Ah, ha! The TBC is back in play.

In case anyone is concerned, the Towers' Tandem Bath Chair hasn't been suggested for the Futtes-Bomma family, simply because of their V8 leanings. The TBC comes with a Colombo V12 and strict limits on modifications. And a handbook, unusually. But that's by the bye.
Belay the last command. The V12 has it.

I have some bad news regarding the Towers' Tandem Bath Chair, it appears that Battert has "borrowed" the steering wheel and tiller for one of his projects!!!

V12 certainly has it, old boy.

I wouldn't dismiss another V8, I haven't ruled out the bathchair either.

Finally arrived at our Airbnb house in Uig. Oh my god the scenery in this part of Scotland is really breathtaking. We grabbed a Chinese take out in Portree on the the way up and would you believe it the owner was from Ramsgate in Kent where I was born hopefully be able to see the lights again tonight as it’s a grade 7 and we are in the middle of nowhere and high up with clear skies.

A pictures for you….not brilliant but you get the idea

Good morning everyone.
For the first time in my life I’ve just experienced the horror of constipation pains!
I’ve emerged from the bathroom a grey sweaty mess!

After 27 degrees yesterday we should only get 16 or so now. Much more pleasant to carry out the days plans.

Fout.

Stayed up late last night to see if the pretty sky came again, but it didn't. Then felt a bit sick, so sat up until 2 then went to bed.
Mrs B isn't feeling right today either. Suspect it might be some chicken we had for tea last night.

Slight haze has burnt off, looks like another beautiful day so we'll pop to the big car boot shortly, back for breakfast, sometime later this morning a shady walk along the estuary then a lazy afternoon.

Morning all bounce

It's looking like another lovely day here, sun's up already smile

We went out last night with a couple of friends for a bite to eat, the chap very kindly picked us up and took us home.

Has a Leon Cupra, he does. He's extremely happy with it, I thought it went very well. Does anyone happen to know much about them? It's quite a newish one, sort of an SUV type of thing.

Good morrow fellow Trivialities everywherewavey
Well it appears to be a decent day out there again, I may well drag the bike out and go for another ride this morning.

The only Cupra SUV's I'm aware of are the Formentor and the Alteca Bomma, not the Leon, pics below.




Are you going to start selling firewood to complement your income paua?

Hope you're feeling better now Byker.
