So trip to Cardiff, good and bad. Started okay Mrs luv wanted to go to the roof bar at The Botanist. Decent enough Then on to The Head of Steam which is a cracking craft beer bar and had a nice pint. This is where it goes wrong. I'm happy to have another but Mrs luv wants to find another place. We try a few but I'm not drinking Coors or Carling so it's not going well. I suggested Brewdog out of desperation and Mrs luv is getting annoyed at me turning down pubs. We're the only ones in there and some surly bloke serves us. Mrs luv's pint of cider is flat (not supposed too be) I mention it and the bloke pours a little into another glass and says no it's not. I walk off and try it give it to Mrs luv and it's flat so I take back. He's got an attitude and said what other one do you want then but it's on the same gas?
Kept calm but said okay just give me a refund and we'll go somewhere else. He ****s about for a bit and can't sort it, I tell her to go **** himself and we leave.
Great meal after that though. Hate Cardiff still.

So really, deep inside you, even though you told him to go **** himself your brain and conscious wanted to tell the Mrs to go **** herself for her part

Operation tomorrow to save the sight in my left eye, right one's ****ed, can see light but not much else. Anyway today could be my last day posting if it goes tits up like the right one did, could be anything from 3 days to 8 weeks before I get any vision back. They're really not sure, think they've prepared me for the worst with 8 weeks but have said at least 6 weeks before I can drive again, even if it goes well.

Saturday if you mean the Pope. At least they haven’t cancelled the football like that nonsense when the Queen died. Hope sausage fingers has the good grace to die in summer when the time comes.

I was thinking yesterday, because I've never been to Rome, I'd like to see the interior of some of these buidlings, minus the Pope and queues of people without their smart phones. The artistic beauty created by humans, with the place currently being stunk out with a dead body, we have some strange traits.

Fabulous (but rather expensive) city - went there for my honeymoon back in 1990 - was more into the antiquity of the Empire than the Christian religious aspects tbf - but the Vatican and Cistine are quite incredible ... we stayed in a small hotel close to the Colosseum and most of the 'sights' were walkable from there ...

It’s not all that tbh. Once you’ve seen one church you’ve seen them all.

There's a church in Gravesend with Pocahontas statue outside - vague memories that I use to use their grounds to cut through from the high street to one of the lower car parks - I've never been inside the church and didn't spot Meeko in the ovegrowth....

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pocahontas
In March 1617, Rolfe and Pocahontas boarded a ship to return to Virginia, but they had sailed only as far as Gravesend on the River Thames when Pocahontas became gravely ill.[55] She was taken ashore, where she died from unknown causes, aged approximately 21 and "much lamented". According to Rolfe, she declared that "all must die"; for her, it was enough that her child lived.[56] Speculated causes of her death include pneumonia, smallpox, tuberculosis, hemorrhagic dysentery ("the Bloody flux") and poisoning.[57][58]

Pocahontas's funeral took place on March 21, 1617, in the parish of St George's Church, Gravesend.[59] Her grave is thought to be underneath the church's chancel, though that church was destroyed in a fire in 1727 and its exact site is unknown.[60] Since 1958 she has been commemorated by a life-sized bronze statue in St. George's churchyard, a replica of the 1907 Jamestown sculpture by the American sculptor William Ordway Partridge.[61]
