S-Westerly Posted August 5, 2021 Author Share Posted August 5, 2021 Well what a shitty day today has been. Until a couple of hours ago I was looking forward to being relieved in Reunion on the 10th. Just found out I won't be as my replacement is Russian and can't travel into France as Russia is on red list. Buggeration. Now stuck here until first half of September which is a bummer. On the plus side Reunion goes onto red list itself on the 8th so would have probably to do hotel quarantine on arrival. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S-Westerly Posted August 5, 2021 Author Share Posted August 5, 2021 French list is different to our list but only consolation is British engineer who joined month after me will have to quarantine when he gets home. Not bitter or anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dynax Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 Good evening On the way home this evening I nodded to another biker and this time instead of the usual nod or wave or even the european leg shake, I was acknowledged with a tap of the helmet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dynax Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 Good evening got absolutely saturated today oh the joys of biking, but tbh I didn't care, called in to the supermarket for some bits and pieces and the exit was blocked by people waiting for it to stop, not being very polite and wanting to get home I shouted at them " It's only f'ing water you won't f'ing melt" and barged my way through Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve_M Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 I’ve just been reminded that it’s been eight years since I stopped working in IT to become a self employed gardener, and four since I fully retired. Among the best decisions I’ve ever made. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
