Update

As it turns out my little week off did me a lot of good, most of it was spent with the bike which was just fine with me. After sorting out a new lid for myself and some new road tyres for the GS, it was off to Holyhead to catch the ferry for a good few days riding round. Dublin's traffic wasn't a fun place to be on two wheels, more so when you can't filter between traffic however with the exception of nearly getting rearended on a roundabout in Swords, and getting stuck on a road in south Armagh that was caked in mud, the week was hassle free. I wish I'd brought a camera though. The bike was covered in crap after the mud which would have made an interesting photo, and I'd have liked one of it with the Atlantic but maybe next time.

When off I've also been introduced to diving. I've had a couple of goes now and apparently I seem to be doing better than alright at it as well. So far I've enjoyed the experience even if it is strange, and it may well be a good thing to get into. I can see me having another couple of goes at it, maybe that will help me decide.
