Naturally enough we had a few nice pints of stout in Dumigan's afterwards. Lovely evening altogether.

Went round to Kircubbin to help a mate take his boat out of the water for winter, but it was too lumpy, so gave him a hand sailing back down to Portaferry in the evening.

Jesus, the amount of coverage the BBC website gives Reform is ludicrous. For such a small, niche party. Compared to, say, the Lib Dems they have 1/9th the MPs, and 10 times the BBC webpage space.

I admit, I might possibly have been wrong in my admiration and yearning for Xabi Alonso as Liverpool manager.

Neighbour Ray and myself did 150 miles today round NI. Took a couple of photos at Murlough Bay, and had fish and chips at Ballycastle. Home now, tired and happy. #motosky #motorcycles #motorbikes

Neighbour just had a New Bike Day - a Suzuki V-Strom 800 DE. Comfy riding position, second hand, but as clean as a whistle. We're planning on heading out Sunday. #motosky #motorbike #motorcycle #suzuki (repost due to image fubar).

I can confirm Achill Island is stunningly beautiful. We got caught in some rain Sat morning, but it was dry from lunchtime on. Did a run round Achill then down to Lenaun. 600 miles in total over 3 days on the bike. #motosky #motorbikes #motorcycles #WildAtlanticWay

Right, that's the van loaded with the CRF450, time to go to the motocross track, and get lapped by a bunch of 8 year olds. There's no dignity in growing old. #Motosky #motorbike #motorcycle

Did 190 miles today, up through the Sperrins, through Stroke City, past Ballyliffin to Clonmany. I've booked a campsite there for a couple of days next week, then back home through Buncrana and Omagh. Ass moderately sore. Great day out though.

Got out on the bike this evening. So good to be back out again. They're resurfacing a lot of the roads round Tandragee, so had to take it very easy. I'll get the top box on and get the luggage ready to go, then I can head off somewhere for a weekend.
