I understand that because of the orange clowns war with Iran that fuel prices will go up.
However, Asda express at Scotch Corner is price gouging solely to make more money.
Their UL is £1.99.9 a ltr compared to £1.72 at most places. That's over £1 per gallon in old money.
I'll remember this....

Palma on Mallorca is still my "If I can only visit one place for every holiday" destination.
Our latest trip was no exception, great food, great sites, great beach and good weather.
Perfect..

Why is it when I put my water bottle on my bike, I rarely touch it till I get home.
However, when you look down and see you've forgotten it you instantly become stage three dehydrated...

Today was my 60th birthday and I've spent it in Istanbul.

Istanbul has always been on my bucket list and now it's done. Where next for the bucket list? Not sure, maybe a European road trip..

TNT Sports, please stop with the horrendous AI animation. Do some research and put a true representation of the thing you're trying to get over...

Lazy and so many AI errors..

Another great Saturday afternoon ride out. Knackered though...

A family day out to Nottingham Castle, well worth the entry fee and extra caves tour cost.
The Trip to Jerusalem is still an outstanding hostelry.

Nottingham city centre though! Closed shops, homeless, many people obviously struggling mentally and just fast food, fast food. Disappointed...

I may be on my own saying this, but..

The Boss aftershave advert featuring an actor, footballer and singer is without doubt the cringiest load of sentimental bollocks I've ever seen.

Yes, im talking about the brand but it's put me off ever buying it for life.

That wasn't too bad, plenty of sunscreen and around 4 ltrs of fluid after the ride...

I was going to also post a video but @bsky.app is still a tad techy in that.

You can see from my cover pic that I live next to the River Derwent. The old mill had an amazing hydro electric capability which is still used to feed the grid.
This week they've been having major maintenance work and have been drained.
Impressive 100+ year technology still being used.

Amazing place and people and views are staggering..

So proud of my daughter!

Yesterday she was at Buckingham Palace to receive her gold D of E award.

Elizabeth and her mum both wore traditional Thai dress for the occasion.

She also had a chat with Prince Edward..

That's a wrap on the Mallorca trip.

A bit of work and too much play!!!

Ive always liked Palma, a mini Barca. The cathedral is staggering...
