I mean, look at that swing. Poetry in motion, effortless and goes a country mile. https://youtube.com/shorts/_h5fL_KCaBs?feature=share

Not on a Monday, weekday golf is for poofs and amateurs. Only us professionals can play at the weekend.

That’s a bit technical for him, any chance you could come with a more straightforward explanation?

Great photos @boboneleg

Too fast in the backswing and he lifted his head. Plus he’s a fat twat and lost his balance.

Great tyres, used them on everything from a KTM990 Adventure, XR650L, Himalayan right down to a little WR250F.

I’m in touch with my closet hooligan. Smashing the fuck outta something for a few hours…….very satisfying

No mate, we flash our card at Emergencias or wherever we’re directed to go and that’s it. If we need an ambulance there’s a number to call. If there’s an ongoing illness then we’re covered for any emergency care to get things under control but if further medical care is needed beyond that then it’s down to us. Its not perfect but it’s very fast and okay for now.

It costs us €187 for both of us and despite the fact that I’m older her part of the premium is more than mine as she has chronic asthma. It goes up slightly each year but only by a couple of euros. If we went onto the Conveno Especial right now it would cost us about €130-140 a month and even though the state system is good if we need to see a doctor through the private health scheme it’s the same day, there’s no waiting. Peace of mind in case the shit hits the fan.

So, my day today had been quite uneventful until I heard about the death of someone I’ve known since we arrived in Spain. He was a gardener that plied his trade locally and always did a great job for a very reasonable hourly charge. We’ve used him all the time over the years, especially for larger jobs or when I just couldn’t be arsed. I honestly haven’t met a nicer, more genuine bloke. Never complained, worked when others would’ve given up and never seemed to have a bad word for anyone. I wouldn’t class him as a mate as such but it was always nice to pass the time of day and share a joke. He always planned to retire ‘next year’ and now it’s too fucking late. I’m not particularly religious but I have to question how it’s fair that someone like him should be taken when I bet there are people we all know who wouldn’t be missed. I can think of one. Anyway, tomorrow’s another day.

Ah right, we had to take private health care and so far it’s been worth it. Until I reach the pensionable age we’ll stick with it, then there’s an option of joining (at least I think there is?)

Are you on the National state system?

You can but you need to wait for September

Lovely part of the world.

Definitely mate, the missus is out leaving me in charge of the household duties so the aircon is on and I’m hoovering in my thong.

Their postman was very tall apparently.

He’s not a snappy dresser is he

It was a test. You passed. Well done. Now fuck off and go bother some locals.

Whereabouts are you mate?

Just gone 10am and now topping just over 34 Celsius. It’s going to be a hot one that’s for sure @XTreme!………predicted to hit the low forties this week.

Well it’s 32.8 here in the shade this morning and it’s only 0930.
