Chloë’s birthday so saw her for lunch at a lovely cafe/gardens near Bristol Airport called the Ethicurean Sara was very happy lots of choice which normally as a vegetarian isn’t common!
Was lovely to see family again, and not so tired this time!
Comfort Bike
I have been reminded of the help? On Headway forum that my old MTB, gave me in the early days independents and such, by being a dependable and calm bike. Sa and I have named it the Comfort Bike. It allowed me to get out on my own!
It has done a lot of miles now, it is a bit of my grandfathers axe in that it’s frame and handlebars is the only thing left!
Linda & Dave in the sun!
Just back from a holiday for Dads 70th at Linda and Dave’s new place in Brittany, it was staggering hot! Lovely place with lots of land and lots of places to sleep/hide in the shade!
Long journey though clocked up close to 700 miles return in the car, which is shattering! With two anxious women in the car, and my jolly old broken knogging I’m feeling quite proud!
Concareau!
We got out to Concarneau its a lovely walled town if a touch, touristy with Sara! It is remarkable hot at moment!
70!
Dads 70th today, went out to a lovely meal in Pont-Aven to celebrate with Linda and Dave, beautiful place. The place in parts reminds me of places from my childhood and Claude and Vera, Good memories!
In France!
In France to visit Linda and Dave, for my Dads 70th driven/ferry across with Sa and Mum and Dad, and this is young Awen!
Election Night!
So we are here, taken the time off tomorrow so I can watch this car crash of a election!
Thus far, i’m cynical that labour has done as well, tories as badly the exit poll is 314/266 but we shall see!
And the answer is remarkable close! So a Hung Parliament of some point! May’s gamble hasn’t worked! And Corbyn has done well, much to my cynicism!
Scott & Helyn
Scott and Helyn as well as a holiday in Disney world in Florida, they also got married, which was live streamed which is very them! I’m very happy for them.
Concussion in sport
Just stepped out of a talk organised by ABIL for concussion in sports, with talks by various speakers including the chief medical officer for the Rugby Football Union, was very interesting, one point across the different speakers was that concussion and terms like post concussion syndrome are not helpful terms i.e. People have balance etc issues rather than just having a label.
I came via public transport, train wasn’t bad but the tube stations are frankly terrifying!
Photo is just outside where the talk was held in Holborn not that far from the recent terror attack on London Bridge.
Polls, Humble Pie and Disability Hustings!
So at least looking at the polls looks like Labour/Corbyn are gaining on the conservatives who are having a spectacular bad campaign, okay Labour does have Diane Abbott who seems to be specialising in car crash interviews! But the Manifesto and even Corbyn have upped their game, where as the Conservatives launched the Dementia Tax, then the U turn coupled with some poor interviews have not been “strong and stable”! So the Game is a foot!
Also watching Disability Hustings organised by Mencap and others, following on twitter as well. Clearly not the Conservatives natural area!
Photo of Cousin Ben who I have no recollection of meeting! Though I don’t think we met very often as small children.
