Still in the same field, stunning cider again (I have had a break honest) listening to some great music, and it's only set to get better.

Sitting in a very quiet house feeling a bit meh.

Byron is off at school and I just loaded Jorja onto the coach with all her class as they head off for her first school camp. She was very excited and is so independent and capable I know she’ll have a ball, but the papa bear in me is still a little anxious.

To make things worse I fly out tomorrow to head to work so won’t be here when she gets back. Would’ve been nice to give her a big hug and make sure she’s in one piece. I’ll hopefully get a chance to chat to her over the phone the night she gets back.

So about to do the mad Monday house clean prior to heading off. Take Byron back to his mums this evening and lock the house up for my work trip. Luckily only a week for this and my next trip, so should be well manageable.

One silver lining is the ex is going to cop all the clothes washing from camp Wednesday night

Sat in the car.

Waiting.


My son is doing his 11+ entrance exams as we speak.

Can't do anything apart from twiddle my thumbs and pick him up once he's finished.
And if this isn't a hectic enough day for him we've then got to drive him down to Arthog in Wales so he can meet up with the rest of his school year at their residential trip.

He'll get a McDonald's out of it. I'll get a 4 hour round trip!

And a McDonald's.

Good luck

I thought it already had an MOT?

Haha I had to think for a while there, you know your sarcasm is advanced when people struggle to keep up

Had an absolute riot. Still the best bike I've ridden which I'm sure the 911 GT3 owner who briefly wanted to drive with me will no doubt testify

This chap ?
Would bother Duke he said I've got a pass as I ride the correctly coloured motorcycle

Had to sneak the old Honda in today

Looks like he left his post to go and give the scullery maid a good seeing to again.

I have told him off about that before....he knows Monday is my turn.

Sitting in the Qantas lounge waiting to fly to Darwin!!! 14 months since I last did this.

Yesterday took the drive over to Wales. Popped along one of Top Gears favourite roads the B4560, beautiful views, beautiful roads, really love Wales for this. Then randomly found a cafe so we stopped off and had a Bacon and Sausage baguette each, which was proper good BTW. Got to the campsite found out caravan which we will call home for the next 5 days. Popped by Aberystwyth to go to morrisons for a small food shop. Got home had showers and relaxed

Today we are off to Ellan Valley and Devils Bridge to take the dog for a nice walk and hopefully some great pics

Here are some pics from yesterdays drive up

Honestly best bike I've ridden. Says alot as it's nearly a 20 year old design but still fun and exciting to ride and can shift.

Makes fast too effortless. At naughty speeds the Pani feels naughty on the Honda naughty speed feels effortless and cruising. The only area it lacks to modern machinery is acceleration.

Just caught up with a bunch of the blokes in Darwin and drank far too much cider, had to pull stumps so I can pass the breathalyser at the heli pad tomorrow

Just sold my little off road bike... now officially bike less .. I do have the option to borrow as there are 3 in the garage but I think my days of 2 wheels are over

Fell off a wall the other night and right damaged my ankle and still no sign of it healing ... I think my confidence has gone and self preservation well and truly set in

I've had so much fun for many, many years and thankfully only 2 offs and one mortally embarrassing one on gravel and trying every style available it's time to hang the Sidi's up for good

A few good tours around Europe and some great rally's and so many memories .

Been for a double MRI scan.

Nearly an hour in there and disappointed to come out as weirdly I find them so relaxing which is weird as there quite noisey, confined spaces.
