Periodic reminder that I’m not here any more. I’m mostly on Insta and somewhat on Mastodon. Currently I’m mostly posting about my dog’s knee surgery.
I took out insurance via @bennetts_bike which was underwritten by @lv. My motorcycle was stolen and I used the tracker to help the police recover it. There was some damage so I allowed the insurance to recover it which was handled by 4th Dimension Innovation LTD.
I'd really like to put the bike theft behind me. This has been a really upsetting period and I can't move beyond it until this is settled. I am already significantly out of pocket. And I am getting nowhere with getting my things back.
I would just like @bennetts_bike / @lv / 4th Dimension to do what they told me they'd do and return the personal items that I know they at least had and which were specifically not part of the settlement.
My tracker is now showing at a residential address in Kingston on Thames. Does whoever has it know I can track their every movement? This seems at best like a GDPR breach.
i believe, for the moment at least, i'm done on twitter. too many straws for this camels back. i am more routinely on the popular picture sharing site where you an expect pictures of vespas, dogs, and dogs on vespas. and i can be found on the obvious federated twitter replacement
Had an old friend and his sprog staying with me. They were playing a word game where you must remove one letter from a book title to change the meaning. I turned to my bookcases for inspiration and could only see The Count of Monte Cristo.

trying to embrace the misery of the season. my friend sue came round with her little chihuahua. brought a gift for harley, and one for me. along with beer, and an assortment of sweet and savoury food her mum had home-made for me. such kindness is making my scrooge routine harder.
