Worse....across the valley in Edinburgh...
Better take vitamin tabs and suck oranges in case she gets scurvy.

Just noticed that I have got a text to say that I can book my 2nd vaccine. Isn't that brilliant. Have booked it for Friday 16th April.

@ianpspurs you'll be pleased to hear MrsBRS has had the hallway of hoose tiled in my absence. Been threatening to do it for ages. If you like, I can share so my street cred in not having a real garden is restored by chucking away carpets!

Have a good evening everyone. Missing my new friends back East but it's great to be home. Even Gerald the cat was pleased to see me; he only attacked me twice.

What a great way to spend 3 hours and 44 minutes - good set of photos - spring on the move, never mind the grumpy lumberjacks - they’re OK, they sleep all night and they work all day.....hope the burned trees survive.

It was splendid, not Muddy but very dry reminded me of French Pine Forests. I think some of the Silver Birch will be OK, time will tell.

I have never owned a Moto Guzzi but the cylinder heads stand proud. I have had a few BMW’s with the Boxer engine where the cylinder heads stick out - so number one idea - get some engine crash bars.
Here are the things to look out for according to Bennetts (motorcycle insurance specialists):

Generally, all V7 models are pretty reliable, however they do have a few issues that you need to keep an eye out for. The spoke-wheeled models suffer from rusty spokes, so have a very good look at where they meet the rims for any signs of rust, and also check for a service history. The MkI has service intervals of 4500-miles where the MkII and MkIII have 6000-mile intervals (or yearly on both models) and valve clearances are checked at every service, which is often skipped. To be brutally honest the V7’s performance puts very little stress on the motor, but it is better to be safe than sorry. Crash damage is pretty common on the V7 as it is often bought by newer urban riders, so have a look for scrapes, and also be wary of any bike that has been significantly modified. The Guzzi fits into the new trend for customisation and as such subframes often get hacked and that’s a one-way street! It’s never a great idea to buy a bike that has been butchered as you can’t be 100% sure on the quality of the work. Finally, give the bike’s shaft drive a good check and look for any signs of oil weeps or knocking sounds that may indicate it needs new bearings or seals. Again, it’s not a huge job but it does cost a bit to get completed.

From a non bikers point of view the one thing it's got going for it is the sound, unique.

good evening all :)

4.6 today

shopping day today so that took up a good bit of the morning :) the bin men have been and it's finally stopped raining ;)

New case for my phone arrived today and it's now gone into the charity shop donations box, I fitted the case and it activates the touch screen every time it's moved :banghead: I've found myself looking at a load of screens and menus I've never seen before, hopefully I removed it before it's changed too many of my options without my noticing :hilarious:

Hope your day is treating you well :)

@BRSBRI - glad you're back safely and Many Happy Returns for tomorrow :)

@dunelm - love it, the trees on the crag in the foreground and the details round the base add to the strong perspective :)
that's a lovely photo too :joyful:

@gennepher - gel prints, very fine results (runs off to google gel prints ;) )

@jjraak - roadworks :sorry: not to mention diversions.

@Muddy Cyclist - sounds like you had a great ride, I'd be proper powfagged ;) produced some great photos though and I look forward to the sketches :)

@lindisfel - lots of rain here today so my prime sighting was a heron fishing in the drainage canals near mum's :)

@ianpspurs - thanks ianp I look forward to the protein review, I might try making hot chocolate with my whey protein :)

interesting article link too and chimes with my own preference for more protein rather than fat in my diet balance.

art bit
this was done from a photo I saw on the net. I was quite pleased with the way the windows turned out but I overworked the sea I think.
