    If I offered mine it would be like my favourite downhill run at Bike Park Wales - 'Enter the Dragon' :)

    Evening Wasters,

    Just about to get stuck into some Thai take away and poncey French plonk. The only downside is that the women have hijacked the remote control and Strictly is on the box :roll:

    That'd be why I'm in the next room looking at a computer screen. I'm on some Swedish beer at the moment. Not a bad drop, bit more bitter than your average lager.
    Old man is recovering well from the surgery. He managed to sit in a chair for a bit this afternoon. Back in there tomorrow.

    Sunday

    Lots of tidying up needs to be done after a party last night. It was a vinyl and vino night, except I drank cider. Some decent tunes, the old classic American pie was a hit

    Later will be a ride if the wind drops followed by the local

    Afternoon tw@s,

    Well last nights dinner party went well, i got all mastercheffy and turfed out some decent grub while ensuring my guests were reasonably lubed! When mrs13 took a wee tumble fracturing her elbow so once i felt fit to drive this morning we've given the French health service a bit of a workout and now the poor dear has an arm length cast!
    Guess that's me ironing sheets for our future guests.

    Toodles

    Youngest rugrat did the same in the summer. He still isn’t ironing :D

    Fingers still crossed.

    Did a few weights, let the hound off the leash in the park and sipped some tea so far. Will get a few things together for the next Bike Park Wales jaunt on Thursday when I'be done my task list cor the day.

    Cheers! I think!

    Morning anal beads,

    Quiet day yesterday though it did involve an over weight trailer full of horse muck.

    Today I have been decanting wine for boxes into bottles, don't know why but it'll look a bit hayer clarse come party night.....apparently!

    Onwards to loafing an tv based motorsport.

    Balls! The alarm went off this morning so it must be Monday. The days all merge into one for retired old fogeys like bg. Trying not to do too much work at the moment, head's not really very with it. Going to go and visit the old man later. Had a call from the lad earlier. He's going to Milford Sound tomorrow and then has booked himself a go on a canyon swing and a zip line. Damned fool boy.

    Evening Gits,

    Old dear was taken in hospital in the early hours of the morning with pneumonia so a tense few hours trying to get through to someone on the ward to see how she was doing. Fortunately seems OK and on the antibiotics but will wait and see when they send her back to the home (hopefully). No need for me to drop everything and head North so far but am on standby with a full tank of diesel.

    Sheite!

    The only reason you're not a victim is because you enjoyed it.
    Poxy alarm went off again this morning, I was sound asleep at the time which made it even more annoying. Another day in delightful, sunny Hanworth, except it's not sunny or delightful. Off to visit the old man in hospital after work, then on to drinks with the neighbours. I really could use a drink.

    Evening Wasters,

    The old dear is doing OK in hospital but won't be going home yet.

    I've been keeping myself busy with pedalling, food and coffee. Need sleep, 'specially as the Kingdom of Far Far Away has organised a frikkin conference call for 8am tomorrow, the tw@t's.

    Morning bacon lovers,
    I appear to have a mild hangover so it must be Thursday, but everything else is telling me it's Wednesday. It's really confusing and my tiny mind can't cope. Maybe I should go to the pub tonight just to make sure.
    Had a very excited call from the lad yesterday, he'd had a great day going out to Milford Sound and then got offered a job. The job is on a dairy farm right at the bottom of the South Island of NZ. I know Bird likes fisting a cow but I'm not sure that's my idea of a good time.
    Anyway, onwards and upwards...
  • Stevo_666

    Or onwards and westwards tomorrow. Barring any emergencies I'll be headed for the Valleys tomorrow afternoon and a spot of uplift on Friday 8)

    Old dear still in hospital. She's OK but its not pneumonia and they're still trying to find out what's wrong so she's staying there for now. Fingers still crossed.

    You really did tell her then didn't you bg, unfortunately that now means more chores for you.
    Looks like being related to a crudder is bad news in more ways than one with the number of hospital visits being had. You'd think just being related to us was punishment enough. Busy day at work and it's grey and moist outside which sucks donkey balls. No pub tonight for me either.

    Evening Ballbags,

    In Welsh Wales where the local served up 2 steaks and a bottle of plonk for £20. Just enough fuel to go downhilling tomorrow. Though I may have a full Welsh brekkie as well tomorrow morning :)

    At least the crappy household chores are being done correctly!

    Morning weasels,

    TFIF for some, normal day for others. Got homemade bacon and eggs to look forward too and a mate visiting for the weekend who is working near Paris, beers will take a pasting.
    Also bought a new petrol strimmer yesterday, the old one was proving that you buy cheap you get cheap sh1t!

    Back from Sheepsville.

    Quite an eventful day, tried the new jump run and it was great, managed to sprain my shoulder so I'm now bloody one armed bandit and also had a chat with Manon Carpenter who is a lovely lass.

    Morning gusset lickers,

    Damp and moist here, pigs and chickens fed which wasn't too easy as mate arrived last night and we set about the wine and beer........oh dear!

    More garden based activities post breakfast.

    Tlw- what chainsaw do it you have? Might need something a bit more reliable than my Aldi effort!
