Morning biatches.

Today will consist of going to the cemetery, Crib service at church and then heading over to my Mums where we'll be for a couple of days all whilst trying to entertain two very hyperactive 4 and 6 year olds :lol:

    Today will consist of sitting in the f*cking office seething with resentment.

    Average Wednesday really.

  • Usual christmas eve stuff this morning, wrapping, dropping gifts off at various places. The afternoon and some of the evening will be spent in the pub, it's my best mates birthday today so we always meet up for a few beers. The trick is to not get carried away and find yourself in a crap late night bar ordering shots as the clock rolls over into christmas day, done it once and never again!

    Usual Wednesday morning for me.

    I'm at work until lunch time. Today will consist of a little light Facebooking, making sure that 'Phil the tw@t' has sufficient liquid nitrogen to last until Sunday, and switching everything off that can go off for the christmas break.

    Unfortunately I doubt I'll be able to top that ^^^
    Sat in the office surrounded by people talking shite, much like any other day in that respect. Strange how more people have found their way into work when it's a short day with little work to be done and free food.
    Managed to get out for a few pints last night and will do the same tonight once everything is sorted for tomorrow.
    Onwards and upwards...
  • In work, finishing early. Lunch out with Mrs BBGeek where turkey and sprouts will be consumed.
    Then home to sleep it off in front of the fire. Muppets Christmas Carol is on later which is the best film ever made: FACT.
    Happy holidays everyone.

    We're already well into Christmas Eve and it's rocking' over here. Did a quick 40km ride this morning and saw a man cleaning a labrador's anus. Been out for a spot of lunch and some shopping, just watched Jacky Chan's First Strike on DVD and flicked on Eurosport Asia. It's a feast of cycling with 4 hours of highlights from the 2014 season. And what have they chosen to show?
    1. Tour of Lombardy - OK
    2. Ninety minutes of stage 21 of the Vuelta - which was a time trial....
    3. Jens Voigt's Hour Record....


    FFS...

    ....43 minutes. Not bad at all. Just got to survive until lunchtime now.

    Die Hard counts as a Christmas film right? (If I'm going to sneakily watch a film in the office, it might as well be something festive).

    We always watch the Patrick Stewart version, which is one of the best I've seen. If I had "It's a wonderful life", I'd watch that as well!

    Finally - official word from the powers-that-be that we can all go home.

    Merry f*cking Christmas to you all.
  • Breakfast
    Received new tyres
    Boiled a ham for tomorrow (60 min)
    Fitted new tubeless CX tyres
    Went out for a full english breakfast (somewhat disappointing)
    Went for a high intensity 90 minutes off road ride with the new tyres
    Bought some apples, carrots and a pineapple
    Cooked a pheasant curry

    Going out for a beer or two? :P

    normally work Christmas Eve, so its been nice to be off with the family.

    Though first thing I did go for a decent 9 mile run with a couple of pals. Since then I've enjoyed cleaning the masters, then been for a 13 mile family bike ride with a pub lunch at the end.

    Now watching family films with the kids whilst they drink hot chocolate.

    Left work at 1:15 because nothing was happening. Done all my wrapping and seem to be ready for tomorrow. Off to the pub soon then.
  • Did the Brassoing ,washing in washing out and hung out, kitchen cleaned , cooker polished , bathroom tiles re whitened.
    Then. Off to Whitby , Bothams egg and chips .Popped into see Dr Crank at the bike shop made a fuss of Mr Slinks the dog while Dr Crank was sat wrapped up in a blanket suffering from man flu.
    Started the Whitby routine 20 years ago with my first daughter now carrying it on with Grace .
    Whitby was fine and dry , fairly quiet but nice atmosphere , coffee at Shepard's Purse and did a couple of calls on the way home.
    Bath and clean the tiles down now.
    All the best

    We have two Christmas Days in our house. Today was the Hungarian Christmas. First time in his life that the little boy didn't have an afternoon nap. He was still running backwards and forwards across the bed at 8.30 pm. :roll:

    Just starting to wrap presents to take over to the family tomorrow.
