    Got to visit the family this afternoon, and they are an hour and a bit away so no riding or live F1 for me :cry: Sky + to the rescue! The tricky think will be avoiding the result til about 730-8 when i finally get to watch it.

    any predictions other than his vettelness winning by miles running at 80% even without blown diffusers? anyone thing Di Resta might have a decent chance of a reasonable points haul?

    Lazy morning. I'll watch the GP then head out and do some tidying in the garden.

    I'll give the bike a clean later on, too.

    Bacons appears not to be a feature of today! Bit of an oversight, that.

    Going to try and find a new saddle somewhere. Turns out when I crashed, I bent the rails and cracked the shell, which means when I sit on it now it bends enough to activate the Joplin mechanism. Very useful, and uncomfortable :lol:

    Trouble is, lbs id closed on Sundays, so my only options are halfords or maybe coed y brenin or llandegla.

    morning all,

    aching after yesterdays ride, just consumed 5 eggs (scrambled) and 5 bacons (grilled) so Sunday has officially begun

    Not going to watch the F1 as i cant be ringed watching the same old thing, nothing exciting has happened recently, so i am losing interest.

    Peace

    Ta for the reminder.
    Rest of the day will be the usual struggle to focus on work instead of faffing about on interweb forums. Going well so far.

    Hola hombres,

    Woken up by the cnuts refitting the shop downstairs. Sounds like they're using artillery to do it.
    Spent yesterday alternating between sessioning a drop and trying to do wheelies in the woods. Actually managed a whole 4 turns of the cranks at one point. :oops: More practice required. A lot more. Shoulders and arms are a bit stiff this morning.

    Meh. Sunday. Meh. That is all.

    a quick ride round windy hill
    Is that Windy Hill on the M62? I've heard it's quite a good blast round there...

    Afternoon Earthlings.

    I'm playing in a cricket match this afternoon. I'm praying for rain as I really cba with it. I've calmed down over my MOT now, though not by much. Contemplating a brand new car now, looking at Suzuki Swift. Hmmm

    Anywho's, I'm off to buy some clothes for said cricket match, as I completely forgot I'd agreed to play, and that it was today. Oops.

    Been out and got the shopping & supplies and all that crap. F1 is getting a bit predictable this season so am off out for a swim with the nipper this afternoon and will make do with the highlights tonight if anything interesting happened.
