Beer dodging Queen

Hello again people, am updating now as I will be away on an adventure starting tomorrow. 

I only saw the Queen once, must have been 1988 as I was driving around Dundee with 2 or 3 student pals, was stopped to let the royal car through, then we saw them driving away after visiting a company a while later. Heard about her passing as I was in the Auld Hoose, it shouldn't be a surprise when a 96 year old dies, but it was anyway, the end of an era for sure.

The media is only in the last 2 days started reporting on anything else, cheerful things like the weakening of the currency due to the incompetence of the latest PM, who was the worst choice of those who stood for the job. We will see how this all plays out.

Made my 200K already, had 2 weeks off the booze to try to lose weight, well I shifted probably 1.5 kg only, even with more running than usual, will probably have another couple of weeks off in October, will need it as a boozy week awaits abroad!

Been quite busy tidying today, cleaning floors in bathroom and kitchen too, getting a new boiler a week on Thursday so am getting prepared, also getting some parts of shower replaced as they are rusty, was only fitted 4 years ago or so. It's going to be expensive, but the economic situation means it's probably better to spend than save. 

Was also out cutting the grass earlier, maybe there will be one more cut needed this year, we will see. Photo shows me in patriotic pose on day of the Queen's funeral, also the playpark just opposite the Auld Hoose, didn't take a lot of photos this month it would seem.
