May have overindulged at breakfast - but you pay for it, so make the most of it, right? Time to let it all go down… 😌

Same petrol station also had *all* the dodgy red bulls.

Not entirely sure I need a coffee machine to play music at me, but ok…

Definitely not doing any killing rn - far too chilled watching Spooks and Lovejoy on the hotel TV 😂

Earlier was 4 hours that went very quickly though.

I must admit to having no such valid excuse for the error

Review: Sickly sweet. Not something to eat just before you intend to sleep.

What’s this?
A hotel that has sockets on the bed side table?
On both sides of the bed?!
And not just 3-pin… not just 3-pin and USB-A… but 3-pin USB-A and USB-C!
Might die of shock, here!

That was the first thing I’ve been to that was a fully strict no phones (must be sealed away in a pouch).
Completely understand and support the reason, but it’s unusual not having any snaps to look back on.
Very old-skool - lives only in the memory…

It was a good job I beat the Waze clock by half an hour getting here - meant could still make the event, despite faff at the hotel!

It’s easily done (as I was telling myself earlier…)
Fortunately able to change (albeit in a rather ridiculous ‘tech getting in the way of what should be simple’ kind of way) 😆

Don’t you just love it when you go to check in… and discover you’ve booked the hotel for the wrong dates by accident 😂🤦‍♂️

Take a day off at the end of a manic work week and end up running round like a blue arsed fly… That’s not how this is meant to work out? 🤦‍♂️

And the ignorant, misogynistic spectacle playing out here, is the heart of government of the most powerful nation on the planet…

Heseltine has been coming up on the feed a lot the last few days.
He’s spot on with everything here.

Brit’s aren’t foriners though. Even when they’re in foreign climes…

Cholmondley Warner 🇪🇺🔶 @chumleyprelude.bsky.social · 2d

Because they’re on the brink.

Nicely written piece and food for you that you’ve been able to finally obtain something that was a ‘childhood’ dream.
I think you’ve pretty much nailed there why ‘retro nostalgia’ never goes away - the latest era it hits, just moves with time.

Cholmondley Warner 🇪🇺🔶 @chumleyprelude.bsky.social · 2d

One would certainly hope!
