Booked tickets for tomorrow to see the latest Indiana Jones film. Feel I should take ibuprofen on Harrison Fords behalf

It's the usual bell curve way of designing. Make the machine work at it's optimum while covering the largest number of people. The coils have to be close to the person to produce a clear image. He'll probably end up having a CT instead. Shame.

Mr Slowly is on his way back from his MRI right now. They couldn't do it cos his shoulders are too wide to fit in the machine

Morning Nice to wake up in my own bed. The trip back was fairly knackering so I shall mostly be doing f’all!

Stop for photo's in this heat

Riding back to Blighty. In the sun the temp topped out at 50c on the motorway yesterday.. today 56c Genuinely wondered if my legs were melting More of the same tomoz

Fuckin A One of the best shots I've seen on here and that's saying something. Frame worthy. Put in on redbubble or the like, retire a millionaire.. on the 0.03 gpb you'll get paid.. ok maybe not, but great pic anyway!

Damn right. Spain are looking into loopholes to allow Brit law free movement again. It’s costing them money. But you know, sour grapes last a long time so doubt anything will happen anytime soon. Especially with the UKs amazing trade negotiation skills.. not

There are ways around it. Not nice easy freedom of movement European solutions but it’s still possible same as it’s always been with any other non European country. @boboneleg no rule bending needed. Apart from 6 months of the year being more than enough for me at the mo even if I was the that way inclined getting caught is definitely not worth it.

Wot BSA? I don’t own a BSA, r u mad.. madder than usual?

Devastated more like, offered to put me touch with a dodgy dude for a Spanish passport. Although that could be to ensure I'm caught and permanently deported

Very sad. And now everyone even in the staunch pro Brexit areas wants closer ties with Europe. Twats.

My shengen area app calculator says I can stay 33 more days straight before breaching the 180 rule. It shoots back up to 90 days 1st of Oct I’ve totted up my visits since last October and I have done 101 days this time. I’m pretty pleased with that. I thought the flat buying was going to interfere and it has a lot but I managed more than I thought I would.

Oh god not the B word and I don’t mean bullshit Thats the point of “content you like” Ive spent an hour today watching that tosspot Dobbs cos you posted a YouTube vid of him. What a waste of an hour

Tbh I enjoy it. I also enjoy when at home in the uk and things get fraught saying “let’s go Spanish on it” and Mr Slowly will just shrug and say alright then and everything chills out. Being here reminds you can stay laid back at home too. Only downside is everyone else seems so feckin uptight

What you needed was good connectivity, something like the internet where you can find the resources you like My father in-law confidently announced the internet would never catch on Now he streams all sorts of content providers and orders everything online!

Do they? Cos nothing else much gets done around here for the other 10 months either

Fancy that. Young people not wanting to listen to old farts. Never happened before

They still haven’t opened the bloody pool, everyone agreed it would open beginning of June and close end of September but it’s Spain so the maintenance guys just went - you residents can agree whatever you like and we will continue to do whatever we like. I have a grudging respect for that attitude

Yer I was on Thursday but that changed and we leave on Monday. I’m actually looking forward to it which will be the kiss of death won’t it

Yer and probably saying things were better in the old days

Over a thousand miles is a bit of hike, might be a bit cold by the time he got here

Cool, let’s see it.

I nearly mentioned oldy Worldy mags but let’s face it they’re crap. You wait an age for a bike you’re interested in to appear and get one persons take on it which is always skewed because bike journos don’t trash talk bikes. I’m 50 Pete I remember the crap old analogue world very well, I grew up it it. Without the new world you wouldn’t have the life you have. You literally work and live online. The reality of ageing before the internet was social isolation and depression. I used to see it all the time. Depressed old people.. exhausting energy vampires who would cry at the drop of hat because you simply gave them some time and listened to them. Now mostly they can see what their children and grandchildren are doing, they stay connected and feel part of their families lives. I can guarantee you the much better world you used to live in would be shitting all over you in old age.

Yotams Sunday lunch chicken (white wine, garlic, black garlic, lemon, double cream and capers) with butter garlic mushrooms, cooked separately and added at the end so they retain a strong independent garlic butter flavour. And Mary Berry’s Lemon Curd roulade, the homemade lemon curd is amazing using Spains gorgeously zingy lemons. Renamed it Meringasaurus as the eggs were super sized and puffed up to a giant 40 x 30 cm slab, rolled nicely though.
