Le shuttle

I’ve used the chunnel so often this year that I got recognised (in the car) by one of the handlers at some point as I crossed several times in a row

It’s alright.

Why not go abroad in any month but August, which is generally accepted as the hottest month of the 12?

Traveling back this Thursday/sat. Couldn’t be bothered with schedules, so flexi this time back.
Currently in Rome for 48 hours and it’s fairly sticky.
I also got the fucking flu, that doesn’t help with tenperature.

Not as bad as 2019 or around then, but really not super pleasant.
Oh well, I wanted a bike ride…

I find UK always slow, went away Mon - Fri last week, Monday going out got offered earlier train and took it, then my mate did not want to even start putting his lid on until we were called (I suggested heading up at "imminent", then after going through UK customs he selected the left most lane - a tip for bikermates is never do this, they pull all the camper vans and coaches from all lanes coming through UK controls to an area on the far left for checking, then filter them back into the leftmost lane so it moves much slower - after all this we missed the earlier train.

Out of interest, there are very VERY rarely any UK Customs controls (or any UK Border Force or Police controls) for outbound traffic in Folkestone. I think you might be referring to the Eurotunnel security check where they swipe vehicles to check for traces of explosives.

True that.

Layabouts from Sodexo aplenty and the odd charming frog.

I'll say it again....Stress.

You'll find it gone within a couple of days being home

Maybe something in that as I went out on Sunday and rode nonstop for 170 miles with no discomfort between the shoulders.but really can’t think of what I could have been stressing out about ,

Tension rather than stress? Not actually stressed as such, but riding whilst a bit tense or tensing up.
