    Afternoon Gimps,

    Highlight of the day was the hound nearly catching a squirrel in the park earlier. Might go for a run later on and tonight I'll be doing my best to ignore New Year and just finish off my Christmas plonk. Bah humbug.

    Evening revellers and miserable gits,

    The booze trade screams a massive collective NOOOOOOOO! At the prospect of a dry Tlw.

    Been to the airport, the cinema (Star Wars latest offering) it was ok i suppose.

    Off out on the lash in a bit, will raise a glass to you all while uttering curse words.

    Happy new year ditch dwellers. I’m off to a party, but not TLW’s as I couldn’t stand the pace. Out for drinks again tomorrow.

    Happy New Year Mongs,

    Did nout last night but had a good lie in anyway so better press on with the NY resolutions. Pity I forgot to make any :)

    The first hangover of many for the year has been vanquished, I killed it to death by drowning it in beer. Tomorrow may be difficult as a result.

    Hny twunts,

    Had a lovely lazy day, only got out of bed to feed the animals and feed me n er.

    Watched a load of recordings which killed time nicely.

    Afternoon Wage Slaves and Skivers,

    Having a day off today to defer the pain of work but there's not a lot going on yet anyway. Got my hair shaved off, went to the tip with all the Xmas crap, drank coffee and did most of my tax return as the HM Highwaymen owe me again...

    Tomorrow is now today and it is indeed proving difficult. I feel it's been a long week and it should be Fryday by now. Managed to wobble in through the gloom this morning, really need to do more of this exercise malarkey. Just had a cup of coffee to try and revive myself, needed grappa in it. Less than half an hour and then I can get out of here.

    Evening stains of the w4nk,

    Grey but strangely warm day here today, did the market then spent the day in the barn building another nesting box for the chickens.
    Think I've got shingles as well but I'll let a professional diagnose it tomorrow!

    Speaking of doctor type stuff, I've just been to see the consultant to see what the MRI scan showed about my dodgy shoulder. Torn tendon apparently and needs keyhole surgery to fix. So no skiing or downhill for a bit - what a bummer :(

    Morning femenine product testers,

    Blowing a hooly here so I'm locking myself in the tractor barn to do woodworky type stuff. Doctor is still on his holidays so my possible shingles will have to wait a day or two! Lets hope I don't get deaded because of it.

    Toodles.

    Morning walking dead,
    Got a hacking cough and sore throat, I think it's caused by me sobering up so I'm going to the pub later to fix it. Could that be what's caused your itching bg? Actually it's probably something else, you really should be more careful where you put it.
    I'm bloody starving, I think I'm going to turn inside out soon so am going to lunch early. I'm going to miss more of the fun and games as the retail guys are being dragged into the bosses office one by one, not entirely sure what's going on as I can only hear the odd bit. Something about bullying and picking on someone. I can guess who it is and I can see why, he asks for it in many ways.

    Evening Pimps n Gimps,

    First day back wasn't too bad so eased myself in with coffee and delegation :) No pedallimg as I risked getting blown off. I deserve some plonk anyway, and there are open bottles in the fridge which will go off soon I reckon.

    bg, I had sciatica a good few years ago but you probably don't want to hear about how bad it was...

    Working from home was meant to mean a bit of exercise before and possibly afterwards hasn't worked out to plan

    Evening fungal infection sniffers,

    Day of indoor woodworkery due to more shocking weather, the man cave/workshop is coming on.

    More diy followed by a trip out to watch the rugby at Angouleme.

    Another day not riding as it was tanking down must do some tomorrow as some bastard left loads of biccies and chocolate out in the office today. Got a meeting with one of the big cheeses from the Kingdom of Far Far Away tomorrow, could be interesting so no hitting the grog tonight!

    On the bright side we booked our summer hols and didn't get totally shafted on price for the first time in aeons as Stropteen breaks up in late June after her GCSEs. Unfortunately Strifey has compensated for this by booking an expensive hotel :roll:

    Morning freaks,

    Rugby was a good trip out last night, today there are menial domestic tasks to be carried out, this is not pleasing.

    On the plus side it's not raining!

    Toodles.

    Off out in a bit to get some Turkish take away for dinner then round to my cousins birthday bash. She emailed last night to say bring some warm clothes as their boiler has gone kaput an they're not sure if it can be fixed in time for the party ...sounds like we're in for a great evening :roll:

    Afternoon dog egg lickers,

    Talking of dogs eggs, the hound took a massive dump this morning then went and trod in one of last nights 'presents'. He topped it off this evening by throwing up on the sofa - lucky we have covers for them!

    Apart from that, usual Sunday sizzle. Pedalling and work tomorrow.

    Afternoon dingleberries,
    I made it into work today because I don't feel I should suffer alone, some of these barstewards should have some of this. Had to drive because I'm even weaker than my usual weedy self. There were cakes which definitely helped brighten my day. Going to bunk off shortly because they don't deserve too much of my slightly reduced awesomeness.
