😃 The Little Pleasures of Everyday Life

It’s been raining so Molly takes 5 minutes out to watch the races. Molly loves horses and is so excited to see so many galloping through her lounge. :lou_lol:

Unexpected Thunderstorms.
Catching tourists in prepared.
A high %age of the young ladies wearing whit tee shirts.

Praise the Lord for mirrored shades.
Yes I know it’s not the done thing, but they all had to waddle passed by windscreen. It’s your fault, not very busy on here so had to look away from the phone occassionally.
Well, every 10 seconds or so.

Rubbish…photos or it never happened.

A morning of extreme Bus Wankering. Head AWAY from Krakow to connect to a Bus to south of the River.
Gosh that was complicated. When trying to find 1st bus stops, then routes in an area I dont know.
Google Maps is normally good at that but if you dont know generic stop names arrrgh.
Anyway, I managed it so a chirpy but early start to a long day on the road, then introducing my step nephew to 6X & Hobgoblin and trying Wroclaws’ finest craft ales with homemade gargantuan pickles tonight

Had to take some lads to a theme park today. Supposed to have a quiet day after that before collecting them tonight. Got a call, distraught elderly lady from NI been let down and needed rescuing from airport & driven to the mountains.
So off I go. The afternoon sun on the mountains was astonishing (no time to stop for snaps)
Then legged it up a new route to get the lads OMG what a drive - stunning.
Parked up for 20 minutes watching cricket here

Marvellous.
White water rafting tomorrow. They asked me to go with them.
How do you say fvck off I have cricket to watch in Maltese?

Took the lads Go karting.
Only 16 minute session they all cried when I checked them in.
Seeing the staff lift their broken bodies (exhaustion) from the Karts now.
:rofl::rofl:

I was taken Karting by my mate in Brazil several years ago. We were watching the previous session and laughing at ā€œtail-end Charlieā€ an older guy taking it very carefully. 15 minutes later I was ā€œtail-end Charlieā€ and I fully understood why. As you grow older you also get to appreciate you are no longer indestructible…whilst my mates kids had not a care in the world.

I used to do a bit of go karting years ago. Haven’t done it for years now, I reached the same conclusion as you, I got to the age when you realise that you don’t bounce anymore.

Yep I thought I was pushing-on, being competitive but suddenly realised I was a rolling road-block…they all eventually streamed past. Each corner had piles of rubber tyres but all I could think was…I know they are shock absorbers but if I hit them it’s still going to hurt.

Strange day. I’m doing tours. A very old friend from Dubai got back in touch who works for a tour operator.
Project I worked on resurfaced. Prime contractor took us out for dinner & a beer (nothing posh, but a nice burger for 1st time in ages). Trying to get the trade secrets I’d costed into the project for cost of said burger - ha! He’ll be back.
And out of nowhere an interview/meeting in September with someone wishing to open a business here.
Told him what I’d charge and we are meeting.
Must have been 7 years ago yesterday I broke a mirror/walked under a ladder
