In Riyadh you find this restaurant that looks out of Place amongst the new building.
You sit on the floor and use your hands to eat. Food was great and very filling.

I will try and endure my time as president a little longer than I anticipated, but when you get back let me know and I will resign immediately

Marley is only 10, but been limping for a while. Took him to the vet and he has tendinitis.
No more long walks, no more runs. Up to 5+ months of rest.
It a long slow downhill, and I am dreading to next few years.

4hrs London to Lancaster. Drop off the boy at his Uni halls. Say goodbye and almost 6hrs back.
When they say the UK is full I can understand, but that’s not the issue. Feels like everyone over the age of 18 has a car and drives on a Sunday

1 week in London and all I have done is work.
So tonight was a pleasure to get out and have a good pint of London Pride

Made it. Left 08:30 and arrive 21:30 il time.
Took 1hr to do 12 miles thanks to the new 20mph London.. crazy

Taking both kids to uni. The eldest started 3 years ago and now the youngest joins the idea and will be also going to Uni in the UK.

Excellent.
Hopefully I will be in the country when he comes

I thought it was a shame he left UBB, he did a good job on défense back then.
I will sadly be in the uk in those dates.

Flew into Sevilla. 37 degres, hot hot.
Drive down to Gibraltar (2hr drive) and it is 18, wet and foggy.
What is it with the weather in Britain???

He wants to start a civil war. He sees Ukraine and Israel in war and all elections suspended. This will keep him in power under Marshall law.

Maybe someone fell out of a window. That’s what happens in Russia

He wants a civil war which will allow him to activate martial law and keep him in power with no elections

Cultural night tonight. Theatre in Carcans to see
Les Belles-mères. Prêtes à tout pour empêcher le mariage.

I ended up using the web version rather than the app. Pain in the arse but worked.

Evening pick ice on the sand

The most unorganised stores ever. You cannot go in looking for something specific as you will never find it among the mess. Go in for a browse and you will find it by chance

Today. 25 years of marriage.
How the hell did anyone put up with me for that long??
Off into town for a slap up meal and a few drinks.

What a legend he was. I started listening to Ozzy when I was 13 as I was introduced to his tribute album to Randy Rhodes, then black sabbath. Always wanted to see him live, but failed.
The Godfather of heavy metal. RIP.

Yet the people I speak to in Gibraltar welcome this. Trade coming from UK and EU is now easier. Passing across the border every day is going to be easier for the workers.

I negotiated with them for a set price.
I told them I didn’t want 4K tv, didn’t need wifi 6 and they agreed on a €29 month deal with no rise in price in future.

Yours would have run as you were laughing 😆

Hopefully the make-up didn’t run.
