Ladles and jellyspoons… Happy April Fool’s Day from sunny Tenerife!
Yes, I am the bloody fool – turned up for a meet-up with Tez on the wrong day. Classic Tim, eh? But hey, I figured while I’m out and about, I’d take you lot on a surprise saunter through El Camisón, Parque La Paz, and beyond.
In this live wander, we chat about:
• My wife Christine’s recovery (she’s doing better!)
• Tech talk with DJI Pocket 3, livestream setups & drone rules
• My epic blunder that left me with a bruised leg (yep, caught it on camera)
• Coffee, croissants, and the joys of watching gym-goers pile into the pastry shop
Oh – and I nearly moved into one of these apartments we pass. Tiny! Wheelchair nightmares!
Loads of shoutouts, laughs, and little gems as always. Stick around till the end for a heartfelt thanks, a bit of camera geekery, and me possibly losing the car (again).
LIKE, SUBSCRIBE & hit the bell so you never miss a ramble from yours truly. And don’t forget, Monday-Wednesday-Friday at 5:55pm, and Tuesday-Thursday morning strolls – we’re always up to something.
Cheers for joining me, legends!
