    Sunday - the middle of the weekend :)

    Can't sleep though which is pants, my body is broken after the wife 'treated' me to some petrol hedge trimmers - managed to fill the green bin and still haven't finished

    Today is a few early jobs and then into town to watch a cycle race

    Beers and bikes involved, what's not to like

    Morning Losers!

    Fantastic Saturday was had. I'm knackered and aching, but smiling.

    Today is pretty much a normal day for me. Nothing to report.

    Laters!

    Bit of a lazy day. May wash the Bruiser and put it up for sale later as I'm not really using it now I have the Panzer.

    Robocop is on the box later so will probably watch that.

    No work Monday :)

    Slow start after managing to get into the VIP tent yesterday, managed to drink my own body weight :)

    Today will involve watching the gp from yesterday, run into town to collect the car and then probably jobs whilst the weather is nice

    Morning Losers!

    Had a nice bit of a lie in today. I have a morning to do what I like (I should tidy and get some things on eBay really!) and start my new exercise routine. Then I'm over to my friends house for a bacon butty dinner, followed by a nice long walk to a pub for some tea.

    Laters!

    Morning all, at least it was until a short while ago. Fairly lazy weekend, been doing a few odd jobs between visits to the pub or eating with lots of lounging thrown in. More of the same today I think.

    Tuesday

    Mehhhning Losers!

    After yesterday epic walk (and I mean actual walk), and doing loads of exercises in the morning, needless to say I could have slept for about another 3 hours today. Instead I've had to get up for work, and pretty much every bone and joint in my body is complaining.

    Today I realise my minion is away on holiday for a couple of days, so it's just me for the morning, then retard minion joins me at 1:30. Yay.

    I want today to end asap.

    Laters!

    Good sleep, just not enough of it

    Today is working locally so I will get some commuting miles in and be home at a reasonable time - so double win

    Later will probably be more helping the wife with the garden

    Morning all,
    Bit chilly and a bit windy out there so I decided today would be a good day to try and MOT the 'rents car. This has nothing to do with being a fair weather cyclist of course. Now enjoying the calm before the inevitable storm. Much as I like a bank holiday the week after is always a pain in the aris'. Onwards and upwards...

    Afternoon,
    Why's everyone complaining about the weather? It's been lovely up here, bit overcast today but we haven't had any rain yet.
    Anyway, I'm not at work so just called in to check what day it is. I'll be going for a play in the woods later on my bike, that's the extent of today's plans.

    Boring day that felt like Monday. Had to defer my pedalling plans to tomorrow on account of this mornings p1ssing rain so hopefully tomorrow will be better as I'm going a bit cold turkey in the exercise front.

    Wednesday

    Morning Losers!

    Sounds like the North has been the place to be this Bank Holiday weekend, particularly the North West, as I'm sat here with bright pink arms and a pink head! Definitely need to buy me a new hat.

    I managed to break a website that I look after yesterday, and all this about 25 minutes before I finished work, so there was a lot of frantic changes being made. So much so, that I'm going to alter the whole website soon.

    Today I have to write up some minutes for a meeting I held last night, and then sit out the rest of the day hoping nothing happens so I can get on with my own personal work.

    This evening, more Body Weight Fitness. Seems to be going ok so far. My legs ached like mad after Monday, but that could have been the 4 hours of walking I did.

    Laters!

    Bit cloudy now :(

    Was meant to cycle into work, but feeling below par so I drove, which is rubbish because the family are away so I could have had a decent ride on the way home

    Morning all,
    Severe lack of being arsed this morning. Drove in due to laziness, should drop the car back to my folks' place tonight then I won't have to drive in tomorrow and might actually pedal. Pub later, tea and biscuits now.

    Morning bumblers, awoke to 80 new emails all of which spam so someones broken the spam filter on the Oulook phone app so tonnes of Vanquis card offers, Morrisons vouchers an dental implant offers are free to a good home.
    Had a "lovely" phone call from the mother who has now panicked and decided im going to get stuck by lightning an die on Sunday after she saw a weather report about thunderstorms but cant actually tell me where it was
    Over the road have el twerpo gardener in so I had to move his family of wheelie bins from the road so I could get off my drive. To top of the morning its drizzly. Plus note from the sound of someones bag they to cant be bothered sounding like bottles of something clanging away in there.

    Yes im in a glorious mood!

    Youll have to fight off the other half though she will no doubt put them on ebay for about a tenner each so keep an eye out for them on Monday!

    Minor update, its still raining here

    Minor boredom at work relieved by some pedalling. It was a bit moist and cool out there which was actually quite good for riding. I have an induction meeting with the new office hottie tomorrow morning, shall try to look her straight in the eyes :twisted:

    Thursday

    Morning Losers!

    Well yesterday was fun, my retard minion phoned in sick, so I had to do a double shift, ending at 9:30pm. Just what I wanted. Thing is, I don't know if he's back in today, but other minion is, but he's on the same shift as me. If retard minion could have told me, I could have organised other minion to cover his shift. Meh.

    So today, hopefully work then home for a nice relaxing evening. Otherwise, more overtime will be earned.

    Laters!

    Poor mule, give em a hard time!

    Ning nerds,

    Had some guests leave and got a mate and his wife arriving today so still suffering a 'full house', plenty of boozing will help though.
    Going to get my nephew driving the tractor today, should be a laugh as long as he doesn't die or destroy anything.

    Anyhoo, can't idly loaf around gassing to you clowns, i've got pigs to feed!

    Morning all,
    Traditional Thursday morning hangover is in place. Had to drive in again today due to incompetence on my part. Tried to tax the Audi last night and discovered the MOT had expired on Tuesday. Hopefully the tester will be using his blind eye again. No pigs to feed, might eat some later to feed the hangover.

    Morning all,

    Less grumpy today other half cheered me up last night taking me out for dinner. Today is my Friday, also my bank holiday weekend owing to working last Monday so not much will be done today.
    Mule make sure retard minion pays when hes back.
    Since we had a desk shuffle so the managers can all have pretty window seats im now close to creepy uncle type minion. Who is actually super creepy flirting with random people who call up an looking at burlesque photos all day, plus yammering on about his "aerofoil" on his car which doesn't work properly some hairdresser car by Peugeot from what I recall, also hes wearing blue suede boating shoes today...
