Popular Post Horizondave Posted June 24, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted June 24, 2023 It's funny how 2 walks only 2 days apart can be so different. It was really misty today and at the top of the ridge, on my walk, visibility was down to less than 100 meters at times. Managed the walk, as I do it often, although a tree wanted to stop me, didn't think my back would let me pass but it was OK doing a bit of limbo. Anyhow pics from today and beneath a few from 2 days ago. Still warm but weather so different. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krapow Posted June 24, 2023 Share Posted June 24, 2023 Is there a more recognisable female voice than Chrissy Hynde? Looking forward to Leftfield, and then Guns n Roses. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coxyhog Posted June 25, 2023 Share Posted June 25, 2023 31 deg here so maybe a roast chicken dinner was not so much of a good idea,our oven certainly thought so as it keeps blowing the CB with a big bang. So now the missus is finishing it off in the microwave & frying pan,I'm sure it'll be lovely. Try & get someone to look at it tomorrow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boydeste Posted June 25, 2023 Share Posted June 25, 2023 Been a lazy day catching up with a couple of friends via WA chat on the internet and sorting a few things for a future fishing trip. I have got all of my house windows open as it's 30 plus degrees outside and a nice breeze is blowing through. It's around 1500 now, so it's time to take a shower and go for as long a walk that I can manage in the heat. There is a pub at the end of the rainbow and it's still the weekend! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Horizondave Posted June 25, 2023 Share Posted June 25, 2023 (edited) It's a month till I go to Greece so was just checking the flight departure times for the last 4 days out of Gatwick and it doesn't make good viewing. The snip below shows that I am beginning to worry what time I will turn up at my resort. I don't like Gatwick but that was the schedule, last time I was in Greece two years ago was out of Heathrow and we left on time and arrived early. Of course it may be different on the day but not happy at what I am seeing. Our departure should be 1240 and expected in at 1850, would love to be in my resort (1 hour south of airport) by 2030, let's hope so!

Lizzo's show was superb, but can't compare the 2. And whisper it, i even likes Rick Astley and Blossom doing The Smiths covers ... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maipenrai Posted June 25, 2023 Share Posted June 25, 2023 Just relaxing before I go back to work in three more hours - one more 12hr shift tonight and then I am free for five days. I'm just realizing now how much of my time this night time security job eats up - while we are enjoying fine summer weather, I seem to be spending most of my time working, sleeping and resting up for the next shift and I realize I'm missing a lot of what I used to enjoy doing during our short summers. On the other hand, I do get to work on my own and it has been quite lovely out in the early morning hours, with less wind and so much daylight and so peaceful and quiet compared to our hectic daytime hours. Last night was one of the quietest nights I've spent yet on the job, Saturday night and not one alarm or other call for assistance during the whole shift - such a contrast to the last night of my previous shift on June 19 when an alarm system malfunction had the local fire department running around to twelve different schools over a period of two or three hours and me trying to keep up with it all... 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek Dangleberries Posted June 26, 2023 Share Posted June 26, 2023 I'm just back from a 2 hour walk. I didn't intend to walk that long but my Mont Clair shop wasn't open at 8am so, not wanting to walk home empty handed, I extended my walk to my sato shop! On my way back along Buakhao the only thing of significance was the Family Mart at Hellfire junction is now a TOPS. By the time I got back to the Mont Clair shop it was open so all in all the final 30 minutes was carrying about 10kg in my back pack. Sato/spuds/wine. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's one of the draw backs of using cashless. At least with cash after a heavy night out you could wake up to an empty wallet and realise how much you spent.

Yup, an advantage of cashless me thinks, although I throw the coins in a tub and pay for any take aways out of it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
