Now back at Heathrow and trying to negotiate the nightmare that is the public transport system when the blackmailing bar stewards who apparently didn’t realise that driving a tube might involve shift work are once again holding London to ransom.
A nice day on some pleasant roads ,apart from trying to drive around Amsterdam ring road at 5pm . Staying on a tiny campsite right next to a large Marina. Lovely weather still. The restaurant is shut so dinner at the van . Driving over the Afsluitdijk bridge tomorrow to our next stop , it's 21 miles long and no charge .
Yeah those Caballeros are great bikes and the 500cc (same just bored out) is a perfect off road on road bike imo.
They do a 700 now as well but the stylings gone a bit shit. edit: I’ve just had another look at the 700 and I’ve changed my mind it still looks pretty good
The 700 version has the Yamaha Tenere twin engine. The 500 was originally launched with an engine from India, which a friend of mine has, and it’s an excellent, lightweight machine. The later versions swapped to an Italian engine, (possibly by Piaggio?) and they too have had excellent reviews.
Other half went for an interview at a local window/glazing place....apparently the bloke that interviewed her said the last time they advertised 2 positions there were over 600 applicants in just under 4 hours...id guess its literally a matter of weeks now before the economy completely collapses...
I always like that - being in a shed or garage with the door open and seeing heavy rain through the open door & hear it on the roof. But your warm, dry & content bimbling about doing shed or garage type bimbling stuff.
Put down a deposit on a level 3 diploma in dog grooming with a view to starting my own business in the new year. It’s an intensive four week course starting at the end of November taking me up to Christmas. Hopefully be earning again in January.
The economy is going down no matter what....at the moment its a case of the straw that breaks the camels back...its just theres a lot of straws...
Its what the winters are for....only problem is ive got limited space so as you see...something has to go outside.! Got a laptop with a hard network connection, sat receiver and a kettle in there so i can spend the whole day in peace.
Lovely... just need a little single hob so you can make an all in one fried breakfast... and perhaps a whisky optic on the wall... and a dart board... oh & a comfy old armchair...
