Proper farmyard with ankle deep shit.

Judging from his vids he makes much more money from tour leading. I imagine there is a fair bit of burnout in his previous job.
-
That's interesting to know, I have always liked the look of them but never been near riding one.
-
Nah fraid not its one of Trinity House's finest.
-
I have seen it and don't believe it is feasible in the short term. Gone are the days when troops were given 6 weeks basic training given a rifle and sent out to conflict. I think if the unthinkable were to happen it would be all about air power. Something Russia has scant resources in. These messages are more about preparing the population for NATO conflict, softening us all up for acceptance of what is to come. Grim either way you look at it.

Just found out from the Harbour Master that it is listed as restricted mobility as it is in the process of repairing the light on the Cannis Rock warning bouy. Learn't something new today.
-
Not that dramatic really but a bouy laying vessel on the way to Cannes is out in the bay and my app reckons it has restricted mobility whatever that means. Ship is the Galatea from Swansea. Lovely morning nonetheless, chilly and muddy in places but still good to be out there

It was true in my case, I took a form to my employer who filled in what I lost per hour and the court paid me exactly that. in fact I came out on top as my employer put down my gross per hour gross not net so I had a weeks money without any deductions. As I already have said my case was back in the 80's so things may have changed.

Did go for a walk this morning too. Boring skies but pleasant enough.
-
Had to run a couple of errands this morning, bloody lovely going out on dry roads. What I did took an hour or more then rode home. In the meantime the temperature dropped. Absolutely freezing coming back, first time I have been that cold since coming back to two wheels.

Do like this chap, found him doing a Hornet review and went one to watch a lot of his content. Interesting Guy.
-
Out for a walk with the Dear Boy, same area but took in a bit of the Saint’s Way to Tregaminion. 8.5k loop, dogs broken and to be fair I am knackered as well. Joy of being old

That’s Dave Williams, terrified of getting something wrong that’s why he looks like that I reckon he could do with being fondled abit he might chill the fuck out for once. Just realised about the Harold Shipman quote . He is a retired Chief Fire Officer, lovely bloke and was a stalwart of Bodmin rugby club. The sort you would want in you corner if things got sticky, heavy handed in his day
-
Yes I am sort of Kove curious as well. Probably not the same bike as you but curious just the same.
-
A choir I used to sing for. You can just see my shiny head about 3 from the right in the middle row.
-
I have been to the Menin Gate and sang at the service. Every now and again they have guest bands or choirs take part in the service and that is what we did. Very moving experience. Also been to the Pax (Peace) Monument at Dixmude. The hotel we stayed in was there. I tell you what also effected me more that I thought it would was the monuments to the Empire troops that died above and to the side of the Menin gate. The European troops were named the Empire ones were not, just monuments for the individual regiments.. Different times different values I suppose.
-
I know Finland a little, I did an Interail trip around Scandinavia in 1987 and spent some time in Helsinki. Fantastic place and people. I always swore I would go back but haven’t yet.
-
When we went to Tyne Cott cemetery in Belgium I didn’t understand why there were graves inscribed here lies two British soldiers or other multiples or something like here’s lies two unknown Germans. That type of thing. I felt a right tit when I asked to discover they were buried like that as it was impossible to separate the remains. That really shocked me, not something I had thought about before.

They pay you what you would have earned.
-
Do it if you have the chance, like extra leave and quite interesting to. I did jury service and was selected in the late 80's, would do it again in a heartbeat. Early finish and free pub lunch every day seemed like a win to me. Mind you I was pretty young. I was disappointed it only went on for a week.
-
Up early for an 8k walk to the Day Mark and back. Then out on the Hornet and back for the rugby at 1pm. Gonna chill out in front of the telly and maybe get a nap for work tonight.
-
First walk up to the Gribbin Daymark this year. Doesn’t come across on camera but it’s a proper lung buster to get up there. Some stunning skies up there. The views towards Rame Head and Plymouth.
