Contrary to popular belief, forgiveness is NOT easier to get than permission, especially when SWMBO is at that sensitive time....

Come along to the amazing Summer Moot (21st July - 2nd August), a festival of bushcrafting and camping in a beautiful woodland PLEASE CLICK HERE for more information.
To always, ALWAYS take pain killers on an overnighter and that migraines do not in any way improve a camping trip.
Sorry to monkeyboy for spoiling an otherwise very good trip!

Sincere condolances from a fellow migraine sufferer. That thas got to be really REALLY bad to be away from the tablets, bad enough when I've taken them and just hoping till they kick in sooner than later. Must be hellish to not have them with you at all.
Cheers biker, to be honest i get what i assume is a normal amount of bog standard headaches (for someone who works in front of a computer most of the day) and luckily have only had what i would consider a migraine 3 times that i can remember.
I usually keep both regular pain killers and the super morphine based ones i have left over from a bike crash but it seems these got left behind when i did a sort through of my bag, not a mistake i will be making again in the near future!
I've discovered I have vivid dreams. Not only do I believe my hands are ablaze at 3am and sneeze meaty sneezes at my sleeping wife's face, fearing I'll burn my face if I cup my mouth. Apparently last night, I woke her again at the same time, shouting and ordering her not to touch the ceiling as its dangerous.

I've learnt the radiolbad podcasts are really quite entertaining.

Could be worse. My wife says I used to murmur the names of other women. Not guilty, m'lud, but the defence advocate had to do a lot of hard work to get that verdict returned.
Luckily I don't seem to do that anymore.
A guy at work once got really drunk, got home at some silly hour, where his wife [must have been a very understanding woman] started to put him to bed. When she started to take his trousers off he sat bolt upright said "can't do that, I'm married" then fell down again in a drunken stupor.
Anyway made me laugh, just thought I'd share.
Bet he scored a few points for saying he's married. Sounds like a solid relationship.
In the last few days I've found 2 sorts of mushrooms that are new to me, and learned that the mushroom currently known as The Prince (Agaricus augustus) is absolutely delicious.
I have learned how heavy green oak is, (very.) Also if you leave your metal plane resting on it for five minutes to go make coffe when you return there will be a blue/black stain underneath, for some reason. Not to mention the fact tools used to work the stuff need sharpened every five minutes. Live and learn eh.

I've learned, or rather relearned that flint cuts exremely well and that said cut bleeds and bleeds. Now I have to learn how to remove dry blood from concrete.
Dry concrete, wow, with the weather the way it is I can't remember the last time I saw anything dry
I've learned three new things ~
My centre of gravity has changed greatly over the years

Certain types of bike saddles aren't actually intended to be sat on :yikes: .
And you _can_ forget how to ride a bike!

That...
Old Hungarian apartments often share an electrical neutral with the entire floor of a building.
That the metal conduit carrying the supply for the bathroom immersion heater may appear to enter a wall at one place and exit on the other side of that wall with no diversions left, right, up or down in between, however they don't.
That the electrical live cables from the main supply board on the ground floor may appear to arrive at the fifth floor flats without interruption, however the fifty year old capsule fuses that should have been bypassed are still in line and hidden away on the second floor.
That Hungarians can be surprisingly understanding when you cut off their power for an entire night.
Whoops.
