    Official Tour de France mug, lovely. Just right for my morning triple shot latte. Best present was a big hug and kiss off my little girl and boy!

    Mine clubbed together and bought me a K-edge mount, which is very nice. However I'm playing a very second fiddle as it's also my youngest's 18th and so all about her today :lol:

    A 7am ride for 3 hours and home for a pair of Superman lounge trousers, a bag of Munchies chocolates and the book Papillion which I have been close to buying myself for the past few weeks. A good day.

    1st child born on Thursday. Woke up to a cup of tea and a box set of The IT Crowd. Well done daughter! (and wife).

    The shine was slightly taken off it all though when I bought my Dad's present (bottle of port) and realised I was actually down on the whole deal by a couple of quid. Ah well...

    That's fabulous.

    My youngest (9) came downstairs at 7.30a.m (was just about to watch the Nocturne) and gave me a homemade card with a picture of a yellow bicycle on it and a bag of sports mix. She sat on my lap for the whole of the programme.

    I then went out for a ridey pidey and my eldest (11) was probably kicked out of bed to get the old man a card before he came back. I may have to review the will...

    My eldest hasn't bothered with me today, I feel quite let down :)
    Having said hat, he only passed his test last week and got his new car this week so has more important things on his mind :)

    Bits of choc' but helmet I have dropped numerous hints about did not appear today grrrr. Perhaps cos I just spent a bit on winter bike and wheels for summer bike last week?
    Avoided hoovering tho' by staying out on bike all afternoon so actually quite a success

    I got a really cool mug with "I'm cranky 'till I've had my coffee" with a picture of a crank set on each side, plus taken out to dinner after they came and supported me at a race.

    After telling the missus not to spend much I got a tablet, so I can now watch the cycling whilst sat on the loo.

    Also got took to the pub for lunch (after buying a pram), which was nice

    Mr Logic got 4 homemade cards (2 each from our 2 kids) and a lie in. More importantly(!) it was my birthday yesterday and I got a splendid yellow campagnolo top and a 90 minute cycle.
