I might buy fish and chips and eat them sitting on the sea front (and dodge the seagulls).

Sent the last of the requested paperwork to the prospective landlord. Now we'll see if they offer me a contract...

Fingers crossed.

Bikes are on the roof of the car ready for tomorrow's trip to the west of Ireland. I may have put a tiny dent in son no. 2's car trying to get 3 bikes on the roof of mine. But I'm all packed, and ready.

Unlike son no. 2. He's still to pack. But he does have his final A-level exam tomorrow morning and it's the most important one. He'll get packed ... eventually!

Fish and chips eaten and very nice it was too.

No gulls were harmed in the consumption of this meal. 🔫

All the best to Son #2 in both endeavours...

Lovely supper of home made chicken enchiladas, home made guacamole, a green salad and some soured cream on the side.

All eaten whilst resplendent in my jim jams.

Leaving work, I found my rear tyre was flat. It must have been something hefty to make it past the puncture protection and slime tube.

I found what appeared to be an old 1 inch iron floorboard nail, embedded near the sidewall of the tyre.

On closer inspection, it wasn't a nail at all, but a thorn

What size flower did that come from ? A Triffid ?

It'll polish out with T-cut, I'm sure...

Pawsies crossed from all here for the lad.

Pyracantha, probably. Failing that, blackthorn aka sloe or hawthorn.

Following on from talk of the Waverly, I did a cruise on the Gota Canal many years ago. Canal is a misnomer if you cruise from Stockholm to Goteborg, as the lakes are more like small seas.

I'm tempted to attempt to read some Sir Walter Scott when I get home to see what he was all about. My local library has loads of his books in the classics section.

One of the downsides of using Booking.com is the six billion emails asking me to leave feedback on the places I've stayed.
