Decided to sit in my camper to get away from drilling noise. Having a look around and found these in the cupboard! That’s lunch sorted!!

My mate from school is replacing our bathroom. I just heard him on the phone with a prospective customer saying his next available date is late April next year! He never advertises, only works from recommendations. Isn't that brilliant!

This does NOT qualify you as an All-Weather Biker. Put the 'FWB' badge on this instant.Taipan wrote: Fri Nov 11, 2022 1:21 pm Rode my MT09 today!Okay, it was only down the driveway from the back garden to the front, but its a start!

You don't have winter.
You get an all year badge.

Re: Insignificant Things That Make You Happy.
Getting home. Yesterday went over to Gran Canaria, on east coast. Horrible place. Taxi took us a few miles on 3 lane motorway. Miles and miles of stationary traffic in other direction. Like M25. Everywhere busy and dirty .
No "island feeling" at at.
Glad to get home last night. This morning I had to queue behind 2 cars. Total gridlock
I like quiet

Re: Insignificant Things That Make You Happy.
Keep the noise down...
For me, it's the smug satisfaction of having said, a few months ago when asked to facilitate something, 'Yes, my team can do this, but the process is shit, archaic and far too manual. We need a system and process fit for purpose and fit for the bloody 21st century otherwise, I can say with certainty, that there will be documents sent to the wrong parties'.
And then having to report two data breaches in as many weeks.
Not sayin' 'I told ya so', but...I told ya so!
(And I have it in writing.

Re: Insignificant Things That Make You Happy.
Sat at work (I know, right, I work!!!) and randomly, one of my most favourite people in resort come into the office!!
First hug of the season!
I do so love living here, but at the start of each season it's just SOOOO good to see great friends that you've not seen for 6 months. Still grinning, and looking forward to heading to his cafe to inflict some more (slightly better) French on him!!
