. A truly ungodly hour but the only slot available apparently in an area I am not familiar with. Do not mention satnav.
Twenty years ago I would have bombed down there through Glasgow at peak morning rush hour with no problem.
Now sadly I would not attempt such a journey even outside rush hour.
I would drive to say Aberdeen since I know the road well but strange and congested roads with fast traffic are not my favourite.

Drinking green tea 🍵

I really have no idea what they're doing outside. It sounds like they're sanding the entire outside of the building. A good time for a day away somewhere quieter. I wonder where the sun's shining.

Halfway into work, I realised I wasn't wearing my contact lenses. I wondered why my bike glasses were so smudged.

Luckily, Mrs V brought them to work, whilst dropping off no1 son

 

[Andy in Germany]

My glasses were also a bit mucky this morning.

I've now cleaned them.
