    Happy Monday, faggots.

    A very chilled weekend was had by yours truly. Boozes, foods and rugby were the main events.
    I did look at my bikes and briefly think about going for a ride yesterday. It’s the thought that counts, right?

    Watched that Peter Jackson “They Shall Not Grow Old” programme on BBC2 last night. Briiliant.

    Good wasn't it. Incredible how much difference it makes putting into colour.

    Afternoon Reprobates, woke up and didn't realise it was Monday at first...then remembered I was riding in which was a bit better. Now a bit knackered but there are free sarnies and some cake in the office so all is not lost. Onwards to back to back meetings for most of the rest of the day - joy!

    Evening plutt bugs,
    When were you last good for something bg?
    Busy and long day at work, finishing at 5:30 is makes the day seem longer than it has any right to be. Starting later is good though.
    Picking the old dear up from the airport tomorrow. She seems to have had a good time. Hopefully my pub arrival won’t be delayed as a result.

    You must be in shock :)

    Just finished packing for my 2 day Prague jolly tomorrow. I hear it's big on beer and strippers so it can't be all bad.

    Hello, players of the pink oboe.

    Nothing to report but thought I'd pop in and wish you all a good morning.
    Enjoy Prague, Stevo and try not to get on the receiving end of one of the strippers.

    Evening vegans,

    Bought tiles and a sliding door today and after that excitement I'm calming down with a nice glarse of red!
    Going to be some tile fitting tomorrow with a side of grass cutting!

    Morning, one handed web surfers.

    WfH today as I have to take Small and Shouty to fracture clinic. I have already sent 3 e-mails so I reckon it's time to sack off for a few hours.
    Coffee ahoy!

    Evening minjeeters,

    Minor diy and some job avoidance happened today. Also managed some boozes though not as much as Stevo will be putting away.
    More of the same tomoz though management is getting wise to my various and slightly pitiful excuses where work is concerned!

    C'mon, sluggards. It's Fryday.

    New T's&C's in work mean we can finish earlier on Fridays so I will be legging it out of here at lunchtime with a smile on my face and a skip in my step.
    Cinema tonight with Small and Shouty to see the Queen film, a chilled day tomorrow involving watching rugby and drinking boozes and then, say it quietly, riding a mountain bike on Sunday in The Mendips.

    However, before any of that I need coffee...

    Last night was good and free with lots of interesting Czech girls serving the food and drink. Felt a bit fuzzy this morming though.

    Now lounging around in the hotel lobby till the rest of them finish up then it's off to the airport.

    Afternoon noshers,
    Fairly quiet round these parts which is good. Off to the old dear’s shortly for some scoff as it’s younger sister’s birthday. Other than that keeping my head down.

    Yesterday was recovering from Prague and today is jobs n stuff, so back to normal-ish. Luckily Mrs. 666 has changed her mind and decided to go to Stropteens concert tonight, so I may get the hookers and blow in :)

    Evening. Today consisted of making people suffer on road bikes. I enjoy being a twat. Also, I thought about doing some work, then took the rest of the afternoon and evening off to recuperate.

    Evening sunshine coach passengers,

    Cold here but i braved it to dig up some spuds! Helped some friends doing a bit of house clearing and attended a meeting by the local authorities where they explained how to get a residents permit once the UK ditch us all.

    Dont you mean you've been learning how to get a UK residence permit once the garlic munchers evict you?

    Evening Mongles, been a tough day pedalling through the rain and cold unlike all the shanty drinking southerners who took the tube. Am now warming myself up with some central heating for adults (red wine).

    Turned into an ACOAD today at work. Thought a spot of subtle rudeness would do.the trick but not this time...may need power tools for tomorrow. Although on the bright side I'm working from home in the morning.

    WFH this morning while we were having some new flooring put down in the hallway. Then into work to find that norky minion had resigned. I am sad, those norks are irreplaceable.

    Mmmmmmmmm norks!

    Evening dweebs,

    Been trying to get six week old masking tape off the windows that we painted, now that is up there with watching paint dry! Managed a trip to the flicks to see the Grindlewald filmy thing, good film though a bit loud which meant I didn't get a snooze!!
