Jess had a couple of days off midweek (due to being rostered on every weekend for the next 3 months) so with a beautiful warm day we did a hike in the Blue Mountains down to a secluded swimming hole. Gorgeous spot and the water temp was bang on! ...

I had a lovely couple of days annual leave this week, spending as much time as possible with my Son but also making the most of him being at pre-school yesterday with a mountain bike ride.

Good luck! I've donated.. I can't imagine being homeless.

... due to the route the owners wanted to go, so much so the owners changed course... never seen such happy dogs lol. And one sulking about his ball being in the river, Owner almost falling in getting it... Again dog very happy lmao.... funny to watch for sure.

Good luck dude!! I'm getting ¾ of job interest coming from contract at the minute with most of those being inside IR35. I'm swaying away from them currently but they are appealing for sure given the increase salary. Cheers chaps. Just remember with the contract setup there ...

A Falafel wrap.

Not on purpose. 4 hrs sleep after being up for 30 hrs caused a not so observant 5am airport breakfast purchase.

Yup.. home insurance rocketed for us too.

What really takes the piss is that my Dad pays less for all his insurances despite everything being much higher value... £90k car, £350k house, etc, etc. Even his energy bills are less. When you have money, everything is cheaper.

It's across the board. The insurance companies didn't make enough money last year. They need to increase their net worth to cover potential losses, so pretty much all insurance is going up. It's being pushed by the re-insurers, the companies who back the insurance companies.

... couple of movies in a side room while parents could unwind and laugh with similar age humans. All in all it was a success with a few hundred pound being raised for the two charities we supported for the last 2 years.

... like fun. no, it wasn't at all :D Though it was satisfying getting through some technical issues and re-establishing normal power, and then also being the person that brought on the main HVAC again (Utilities Tech was busy bunkering diesel to keep the place running) I lost just shy of 2 kg in ...

....That came up a few years ago. I remember someone posting about it at the time.

... was the Monthly Triumph Rat run today, chilly and wet, so I took the beemer, spend bloody ages cleaning the 765 and the rear is a little close to being done, so it stayed wrapped up... I didnt want to get it dirty so soon lol. Had a really good day on dry roads, wets roads, floods... and a bit ...

... which was the only branch of any bank in my local area. Thinking about the new one, I chose a spec which didn't exist in the UK stock so it's being built this week and I will get an update when they know more.

I think it's because the local Facebook group complained last year about the kids from social housing being absolute shits

I'm in the office today. There's lots of work being done to reduce our working space from 3 wings of the building down to 1. It looks like they've accepted there's no chance of people returning to full time office life.

... bike, kiwi? Nah not yet. I got mucked about by a FB seller of a carbon Norco and just had a rest from looking. Jess started making noises about me being a bit silly getting back into MTB post spinal fusion. So the last two months I’ve been banging on about doing a paramotoring course and flying ...
