Head shaved sunburnt biker

The end of May, sun beating down, warm temeperature and a cold Proper Job IPA in the hand, life isn't too bad. Not been a month with a lot going on, been walking- acheived 300K, but the last few days of the month have been warm and discipline has gone, basically sunbathing and drinking beer and cider! Even had my bike out today, about time as I bought it back in july 2018! It's been littering my bedroom (along with the rusty golf clubs) since then.

I did a lot of my usual walking circuits-usually getting at least 10K a time, and did this about 5 times a week, will bring the routine back tomorrow for the start of June. Cut the grass-both mine and my dad's- a couple of times too. Been kept busy going to supermarket for my Aunt as well, the queue to get in was massive yesterday, hopefully this lockdown shite will soon pass and things will become more normal. I had a flight to Germany booked at start of month, but obviously didn't go, refund still not received, honestly these airlines are shooting themselves in the foot with this.

Got a new phone, wasn't my idea, more my PR assistant, still getting used to it, will also get a newer Samsung fitbit thingy- I like the one I have but the strap broke and it now glued on.

My budgie Stasi was taken to vet a couple of weeks ago, she has something up with ther foot, but the vet just gave painkiller, which the other budgie also seemed to like, the spaced out feathered terrors were even noiser than usual while the stuff lasted. She seems fine now, though tends to lie down rather than sit, well she is over 7 now and no spring chicken.

Glad I had invested in haircutting clippers a couple of years back- been used to extreme effect- likely I will not need to visit any barbers again as I can be sheared at home for free, plus my few strands aren't too hard to cut. Do not expect a picture! Also because I'm like a lobster after all this sun!

Oh well, onwards and upwards eh? The job front isn't too active, though I had an virtual interview yesterday and it seemed to go OK. Here a few photos, as ever I endevour only to post photos taken in the month of the post.

Am away to put soothing cream on my burnt bits..

PS the photo of me holding a beer was from May 1 to celebrate a month of sobriety, unfortunately the celebration then involved several more-and a half bottle of scotch- the last day I tasted whisky. Shame as I have still a bottle waiting patiently in the cupboard, oh well..good things come to those who wait. Never liked that t-shirt, it's breathable but makes me look as if my tits are huge..the union flag was waiving on VE day.
