After 3 shouting matches and 1 losing the will to live episode I'm back from the Old Country!

The house is near the Eden Project but fuck that, behold "The Pyramid"

And in a similar vein this is the view next door to the house:

There's fuck all chance of my mum packing up her life before the moving date so I'm probably looking at another week down there soon.

Went to buy something and couldn't find my debit card, so used PayPal which I rarely use now, and there was a £5 off coupon automatically applied by PayPal

Worth checking your account if you've not used PayPal in a bit.

But if it's man made hills you're looking for then the shale bings around Edinburgh take some beating...

Yeah, but were they ever used as a big billboard against the Rees-Mogg thing?

(It's in his constituency)

We turned up at our local in Coleford (about 4 miles away from the volcano) dickered in paint on the turn of the decade to 1990 just before last orders.

When asked what we had been up to, we said we were painting a mate's house.

The next morning the volcano was on sky TV, 'NO POLL TAX' in 12' letters in a incredibly similar colour as the paint we were covered in the night before...

My weirdly swollen and bruised feeling feet and ankles have died down enough for me to be able to see the veins
on the top of my feet like I'm normally able to. I've been quite uncomfortable the last week or so.

No redness so I don't think so... They feel sort of bruised but aren't, they're a bit better again today. I was reading
a few articles claiming Skechers shoes can cause foot and ankle issues by virtue of being too soft and bouncy and
not supportive enough. I haven't worn my pair at all for about 5 days now and my feet are almost back to normal.
Could it be the footwear?

I mostly wear Vans and they offer zero support - basically a thin flat sheet of hard rubber - and outside the Cellulitis my feet have been fine.

Could it be you are pushing yourself too hard?

Parisians vote to ban e-scoots from Paris.



https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/apr/02/parisians-vote-on-banning-e-scooters-from-french-capital

I spent a week in Nice last summer.

It's treacherous trying to walk anywhere.

Ars-wholes on e-scooters flying around everywhere.

It's not the e-scootering that is the problem, it's the basic fact that probably none of the bastirts have any training, licence or insurance.

Saved my mum's old land-line number! Considering it's been in continual use since 1965 quite a save. I've got it to redirect to her mobile for now and once she's moved we can redirect it to the new landline.
