A smile and a gripe, this. Had a cracking ride over the Derbs Dales this morning, which was very refreshing; however, I needed my thermal longjohns, my quilted midlayer under my jacket and my winter gloves. Can we have a bit of sunshine and warmth please?

Just arrived in Stroud Gloucester. The road leading to the Premier Inn is closed due to white line marking that's supposed to happen tomorrow. Had to speak to one of the workers to ask what I'm supposed to do? "Park in Tesco'" says he. "But I've got a disabled passenger" says I. "Nothing I can do mate"says he.
So luckily I brought along the power assist for the wheelchair and managed to get up hill to the hotel without having a heart attack.

That doesn't sound so great John! Good job you had the power assist. How well set up for wheelchairs is the Premier Inn?

Aargh! What a pain in the derrière that must have been Mike! How far did you have to travel for the office?
