Barcelona for 4 days.

Loved Barcelona when we went. Great place. Except they decided to declare independence whilst we were there.

Whilst I am not a devout religious person, the Sagrada Familia is worth the visit as a piece of architecture. Quite stunning. Worth booking in advance if it’s of interest.

Went to Basingstoke to do some Christmas shopping. Jeez bought so much but we are left with only a couple of people now. I've also picked up some new hoodies and some trackies just for lazy time and the can't be arsed times!

Spent the day wondering why lorry drivers can be so thick and drive their high siders in this bloody wind....

Yeah the muppets. I had to keep swerving to avoid them on my bike, as the wind kept blowing me towards them.

doing night 1 of 21 night shifts... it has been awhile, this is going to hurt

[D41]

Ouch! I winced just reading that.

[Cav]

This is the thing I will struggle with the most :s

Its OK D41, they are only 12.5 hr shifts with emergency exercise drills every sunday morning after my shift finishes.....

To be fair, after night 2 it's just like being on days although sleep quality is never as good. It's coming off nights at the end that hurts the most.

2 or 3 days to get yourself back to normal? I presume the 5 weeks off follows nights?

Normally yeah 5 weeks after nights but this swing I was supposed to be on days but have been swapped to nights due to staff shortfalls. So only 4 weeks off and I’ll still do nights next swing.

I deem I’m back to normal when I can sleep past 6am and have a morning dump. With prescription melatonin it takes me about 3 days. Without was taking me 5-6 days.

Good luck Kiwi, it's been a while, hope it goes steadily for you

Today sorted out all.my motorcycle gear and cupboard. Jeez over the years I've just binged loads of sh&t in there without realising its sh;t lol. One full back bag of scrap and another of motorcycle gear that I dont use/ shrunk (whoops!). But cupboard looking good now. Now need new slightly bigger gear

Also took a look at quotes for car tyres

Quick fit wanted £600 for 4 tyres, popped down to Costco and they wanted £370 for the same tyres - fine with me! Just need to save the dosh now!

Been out with my brother for his birthday. A couple of beers and a bucket of chicken wings

[Cav]

How's he doing mate?

[C00kiemonster]

Having a lie in with my hounds. I stayed up for most of the results, so an easy day today and starting to plan our life with Brexit in it.

[Kwacky]

How's he doing mate?

He good, thanks for asking. He's still having therapy but his therapist reckons he's about 90% of the way there. His medication has been dropped to the minimum amount. He's very busy with work and generally enjoying life.

[Cav]

That's brilliant! Good on him

[kiwikrasher]

Woke up this arvo to start my night shift and phone went mad with messages from home. It’s turned to shite with the fires and I’ve go burnt leaves falling in my yard. A fire front with 50-70m flames is 12 km directly west and we have 10-15 km westerly winds. 8 km up the road to the west is under ember attack now.

Work is flying me home tomorrow but it might not be early enough.

[Kwacky]

Ah crap. I hope it's all good mate.
