    Morning bumders

    Today I was planning on servicing the bikes but I don't know if I can be bothered, depends how cold it is outside. Got some uni work to be getting on with too so might just do that.

    Full cooked breakfast and a pile of bacons has been consumed. Just deciding upon what to do today. Winds are pretty strong and picking up so nothing too adventurous I think. Maybe just some online browsing to see if there are any nice bikes in the sales.

    Later......

    Indoors, fire lit, two espressos in me already.

    Today will be mostly eating, and watching telly with the kids.

    Bike wise with some fettling on junior's newly fitted x3 shifters on his 24" bike and a little obsessive polishing of mine with some muc-off miracle shine.

    Injah today. If you ever get the chance to fly Jet Airways - don't bother. Went round Noida in Delhi and a lot of angry demos about the poor kid who was murdered. Went cycling - well on the back of a pedal rickshaw. Learned that if you turn your watch upside down then it shows the time in Injah. G&T followed by lamb biryani. HNY to those in the UK.

  • Afternoon Losers!

    Sheeps - You're not blown up! Well done that man!

    Today, I have slept terribly again, which is surprising considering I met my friend with benefits in Manchester last night, I was knackered, but am struggling to sleep. I've been feeling ill recently, but I don't know why, must be the aids. Good kind though, so it's not all bad.

    Lots of work for the rest of the day and tomorrow. Whoop-da-fookin-do.

    Laters!

    It was superb thanks. Hope you have an equally impressive belated Christmas.

    I assume you've just come back to give them time to clean out all the ditches before heading back again?

    We actually have spent a fair amount of time in ditches!

    ive got a bit of time off then should only have a month or so left out there before end of tour. Christmas in afghan was actually pretty good considering the location but it is nice to be home whilst it is still fairly festive.

    Afternoon

    Body still hurting after beer/2 bottles of wine and half a bottle of champagne - was a good night :)

    Today was cycling back from macc, washing cars and now thinking about doing some work before going out again later.

    Sheepsteeth - welcome back
  • Welcome back sheepy.

    Back from Taunton to the parentals place for the evening. Yesterday was a llllloooonnnnngggg day. Why is it as a single girl you get treated like some kind of scarlet woman at a wedding? Incredibly tedious after a while so gin helped make the day more bearable. As did the people watching. Some people must have amazing mirrors to think that they look good enough to go out when they look in them. What they see is not what I see...

    Lazing around being cooked for and watching kids films now. Good times.

    Evening All

    Wild and Windy has been the order of the day where I am and has been since 24th, when you are trying to move a jackup in this sea state, it is nigh on impossible to get a weather window.

    Should be back with you around the 7th

    Internet is intermittant though I will try to keep abreast of you all.
    I'm going to blow the bank on a new build ( within reason ) NOW DONE!!

    Evenin' 'tards,

    Good to see you're still alive sheeps...

    Have spent the last 3 days with the parentals in the windswept/rainlashed North East - no internet connection but plenty of free food & drink and Sky Sports to keep me entertained. Back darn Sarf now just in time to avoid the overpriced nightmare of New years Eve tomorrow.
