Hello and welcome to my Blog, my name is Chris, a bus driver for First West Of England based in Wells, Somerset. I am Chair 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 at St. Nicholas Church in Radstock. These are my observations on my life, both at work and at home.

A Bit of overtime
Rest day working today. Long day 'Frome up' so 10 hours 'in the bag'. Though now I wish I hadn't done it. Feeling a bit knackered! Did have a strange one though. Just passed a stop and about 100m on a lady was waving. I do not stop unless someone is at the stop so carried on. Arrived at the next stop and the lady plus man appeared. She was not happy and gave me the I was at the stop etc. etc. Anyway there was nobody booked at the stop, further check of the ticket showed it was yesterday!! Apology accepted! Was planning to go out tonight but the wind is over 30mph so don't fancy a trip through the lanes in the dark.

Holiday (again)
Holiday time again, but looking forward to going back it's been a very busy week. In no particular order I have -
Fixed the miss fire on the bike and given it a service.
Replaced the equipment at MB7UB.
Cut the grass
Planted out loads of veg (slugs already enjoying them!!)
Loads of relaxing mornings. (no 0310 alarm calls)
Treated Fiona to a very nice birthday
Glad the weather has been good as Harvey has enjoyed some nice walkies.

Health and safety
Not too bad few days. Holiday time, and I HATE holiday's, seems to bring out the idiots. One thing I have noticed, and you may want to see if I am correct. Everyone seems to be H & S mad when it comes to holidays. Is the pool safe, is the heater safe, is the food safe.Nothing wrong in that, apart from when they make the journey to the holiday H & S seems to go out the window. Bikes obstructing number plates and lights, vehicles overloaded. Making a long journey after a day at work. The list goes on. Still as long as the pool is warm!!!
