I've just had my stitches taken out

Any pus?

None of that

Got a proper grilling on the 1st aid course assessment was almost like they think we are paramedics.

I passed and took a lot of confidence from it as was a very tough assessment. Unfortunately the lad I was with got NYC.

GOING THE F**K HOME TODAY!!

Long time coming Kiwi. Enjoy it mate its been well earned.

Make sure you put your feed up and enjoy some quality time with Jess and the kids.

Today I am finishing processing what I shot at Oulton on Saturday , I decided to break with convention and shoot into the sun but to stop everything being "blown out " I used the spot metering mode , I must say I am really really pleased with the results .

As always very impressive action shots, nice one Jack

I love spot metering, I tend to shoot in that mode most often.

Great snaps mate!

The first one is my favourite. It really brings the bike out.

How do you transport them? I imagine parcels are thrown about a fair bit. I imagine these spiders arriving with legs missing.

Are they fully grown or little things?

Most were adults. You wrap them in tissue then put each one in its own container. You make sure that the container is packed out with tissue and then seal the container so the lid can't come off The containers are packed into a box. The box was filled with bubble wrap.

A serious knock to a spider can rupture the abdomen and that's fatal.

When my mate transports his butterflies they're frozen. Not sure how they do it....dry ice or something.
OR.....they stick 'em in the freezer next to the fishfingers, maybe...??

Got my car back from BMW today. I enjoyed the 320 and great family car but was an absolute joy to be back in my own car had a little side ways action in the rain on the way home

Camping in our old camper van in the Dordogne. Works quite well now we've done it up. We haven't used it because of covid, but we needed a break, just a couple of days to try it.

Done 4 hours hiking with the dogs this afternoon, they are nice and quiet now

Time for a beer

Sounds perfect Cookie enjoy

It's 107F right now. This has to be a new record. The A/C can barely keep up.
This is fricking ridiculous.
Obviously this means I'm doing nothing other than hiding indoors.

On the plus side I've ordered a new guitar today, so I'm a bit excited-ish. It'll be the first brand-new guitar I've bought in a very long time.....and the deal was so ridiculously good I'd be a fool to pass it up. Quite chuffed about it, TBH.

Feeling glad it's friday, I've had enough of this week.

I fell asleep this afternoon

I'm going to have to apologise to work and book it as holiday.
