Re: A right now thread
Sitting in an hotel reception messing about on the internet! And doing some stuff I should have done last week but was a bit over stressed!! LOL
I had a mad moment when I thought I'd left my book of notes at home - disaster. But I just found it, so will stop messing online soon and get to some revision!!
(The tables in reception are way bigger than the little corner-space desk in the room! LOL)

A 16 minute wait, that's terrible. There should be laws against torments like this.Yorick wrote: Mon Nov 04, 2024 1:20 pm Stuck at Sevilla airport

Nobody is expecting the airlines to do anything special.
The insurance will be paying for this. I'd much rather go home.
I'm not playing down the tragedies.

I've bitten the bullet and got lucky. There's a direct flight home tonight and Pen's booked me on that. Rare direct flights
Had to pay as Vueling wouldn't let me transfer my existing flight to Gran Canaria
I'll be home this evening

Re: A right now thread
Sat in an Irish bar... In Marrakesh.
I've had the most crazy taxi ride ever, I've never filtered in a Renault before. Almost been run over a dozen times, on pedestrian crossings. Seen a million cats, the first two outside the airport.
I've only been here two hours.

Re: A right now thread
I've just hauled myself out of bed and made it to the settee, thanks to a particularly shitty cold that meant I couldn't sleep.
The cold hasn't floored me, but the lack of sleep did.
Will log on to check work briefly shortly, then resume my rotting position here.

Re: A right now thread
Currently sitting in a boulangerie having stopped halfway from Aix les Bains to Bourg cos I couldn’t feel my hands anymore!! A restorative coffee and a dodgy bit of something vaguely like pizza that wasn’t as hot as I needed it to be and I few half human again (pretty normal TBF!!)
I do so very much need to invest in good cold weather gear and the first is winter gloves!! I’ve always avoided them as I have little hands and short fingers so gloves are a bastard to find. But for winter riding - it’s a must !


Setting off again in a mo - but the sun is up over the mountains now and the mist has lifted. Should be quite nice!

Trying to get all the stuff in the greater proportion of the house into the smaller portion so the new floor tiles can be laid. That's the kitchen, utility room, front porch and living area into three other rooms that are also in use.

A couple of B52s just flew over en route to Fairford.
Surprisingly quiet for 8 engines and no con trails, obviously euro5
