I did not know brunch was a meal for men. I am thinking only the English middle-class ladies eat this?..

As I had not had anything to eat since 19:30 on the previous evening, only water to drink after (and nothing to drink since 9:00 this morning), my stomach was making comments about this. I hate fasting blood tests! I hope it comes back clear.

Well I've been at the Christcurch Harbour hotel and spa for a couple of days. I didn't have brunch, I had the full English this morning and some posh nosh tonight for dinner. The bill for dinner for two came to £67. Have you ever seen a grown man cry? Good job the hotel and spa treatments was a gift from my daughter.

During WW2 my Godfather/Great Uncle (JRM Boothby, 85th Squadron) came up with what he called the 'Boothby Brunch'. It consisted of grilled sausages, grilled spam, bacon, fried eggs, fried bread and sweet corn fritters. If the squadron had been scrambled very early in the morning (missing breakfast), they would have a 'Boothby Brunch' to keep them going.

Today I got tyres delivered from Camskill. I check price against the link here for the same size - 145/80/13. Camskill was cheaper. I bought Kumho KH17 for £31 each, so £39 fitted by local place here.

I have a feeling the wet weather grading is only for straight line grip and doesn't apply to any form of 'evasive' steering.
Done around 1k miles with these tyres and they are really good for the price. Low noise levels and haven't been able to activate the ABS yet :-D

Well, I went to the place indicated by the Sailun supplier and they had none and couldn't get any from their supplier.
Opted for some other tyres (Maida)? while I was there anyway and had them fitted.
Ride is definitely harder now. I may regret this purchase.
