I was genuinely wondering what the end of that sentence was going to be

Just don’t mention the hernia..

Ultracrepidarian - Of one who speaks or offers opinions on matters beyond their knowledge. Like someone who comments on a something they haven’t even watched perhaps?!

True. They are the same here as in Spain it’s on you to make the sale happen, they generally don’t give a monkeys. One guy I know who works in a dealers said they get so many time wasters with no intention of buying a bike they do as little as possible because “if someone wants the bike they’ll come in and buy it” The salesman I bought the BSA from couldn’t be arsed to speak to me or answer my questions, he just shrugged a lot, then when he discovered I had one on order and it would be sold by them he completely changed into the most helpful person in the world!

Oops. Mr Slowly just said goodbye and announced we are having takeaway this evening as a reward for standing in a quagmire pulling pints, I hope it’s not fish and chips

Which era’s test the one they do now or the old one where you rode around the block and the examiner stood on the side of the road waiting for you to return?

Feel like I’m doing something bad ordering food for just myself, I’ve never done this before, it’s… great the order has been placed. Cod, chips, mushy peas, curry sauce and tartare sauce. The curry sauce they do isn’t the bog standard, it’s very very good I bet someone comes home and I get caught

It’s the Harvest Home today and it’s absolutely hammering down. This means all the milling around and activities outside the marquee will be a washout and everyone will be crammed into the soggy floored bar area getting pie eyed even earlier than usual. The rugby club run the bar and Mr Slowly will be there all day. I’m trying not to pretend I find that very funny. Tis especially sweet as the boys are off sugar soaping and prepping the walls for painting so I’ll have the house to myself and intend to totally waste my day I’m considering ordering fish and chips just for me

You drugged her, how else is she going to sleep through motorcycling Tourette’s.

Well that explains why they didn’t bother getting back to you. The bikes came in, people turned up sharpish and they sold like hot cakes. You might have to up your game.

Yer it taste better than it looked (not hard) but I wouldn’t bother with that one again.

Not sure but whatever it is it will be the best bike he’s ever owned, completely reliable because of the dangerous motorcycling he does in Spain and why anyone would want anything else is beyond him

I want to say and at that post! Your poor whopped wallet and that you’re lucky to have good family. They always say enjoy it while it lasts, as I get older the more that becomes a very sensible statement

So far the breakfast of sausage n beans with mushroom omelette, the seafood boil and the cheesecake have been good, worth looking forward to eating. The meatballs in gravy, no, not awful but not something I’d look forward to so that’s out. This one ‘Bodged Fajita’s’ is a definite yes. Again small amount of ingredients so it’s easy to carry and make and there‘s less waste. Missing from the pic ‘el paso’ fajita seasoning and sour cream, sour cream is not widely available in Spain, however they do have creme fraiche and there will without a doubt be beautiful lemons to sour it. I did two versions one with already cooked Swedish meatballs because I was concerned about the chicken version solidifying into one lump. I needn’t of worried they both had to be broken up minimally after cooking in the kettle for 40 mins at 95 degrees. Missing from pic the ‘El Paso fajita’ mix Forgot to mention a hefty chunk of butter went in The meatball version, the meatballs were quartered before cooking. The chicken version, released a lot more liquid but was somehow still just as good flavour wise. Happy with that because spring onion, peppers and chicken are available everywhere and it was extremely easy to put together as well as being food to look forward to. The tasting panel wolfed 12 tortillas worth in a very short time leaving the bowls empty and gave both the meatball version and the chicken version a big thumbs up.

Had a lovely ride back from Clevedon Motorcycles. It really made up for the crappy bickering the boys were doing. The motorway looked busy on the way up so I came back on A and B roads. Got a bit of the devil about me on the the A370 as some guy was keen to catch up and then hung off my back wheel in an annoying fashion. I thought I wonder if I can lose him on a Himalayan? It’s obviously a slow bike but I have the advantage of being in front and if I ring it’s neck I think I might.. no don’t be stupid.. wait.. what’s happening.. my arm has been possessed.. stop twisting the throttle… mwahahaaaaaaa

Just trying to envisage it with a hulking great top box… mmm… yep.. there it is

Either helping the boys with the decorating or murdering the pair of them. It’s 50/50 at the moment

Dipped out of helping the boys do the decorating today as they started bickering hard over where to put an armchair and totally pissed me off. So I’m going to pick up the Himalayan and go for a spin before tomorrow’s atrocious weather arrives and drop off a birthday prezzie for a friend who’s 80 today.

I bought somewhere nice I can sell easily if I need to

Probably for most of the tosspots who live there

No way Pete, the Honda is the best most reliable fantastic definitely not boring jack of all bike in the world and everyone should get one.

Apartment bought and keys collected. Love the place. Had a la-di-da G&T and a slice of Victoria sponge to celebrate. Now back home to have a good glass of the best apple juice in the land. I loved the gates into the basement parking, usually a horrible neglected area but this was real batcave stuff Posted this last one because wtf is it? BMW boy racer?! Tomorrow I take the tradesmen’s entrance (yes there really is one ) and start the decorating
