    Morning ladies,
    Today I have to decide between going out to play on my bike or going back to bed. I think I'll be play out on my bike though.

    Who formally of the who? I'm not even in my 50's and haven't heard of them. Must have been cheap tickets then. Besides he appears to have a superfluous e in his surname.
    Also very glad it's Friday, unfortunately no cafe for me today as I have to take the girl in to school for a while. I did have a couple of fry ups yesterday though. Went to the cafe for lunch knowing I wasn't going today, got home and the wife had done a fry up knowing I wasn't going to the cafe today. Hoping for a quiet day without too many silly questions, unfortunately I doubt it will happen. Need to go in search of biscuits.
    Onwards and upwards...

    Maybe it's a missing 't' instead and he's one of those kn0bs who starts arguments about head protection in the serious bits of the forum.

    Had enough driving for now. I am bolloxed and probably have a lot of work to catch up on. Don't think I'll look at my work emails.

    Sunday bloody Sunday

    Up early to meet some friends for a ride, reasonable start time of 8.30 doesn't work when you are cycling 30 miles to meet them

    Later is a few jobs and probably a couple of pints at the local

    Gives them a bit of an advantage if you've already done 30 miles. What happens after the ride / pub - 30 miles back?

    Morning Losers!

    Nice day was had yesterday with some friends, though got p1ss wet through when we went out for only 5 minutes! The night was then ruined when I tried to leave at about 11:30, only to find the car won't start at all. We spent about 20 minutes jumping it, gave up and rang the RAC, who said they'll be anything up 2 hours. Well sod that. Friend ran me to my parents, and we'll sort it out tomorrow (which is today).

    So long story short, looks like this is going to be an expensive birthday but with absolutely nothing in it for me.

    Laters!

    Meet them half way? Lazy feckers :)

    Had a bit of a lie in but still tried for some reason. Also have some work to catch up on but can't face doing it today. Tomorrow may be busy...

    Good day nut jobs,

    Horrible stormy night in the south Vienne region, found out the roof leaks into our bedroom, rain must have been horizontal as all the tiles look ok!
    More rain today so the grass will grow several feet before i get chance to cut it. In other news our gite is renting out nicely, bookings for the next month already in the bag.
    Had boudin noir (black pudding) for breakfast, not as good as a proper Bury one but not bad.

    Mehning Losers!

    Slept well last night, though could have happily slept a few more hours! The Volvo has been revived. Turns out it was 'just' a dead battery. Bought one from the RAC man who fitted it and tested it all in the rain. Cost me £136, but meant it was all done on a Sunday afternoon in the rain, and it comes with a 5 year warranty.

    Today, retard minion is in, and there's less and less to do each day. My other minion is joining us at 1:30 due to reduced opening hours, so that will restore my sanity a little, though only a little.

    I need a cheap and healthy week, so I'm going to buy a dozen eggs later, and see how many meals I can get out them.

    Morning bell sniffers

    Looks a lovely day out there, got the pigs to feed, grass to cut and any other tasks management thinks i need to have done!

    No egg based dietary polava here, just the usual bread, cheese, red wine, garlic, frogs legs, snails etc!

    Morning,
    I've got the day off to pick the missus up from the airport later so the day should be spent doing some shopping and last minute cleaning to get the house ready for her return but I think I'll go out on my bike instead.

    Morning all,
    How can it be Monday already? Not impressed. Had to drive in this morning as I need to get back to take the girl in to school later and talk to them about what possible contingency plans for next year. Beyond that I have an optimistic hope for a quiet day, somehow I doubt it. Anyway, I have tea so now must seek biscuits.

    You lot are up early. I don't do mornings very well. especially as most of mine was spent writing slides for a presentation next month - yawn. Time for home soon as wifey is out tonight. At least there is some pedalling to be had tomorrow.

    Tuesday

    Morning Losers!

    So yesterday was a dreadfully boring day! However I did get to leave early to collect some auction items. Came out with an ancient TomTom (It's like an apple! It's huge!) a few cameras, one being a polaroid, and then 5 litres of WD-40 with a spray applicator! I'm keeping the WD-40 and selling the rest.

    Today, I'm back to work, doing not much. Yay. Roll on 4pm!

    It's all very well having a plane but does the neighbour have his own runway as well? That much land would cost a couple of quid round here.
    Lovely sunny morning here, but I had to drive in again as I have to go and take the girl into school later. Might manage to pedal back this afternoon at least. Other than that the day will mostly involve customer avoidance whilst drinking tea. Onwards and upwards...

    Morning,
    Back to work Tuesday. Had a good long weekend of bikes and kids and being fed by others. Got the wife back yesterday as well so now I'm at work looking through the photos she got on the gopro of some big mountains. Later I might do some work as work has been asked of me. I have registered my disappointment at this task allocation.

    I think you're confusing him with tech.

    Evening gits, had an irritating day dealing with bastard tax inspectors and stupid rulesmin far away places. But the pedal home was good - less than an hour which is a bit of a record for me this year.

    Wednesday

    Morning Losers!

    Work is desperately boring at the moment. I really need to find them something to do, or maybe I'll do some work instead. My problem is that all my work is done at my desk, which is where annoying minion is!

    I've been looking at Body Weight Fitness and routines for that, so will give that a go. Hopefully it'll help shed some pounds, without shedding some pounds.
