😠 The Little Annoyances Of Everyday Life (Part 1)

Funnily enough the bus will figure in my journey.

Me and Mrs C_S used to live in narf London (& followed the nappy-valley trail outward to eventually end up in Cobham - but that’s another story).

Buses and especially the night buses were a great form of entertainment. Some of the characters should get their own sitcoms. Happy daze….

I’ve not heard the latest stuff. I assumed it wrapped up after Felix Dexter went, but you linked the lockdown special, which I still haven’t heard. It needs to become an institution that survives its creators, much like ā€œI’m Sorry I Haven’t a Clueā€.

There will always be a need for DoL’s style of comedy and there will always be people stupid enough to complain.

Boss called last night - River Rafting trip.
So I wear my driving shoes & a light lunch for 4 hours drive & 2 on station.
Wrong.
Guest were doing Cycling, then white water rafting & a mountain hike.
I have totally the wrong gear.

Annoying because I could have done the Hike but not in leather soled shoes ffs!

Anyway I did a bit took some snaps & we have a new trip to add to our much delayed web site.

Stunning place

Sheds -

Actually sheds are alright, however after around 6-7 years of neglect and lobbing things in willy nilly, eventually you have to tidy the bastard

A ball ache but not insurmountable

Then the Ayatollah decides to stick her oar in

Cue numerous questions about why we have three secateurs and four pairs of gloves etc

She is not buying my bullshit

The true fact of the matter is that I bought the extras because I couldn’t find the previous ones because the shed was in such a state. I think the ayatollah suspects this

Given the predicted extreme heat and thunderstorms later, we bit the bullet and got up at 5:30 to get the first bus into Granada and beat the conditions. All buses into Granada cancelled until 12:40. No taxi available. Early get up for nothing. Prospect of simultaneously being cooked and soaked later. Great.

Update. Apparently they’re on strike today and it’s a Bank Holiday tomorrow. So no buses. Incoming big taxi fares.

When I was there a few years back they were still doing free tapas with a cana of beer

And the more you drank the better the tapas got

So you would start with olives, then cheese, maybe some tortilla right up to prawns

The Ayatollah did a year at uni there and pretty much subsisted that way

We went to Galicia a few years back and it was still like that. And on this trip got a free tostada in Valencia waiting for the main tapas.

A fucking dog two pitches away from us has been yapping for two hours because its owners have abandoned it to go to the bar. Which is really relaxing when it’s 9pm and still 32⁰.

Fir the avoidance of doubt, I have nothing against dogs. Just a fair proportion of their owners.

Trying to upload a 3 minute video to IGTV so I can share the link to Twitter so that I can share it on a thread on here.
With wonky internet.

(Phil? Stop using you laptop while you need bandwidth. Oh)

Fucking London office summer party. Having to speak with minions you really don’t want to (& vice versa)

And it’s fucking hot and humid

Still, there’s free beer and wine.

Wankered obviously

Band currently making a hash of Stevie Wonder’s Superstitious - plonking bass and guitar trying to fill in. Philistine audience too pissed to notice.

Now actually playing some funk properly. Go figurešŸ™„
