Morning bumders
It's Friday. Last day of looking after small child for the week. It's been hard work. Easier day today though, nursery this morning and the zoo this afternoon. Then off home for a weekend of tennis and lazing around. Possibility of bikes at some point too.

Morning Losers!
Today is the longest day of the year, enjoy it while it lasts. It's looking miserable here, so I imagine it's going to be a long day of depression.
Bought my season ticket for Bury last night, so I feel good, however looking at my bank account isn't. I'm now passed my overdraft and payday isn't until Wednesday :? Me thinks July will be a penny saving month.
Work then back to Bury tonight for me.
Laters!

Manky morning here with thick mist and the expectation of rain. On the plus side, there's no wind, so whilst the ride in was sweaty, it was fast. I can live with that.
Today we fire up The Beast and unleash hell with untold powers of frikkin lay-zur beams. Sharks, sadly, will not feature and, frankly, that dissapoints me.
The weekend will feature hosue guests and continueing race-car build. There may be some bikes, but it's looking doubtful. Poo.
Today, however, there will be fried piggymeats of all description, and these will be consummed with all gusto at approx 8.30. ......if I haven't burned the building down before hand......
Onwards! To coffee! To bacons! And FIRE!

I am a little jealous of your day today
after that is, more spreadsheets and more online arguing with the powers that be.
Onwards to coffee's!

Beautiful day here. The bike club are going out for a summer solstice ride/drink tonight. I'm gutted I can't make it as I'm going to a wedding of someone I don't know! And to make mattes worse I'm driving.
Good ride last night though. Up to 4th in the leader board on one section and beat my pb on another section by 1 min 10 secs 8)
Later bumders
Not a lot planned for the weekend as the forecast is looking unsettled so no point in making plans then having them ruined. I'll just go with the flow and see what happens.
Time for some tea and a few calls to rearrange parcel deliveries. I can make that look like I'm actually working too.
Later......
Work meh will be cancelled out by the pub later
That's about it
work wise got nowt
New frame didn't arrive yesterday which made me a little sad. Apparently it is in the back of a van driving around Nottingham as we speak, so should be with me imminently. Today will feature what you 'normal' folk call a '9 til 5' (that means 9 while 5 for you weirdo northerners.)
The beers and comedy.
Onwards! To pretending to work whilst purchasing bike parts and getting utterly Matthew h'd!
going to rearrange the garage so bikes are more accessible, out for bacons and a fair bit of loafing!
may also get properly Matthew h'd tonight!!

Early start and late finish = not the best Friday but it as at least Friday!
I may have to go on the hunt for bacon too.
Another day of work and house stuff...
Today the office leaver has supplied Krispy creme donuts... after the first one i feel sick...

Bacon butty for breakfast today in celebration of me doing 250km already this week. Some of which were on an actual mountain bike. Got another 7hours to do before the end of Sunday so I can claim my Strava badge. Although I may need a couple more to make sure I finish top of the IOM country leaderboard.
To help with this goal, I'm taking a half day today.

Still, slept like one of Gazlars chloroforming victims last night, I've had plenty of coffee today and there's a Thai Chicken curry with my name on it for lunch. So not a bad day so far...

The mothership has decided to totally rearrange my carefully timetabled weekend. I now have to go to the farm tomorrow for helping my uncle sort out fat lambs for market. This will mean pain on Saturday afternoon but I will get fed all day and it's the Grandmotherships birthday tomorrow so I will earn will points for visiting her all day.
Waylander will shortly be my client it seems... in the legal sense not anything else!
Following a frankly sh*t year of injury and illness, my body has for the past three days decided that I need to suffer from hayfever. Luckily various medical products seem to be holding the torrents of snot at bay so it's not too bad now.
Workmeh for another four hours then I'm going off round Rendlesham on the 456 to see if I can still ride a bike.
Woop!

It will be some race to see who ends up in the ditch head backwards!

i think i will be taken out pretty fast! and my kidneys on e-bay.
I wouldn't bid for your kidneys (nor my own TBH)
Highly recommended
Will have to meet some of you in real life for a beer one day (bar GT obviously)
have you changed professions?
Afterparty for the ccc2cc?
Gt can come if he brings his mum. I don't fancy her chances of survival.
What date is it? I fancy a decent drink - but am short on dates as I have stupidly agreed to a family holiday and doing JOGLE this summer

Sat 28th Sept I believe, Gazlar can confirm. That's if his bad aids worms haven't killed him off already.
