Things That Gladden The Heart

Completing a speed awareness course and coming away with some valuable and fascinating knowledge ...................... and no points on my licence!
Did one in January. And in spite of my pre-course reservations found it really good & useful. I think anyone who's been driving for a while should do one regardless of whether they've been nabbed or not.
 
We're going to a bar for a drink tonight together for the first time in almost two years. It's amazing how much I'm looking forward to sitting down at a table with a pint.
I went for a pint in my local for first time in 15 months last night - I used to be in there four or five times a week before the world stopped.

Enjoyed it and will go again occasionally but I don't ever see me being a regular drinker again.
 
Out running this morning and ripped the top off my nipple (the right one) so that it actually bled
That's a pain I've never felt before ?


Two reasons it's in this thread and not random irritations....



One, I'm finally running enough to suffer that kind of 'injury'
Two, for the rest of today I have a fully justifiable reason to Google 'nipple'! (y)
 
Ha ha quality, had a few argumentative types but nothing that extreme ?

It was brilliant. You could tell what he was going to be like when sitting having a coffee before we started.

He was warned a number of times. Eventually the tutor guy said he'd had enough and that the old boy clearly wasn't going to learn anything so was welcome to the 3 points and a fine.

The old boy did try to protest and apologise to no avail.

I would have loved to have slow clapped him out.
 
I went out for a bike ride this afternoon. Got home a couple of hours later and the dogs spotted me in the garden putting my bike away. They went nuts until David opened the back door and I waited for the onslaught, wondering who would be first round the corner. Usually Barley gives way to Daisy (and she is quicker than him now) but he made sure he had the inside line and pretty much launched himself at me with utter, uninhibited joy that I was home :love::love:

When our three got collected yesterday to get taken to their summer hound retreat - they were so excited to see the lass that looks after them, they didn't even say goodbye - just leapt into the car cage and barked lets go :p
Lady outcast was a bit miffed:cry:

Does David do the same. :whistle:
 
When you have an incident last hour of 12 hour shift with a train that just lost all power / comms with the control room and your boss said he was delighted with how you handled it.

Then get home And my colleague who's an ex driver txts me as the driver of the broken train got in touch with him


"Whoever the signaller was tell him he's a badman though. He was so good"

"The signaller was quality by the way, Proper calm and thorough"

Makes it worth it

Doubt the customers were happy with being stuck in a tunnel for 30 mins but can't account for a total random loss of everything
