Morning Losers!

I could have slept for a week after my weekend. It's been epic! This one could be the same too, I'm not sure I can cope with this sort of lifestyle :lol:

This is the last week with the minion, and I have a lesser-minion shadowing us this week as he'll be helping me over the summer. Not sure how this will all work out, but we will see.

Judo later, I need the excercise, I've picked up a beer belly over this weekend (well, I may have already had one, but it's more defined now!)

Laters!

    What a pity to be back in work after such a fine weekend. I now have a biking tan or will have once this redness dies down. A few beers were consumed along the way too.

    Another sunny morning spoilt only by the fact I have to be in here but it pays for shiny new things. Badminton tonight if my stiff ankle is up to it.

    Nothing much else happening so I'll go make some tea.

    Later......

    Greetings Maggots,

    Today is a crappy cold day, the sun's out but it's not doing much and we have these ice cold Berg winds that are real icy.
    Not too much on the cards for today, so it'll be a day of passing time on the interwebz until my meeting at 3PM

    Mornign all,

    Good weekend had, much discussion of houseing with the olds on Sat and a most enjoyable ride around Afan though im sure i was stalked round it...

    Today i will running audit reports at full speed to try and sneak out early for another ride. Also ordered a jo's tubeless conversion kit to see if i can get my rims to go over, and drop a pound from my freeride tubes will make life easier i hope.

    Morning self abusers...

    Today I feel humbled, had a few good race results recently so I was feeling cocky, I went into this weekend's NPS feeling like a Jedi.... only to have my ar5e handed to me on a plate.

    Onwards to licking my wounds and manning up some more...
    A berm? were you expecting one?

    I have a box full of patches with bits of tube attached - some are 6 years old and still get used/fixed!

    Morning Chiefs and Indians,

    Today I have stocktake and meeting. So far have managed to do very little as a little bit hungover. Task for after work is to buy a lawnmower as the weeds have engulfed the jungle outside my house, then washing one of the bikes ready to sell.

    Later

    Work. In charge still but its relatively quiet at the moment. New people starting which always makes things interesting as I can't be bothered to talk to them. Good weekend in the lovely sun. Friday night was a wine fuelled evening of gossip and picking apart my non existent love life with the girls. Saturday was spending too much shopping and then working. Sunday was a trip to Afan in the morning. It's not stalking if you are invited, they give you a lift and they keep waiting for you to catch up Waylander! I seem to have added to my collection of shin bruises which is fun. Then the afternoon lay on a sun lounger on the lawn at the farm to rid myself of the t shirt tan I am getting and earning will points with Grandma by visiting her although her and my Uncle are trying to set me up with one of their suppliers. I think my Uncle just wants cheap dairy supplies and engineering services. :)

    11 sleeps until the Isle of Wight festival.

    Weekend was good, put in an extra 17 miles on Sunday. The sun also brought out several parents with their off spring, one of which nearly fell over a 6 ft edge.

    Today consisted of no riding, but the view was still good. work wise, have little to do...

    Hello My Scuttlers

    Today is the first day of my fortnight off which has so far seen me clear out loads of junk, have a break for a bit and clear out my own junk, then clear some more junk. I have also made a dog playpen out of an old cheapo plastic covered greenhouse I found in the vast amount of junk and such that was at the house, put up some pictures, hang a mirror and now I'm about to have a bash at the garden, before taking all my junk to the local refuse tip.

    Later in the week I shall be getting the bike out and using it.

    now time to have another clearout of my junk whilst I picture misscmc sunbathing ;) (well its only fair seeing as I spent most of last week kidnapped)

    Evenin' window lickers

    First day of job-nouveau and I'm bored of induction! Still, plenty of reading to do to figure out my new toys, and boy, do I have some toys. My new mecha/death-ray combo is totally kick-arris.

    I got home and spent an hour working in the garden enjoying the sun, but I do need to get out on the bike. I have reasons to practice. Having said that, I did a local 16mile loop (mixed XC/tarmac) yesterday in a gnats-b*ll*ck under 1hr20. Next time, I'll do two of them! Next week, once I've worked out the new job location, I'll start pedalling in - can't be done with commuting by car. Now, an advantage with this, is that another local loop (12 miles) goes past the works back passage. I can see me hitting that after work on the odd occasion when the weather's good.

    Onwards! To tea! And lamb chops!

    Evening Saddle Sniffers,

    Long day at work, made slightly better by the office hotties wearing their short skirts again and stopping me from standing up for a fair bit of the day...just as well I could stay at my desk for most of it. Booked holiday today - going down to the Sarf of France in August so not a bad day all told.

    Good evening.

    Had a rather crap day. 2 exams, probably my worst two so far...but im bearing down on that all important 14th of June where i become free from all things education, for the next 3 months. (apart from August where i get my results, and my life will be over). Ragged my GT around on the road today, was a splendid ride....June the 14th is when i will fit my fresh Maxxis tyres and do some proper bike riding...offroad

    Have a good evening all!

    As you can't even tell what day it is, I think you're gonna fail.

    I'm not sure if that's meant to be a funny response or not, so
