Morning Losers!
Half way through the week! We're nearly at the downward spin to the weekend, wooo!
I'm sleeping a lot better at the moment. Covering the light from a freeview box and turning our boiler off at night seems to be making a difference (the boiler was keeping my housemates up it would seem). Now we just need to convince the landlord that there's something wrong with the boiler!
I think I'll make (read: buy) chicken kievs tonight. Mmmm
Laters!

It takes as much courage to have tried and failed as it does to have tried and succeeded.

Half way through the week and another day with a full minion compliment. Despite this, the amount of work always seems to expand to keep everyone busy so expected easy days do not happen.
I’m ready for it all though. Good gym session last night and a hearty bowl of porridge this morning.
Getting used to this cakeless beverage thing now so for just now, at least, it is just tea.
Later……0 -
Came off the bike last night. According to Strava at just under 40kph..
Pretty sore today so i'm going for a sympathy vote lol.0 -
Morning Scuttlers

Mornin' exes and double-exes
Same ol', same ol' today, including bacons. Because I'm worth it.
Also trying to conbvince myself I have no current need for a full-susser in my life, even though a local purveyor has a lightly used, large, Golden Willow going cheap. A fancy bike will not make Clank look any less of a spaz on the trails, but sadly said purveyor have sold out of 'rad handling skills'.
Onwards! To second coffee! and fried piggymeats!How would I write my own epitaph? With a crayon - I'm not allowed anything I can sharpen to a sustainable point.

Morning Crudders,
Had a good curry and a beer or two last night but the coffee afterwards stopped me getting to sleep for ages, now feeling a bit knackered. Will try to summon up enough energy to go out on the bike a bit later but for now a bit of dossing is needed

I have mostly spent the last 2 days being totally fed up.
Have spent a couple of hours this morning in front of my SAD light and magically I feel a bit better.
Not much to report, except I'm going to ride round in circles tonight on the back of a horse. Some would find this utterly boring, for some reason it makes me happy.
At lunch I will be hunting down some high quality cake, to feed my addiction.
Kisses

That's a 'halogen hob' you're thinking of.
Having said that, sizzling bacons do make many people feel better.How would I write my own epitaph? With a crayon - I'm not allowed anything I can sharpen to a sustainable point.

Both bike have arrived, Shakira 2 is awaiting her re build, the yet un-named bike has been put together and pedaled round the car park here at work. Very pretty she is too.
Work is getting in the way of fun again, but i should get to prod it a bit later?0 -

Well you say you feel better but Im sorry what proof do you have that it works? Oh sorry wrong thread
Kev when you say nearly rode over Monkeys head Im presuming that was as a result of avoidance and not a failed attempt to capitalize on his misfortune.
Afternoon. Coffee being consumed to get me through a trip from aberdare to the land of elcap. Anyone off early next week btw to play bikes? I have a gap appeared in my social and sporting calendar.0 -

Ha ha, I was aiming for him but I missed! But no, I was riding right behind him and as I slammed the brakes on my front wheel started to wash out and I was going straight for him!! Luckily I managed to right it and ride around him0
