Hello and welcome to my Blog, my name is Chris, a bus driver for First Mendip based in Wells, Somerset. I am Chair and H&S rep for the depot branch of Unite the Union. Married to Fiona, we live in Midsomer Norton near Bath, with Boots the cat. My main hobby is Amateur Radio and I hold the call sign G4KVI. I am the repeater keeper for GB3UB and MB7UB. I have a fascination for the weather and all things to do with nature and science. As a Christian I worship, when shifts allow at St. Nicholas Church in Radstock. These are my observations on my life, both at work and at home.

Furloughed

I am currently furloughed from my Bus driving job as a result of having diabetes. I'm obviously not ill and its often frustrating not to be able to do things like DIY. However, its for a very good reason. I have though been able to some online courses and, of course play lots of radio and pick up a couple of awards.



It's my birthday coming up and my Wife very kindly bought me two new aerials.

One a 50/2/70 vertical and the other a 2/70 beam. The vertical is up and working extremely well.
