So just got back from dropping W off at Carcassonne airport.
As she is going for longer she packed one smallish bag and took a big handbag.
They told her, "that is two bags."
We remonstrated a bit and W explained how much medication, spare stoma stuff etc that she had to take with her.
So that worked they just told her to get a letter of Ryanhair so that from now on she won't have the same problem.
Good sketch!

House very quiet, weather dull and drizzly.
Enjoy the rest of your day!

Went to me bike club annual rally and track day this week, went on Wednesday and got home this morning. Superb few days and meet ups with mates who I only see once a year. I don't take to the track anymore, but I can still drink beer and have fun. Went in me trusty tratter. But I have got to find a better plan for sleeping arrangements, got too old for camping in a tent which I can't stand up in. So that is the last tenting session for me.

A nice awnining from the tratter with sides, then a better camp bed away you go

.

Nice to catch up with old friends too

That is on the "for serious consideration" list.

Afternoon folks

Not commented for a while. But I was a bit wobbly for a few days last week, heat and dehydration did it

.
You would think I should know better having worked in hot countries for my last 20+ yrs.
All good now, drinking about 8 pints of water a day

.

Still hot, and the pool is still wet

The thing is that at shows like this big fun is had in the evenings, around the barbie etc, with loads of beers.

Then you couldn't get to the BnB unless it is within stagerring distance!

Storage problem at home for the 362 days a year it is idle. I like the idea of an awning attached to the tratter and will give it some serious looking at.

marjon · 2025-07-26T19:54:41+0100

So even having a few days off hasn’t meant I haven’t done anything

.

Lost count but 50m ish of coving has been put up and joints sanded, sanded a couple of walls.

I guess I will be a painting soon.

Pics before sanding
