Hull's very own 'The Ukulele One’ is putting on a night of rock, folk, blues and classical at Hull’s infamous @TheAdelphiClub. I've been asked to play harmonica to Dr. Feelgood’s ‘Down at the Doctors’! DM me for tickets or £4.99 OTD Thurs 19 Dec 7.00pm https://t.co/3MLNRnBCxx
Karate update! On Sunday I attended a formal exam ('grading') in Bradford. Horrendous 3-hour experience, ending with 10 x 2 mins sparring v 10 different oppos with no breaks. Didn't expect to pass - some do, some don't - but was graded to 2nd Dan. Surveying update coming soon!
Last Saturday I swapped ladders and binoculars for gloves and gumshield to compete at my karate club's national championships in Sheffield. No medals for me on this occasion, but still a great day. Black Belt Open 45-54 Years followed by Black Belt Open (18+) Team Kumite.
Some interesting surveys over the last few weeks, with good examples of fatty drains, improv air bricks, asbestos fibres, slate v PVC damp proof course, damp 1700s cellar, and scary electrics. More on our FB, Insta, Google or LinkedIn #surveyor#surveyors#surveying#Hull

Back in #Withernsea! Any thoughts on Tesco Chives in gutter?! Perished underfelt to roof eaves. Historical woodboring beetle infestation in garage necessitating replacement joist. Last photo probably a label rather than an instruction... #surveying#Tesco#underfelt#stopcock
Structural & Damp Survey of 1840s Grade II Listed house in Beverley. Met a previously feathered friend who'd nested in a chimney flue, and the neighbours external first-floor toilet block extension has created a ‘flying freehold’ #surveying#RICS#Beverley#eastyorkshire
Structural & Damp Survey on 1960s chalet bungalow in Elloughton today. Rain held off until I got inside! Classic/common case of the outside ground levels being too high in relation to the damp proof course resulting in #damp#surveyor#RICS#eastyorkshire#elloughton#hull
Structural & Damp Survey on a 1970s bungalow in Leconfield today. Basking in the sunshine before the inevitable downpour. Needless to say I got a good soaking. Enjoy the sun when you can. Got to love this country! #surveyors#RICS#rpsa#eastyorkshire#leconfield#Beverley
Spotted these poor drowned friends recently on a Home Buyer Survey in Hornsea. If you have cold water storage tanks, please ensure tightly fitted covers to avoid bathing/showering in a rodent marinade. Nobody wants Weil's Disease! #surveyors#RICS#rpsa#eastyorkshire#hornsea
Morning all! I’m hiking in North Yorkshire and staying at a pub with very little light pollution. Strange that you can barely see northern lights colours with the naked eye or old one lens mobiles but with the more recent mobile phones you can see so much more. Happy weekend!
