So much so we’ve lived off Asda sandwiches for about 4 days but starting to feel a bit better now.

Chicken casserole in the oven.

Was at your local ASDA on Friday. Wife wanted chips out McDonalds so we drove into the almost full carpark. I was waiting in the van and just watching the amount of people coming out with large bundles of food and getting into cars packed with kids. As this was around 4:30 ill presume that is the kids tea. Dont folk cook proper food in your town no more

Dropped below 21c in the villa, so fired up the BBQ/bonfire.

A few of us here and it's currently this temp outside with the new wind proof stuff

Lanzarote earlier...



Southend Pier this afternoon...

Where's the best shandy?

WFH today and I'm watching Bargain Loving Brits in the Sun. A couple are in Benidorm and have gone out for the day with a 50 Euro budget. She spies a restaurant and says. "This place looks nice". He replies, "Nah its got table cloths, it'll be too pricey for us"! Top tip!

Just got off a call discussing fire compliance on tube train seats - I need a lay down now......

Yup. Mine has one of those. It's so you can open the door when there's no power I think.

Ta guys, just looked and sadly not. I should be ok to try and slide it forward in a day or so then I can open it up and reach in, I hope!!
My other pants may need another wash as they will have sat in the machine for a couple of days.

Finally starting to feel 100% again. Had some kind of virus for the last 2 weeks, proper knocked me back.

But right now watching Peppa pig with a cup of tea

At the Land Rover dealership Having a coffee, whose name I can’t pronounce, whilst my car is being finished off in the valeting bay! Which is handy as I was going to clean it later!

Sat in a pub half full of red shirts and half black n white

I found they regularly tried to over charge, that coffee can be expensive.
