Out before 07:15 home 09:30 Another Layby over at the Cat n Fiddle (if you're in the area, don't bother going over, a large section is being surfaced with loose chippings, the cheapest and crappiest way of surfacing IMO). I would give it a few weeks until the sweeper has picked up the loose chippings, if there is ever such a day.

You've had some cracking weather

What's it like when riding in the warm weather, can you get air to your torso. When its warm I usually ride in a mesh jacket, but when I have a rucksack on my back it restricts the airflow.

Pesky little buggers aren't they. Sadly it wasn't me, only got as far as Windermere before heading back to Blackpool

Took the Cruiser out, but not that kind - over Bowness on Windermere and Blackpool

It probably is normal, as funky as the Grom maybe, I don't think it would be my bike of choice to enhance my riding confidence.

Nice, have you been over Winnats Pass!

Oooh test riding the scalpel, have fun.

Its a welsh version of the NC500 - Its a 360 mile route around North Wales taking in Anglesey - Barmouth - Aberystwyth etc

I hope all is OK. Have you a route planned. Have you tried the Wales 360 route!

Or sheep.

Regarding the Batch numbers, I have just read the following countries have independently authorised the Indian made vaccine: Spain. Belgium. Germany. Netherlands. Switzerland. Hungary. Latvia. Iceland and Sweden. Just them pesky French fookers being tw@ts. Might have to get the ferry from Ull to Europoort. So the Olive Press say anyway. There is hope..... UPDATE: Brits wanting to travel to Spain can breathe a sigh of relief as Spanish Government authorise Indian made AstraZeneca vaccine for travel - Olive Press News Spain (theolivepress.es)

What's the plan should the worst happen and there is a positive test. Do you have to stay at your hotel!

We'll be fine, no-one will notice. Not that I'm on this trip mind you, but I'm supposed to be travelling to Euroland the same weekend

I bet it doesn't say made in India though does it, well I'm going to chance it, I bet they wont even pay attension to the batch number, it'll probably all be sorted by then, I bet they haven't got any of the t'Indian serum left anyway

I know the batch number comes up but the vaccine is the same as all the other Astrid Zenica or what ever it's called

@Stu Though I would go all up market and include a bridge tonight

Why on earth would you even mention anything about the Vaccine produced in India - just get a jab. Your Vaccine passport wont even mention it

Took to long way home

Our Office has all Gender Neutral toilets - as for the sink, I prefer the term 'hot and cold running urinals' .

Do you ever get a day off

Oxford Mondial Advanced Laminate Motorcycle Clothing - What Oxford allegedly Say about their product. "Employing a laminate outer shell, incorporating Oxford highest Dry2Dry™ waterproof and breathable membrane bonded to a tough nylon construction. The advanced WarmDry™ thermally mapped removable liner is low-bulk but high-insulation providing comfort in cold weather conditions. What Pie man says - "anyone want to buy an Oxford Textile Motorcycle suit". Guaranteed to keep you dry

I bought the Oxford Mondial Jacket & Trousers a couple of years ago - build quality and fitment were OK, big problem, it couldn't keep water out, and they were supposed to be the new laminate suit. Returned them to SBS who returned them the Oxford, fair play they sent out a new suit within a week however I've hardly worn it in.

Do I have to position the bike in a beauty spot with rolling hills and a river in the backdrop or would any old shitty layby do
