In Belgiumβ¦ itβs another cost knocked on the head. Also means I then can only fly back and forth but so be it.
Ryanair and SN Brussels are OK for me.

Yes, for me itβs the Easter WE to return. Donβt know the exact dates yet.
Need to find out soon so I can arrange my Channel crossing method. Hopefully fly. Driving takes long and we donβt need two cars here π
In factβ¦ Iβm considering not replacing mine when that βdiesβ.
Cycling - Public tpt OK
Iβm never worried about me and my time away.
My worry is the home front and them/OH coping with me not being there.
Seems to be doing OK π
I think weβve , sort of, settled into a routine already.
Daily video calls help a lot too.
Though I think the 3 wks before Easter Iβll be more or less off grid.
Weβll see.
Easterβ¦
I got some training courses and exercises in the next 6 weeks.
Exciting stuff π

Good morning all!
The 8 days have flown byβ¦
This last day is the travel day⦠Drive from Huddersfield to Dover. 4.5-5 hrs.
Ferry.
Then another good hourβ¦
Weβve had a good time. Saw some friends too.
Cooked chicory in ham rolls gratin last night.
Have a lovely Sunday all!
Weβre actually getting close to not going out anymore:
Drinks in pubs are already overpriced; on average Β£6+ for a pintβ¦
Food prices have also gone up⦠in supermarkets too (plus shrinkflation).
Itβs always been a bit of a gamble, trusting restaurant owners but this is making things worse.
Indeedβ¦
Though I wonder if βourβ embassy and Foreign Office Federal Government Service would do any better.
One would hope so.
Everything depends on the individuals and the communication.
Good morning Beans and Mushen!
I hope you have a distracting Saturday. The haircut should definitely help with that.
Molly and Dax managed to be in the same room last night.
We had a furry visitor in the afternoon.
Have a lovely WE!

I donβt know how one feels yet, when this happens. I can only hope it was painless and quick - something weβd wish for ourselves.

Just as well there are MPs like @harpreetuppalmp.bsky.social who take their job seriously.
I object to paying yet more for utilities...
@pauldaviesmp.bsky.social CON predecessor J McCartney was useless and I hope that the current Kirklees MPs will make life a lot harder for you.
This is it 100%; even to get officers into the estate requires coordination at the highest level. Andrew is being offered up (not that he doesnβt richly deserve it)

Who's David Davis again?

Or the 'impact analysis' Brexit was potentially going to have on 58 economic sectors?
Based on this data I propose a new voting system:
We all get one vote for who we want and one vote for who we absolutely do not want.
We can call it the βplease for the love of god not Farageβ voting system
Not sure why Reform announcing theyβll scrap the Equality Act 2010 hasnβt provoked widespread alarm.
They want to torch our human rights framework AND repeal our right to protection from discrimination.
A smile and a shrug on BBC News.

That's right, why trust Brexiters?
Brexit is the direct cause of a massive drop in UK GBP and loss of trade with the EU.
