Watching Total Recall when I really should be going to bed.

We’re on a campsite in Spain and since we’ve been here I keep hearing this strange noise go past but never got to see what it was until just now. A couple of the kids stick s plastic bottle between the frame and the rear wheel to make this really odd rubbing noise?? Haven’t they ever heard of pegs and playing card ffs!

Chuck a stick in the from wheel. Thud, WHAAAAAAA! then silence

Just booked a campsite in Tyndrum for the 28th. I am up at Aviemore for Thunder In The Glen for the 26th and 27th and just know a third night with Harley riders in Chaps will have me wanting to slit my wrists so heading south a day early

Sitting on the sofa in the catsit house slightly miffed. It's not sunny and I definitely can't ride far So much for the big day I'd planned

Gonna go find the warmest clothes I have down here in a bit and head to my mates pasty shop for coffee, sausage in a bun and a cinnamon roll.

If I can't ride somewhere different and have fun, I can go chat with someone awesome and maybe some other cool people and just hope it doesn't rain either way!!

At the moMent I seem to be failing at making Betty Crocker blueberry muffins in my Omnia!

Turned out lovely in the end!

Having a think.

I was going to go out early on the bike but missed that, the car needed servicing so thought I'd crack on before it got too hot failed miserably at avoiding the heat and cooked myself, never mind service is done.

But it brought up that my annual commuting mileage has gone from 25,000 miles pre covid down to 8,000 post covid.
So maybe time to think about a different car, something where MPG isn't the most important factor, no mad rush with 2nd hand prices still through the roof, one for the back burner.

It's raining on the south coast for the first time since June and even then, it wasn't much.

Sitting here looking at the view trying to summon the enthusiasm to get the bike out and go to Lidl!! LOL

A friend is coming for coffee and chat at 11:30 so I thought I'd go to Lidl to do a quick shop and get some stuff for lunch.

It's not a bad little ride but I'm knackered and too many bits ache after all the rushing around a bar last night!!!

Best go though

It’s an Omnia oven, mainly used by campers and hikers etc. Shiite internet here do I can’t link to any videos but they have quite a following like instantpots do.

Aldi, B&M, Go outdoors did sell them. They cost about a tenner and the gas canisters are cheap as chips

Dont go to Go Outdoors as they want 20 quid

That's really interesting, incase I ever go camping again!! LOL Couldn't work out how/why you were baking on a camping gas stove!! Good that it worked

I used one in my micro camper van. Managed to get a meal and use the stove for heating in the awning plus a few cups of tea before the gas ran out. What is the exchange rate like as you have them in France if you were after one

Exchange rate doesn't mean anything to me unless I buy in Sterling!

TBF, I am not a keen camper! I have a jetboil which does all I want to deal with whilst camping!! As long as I can make a tea or coffee in the morning, I can pack up and go to a cafe for real food! But I'm hoping not to have to do much in the way of actual camping anymore!! LOL It's just interesting to see cakes cooked on that sort of stove

Dunno what felix is linking to as this 3rd world crap hole doesn’t have an internet signal! But it’s not the gas cooker with canisters. It’s the thing on top Wichita is a Swedish made Omnia oven, which sits on aforementioned gas cooker. Soz I can’t link as major Spanish cities are internet wankers and I hate them!

Singalong everyone; Spain is shite, Spain is shite, but it’s cheap wine is alright, so some redeeming features!
