    Evening burds,

    Sun shone, grass mown, pigs fed, foods eaten, boozes drunk and football watched.

    Sunday

    Morning Losers!

    The sun has come out in da Hudd, which is a brilliant way to start another day of riding. Yesterday I was followed around the countryside by 2 coppers on their work bikes, who then told me areas for improvement. It was interesting, if not a little nerving!
    Today I'll be trained by advanced motorcyclists as a 'tester' to see if I like their courses.

    Laters!

    Fathers day and stupidly agreed to do a half marathon - which would have been ok if I had trained. So feck it, had a good night in the pub :)

    Wife's back later and now her mother is looking after the kids whilst I run, her sister, husband and brat are coming over - so a funless afternoon is on the cards

    Very lazy start after a busy day yesterday. Boy has taken the girlfriend to Whipsnade Zoo in the Mini, gave me the new Radiohead album before he left. Girl is here with us and did a picture of my old Triumph and framed it. Off to see the folks later, sister is over from Italy too so should be good.
    Well done on the wheels Step.

    No pressures for me so I am avoiding jobs to compensate. The morning was peaceful because the rest of them were out and it was just me and the hound...at least I cleaned my smelly DH gear, got to get your priorities right.

    Morning Losers!

    I have the week off, and I started it off by waking at 5:35 this morning. Not impressed. Managed to drift in and out of sleep for the neighbours to then decide to do housework and start drilling at 8:10. Thanks.

    Today, tidy, find a spring for my centre stand (the one I had is somewhere on the M62!), go into work incognito to grab some stuff I've been allowed to take, and then chill out for the rest of the day.

    Laters!

    Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock. What time is acceptable to slope off? I have a few things to get sorted before i can sit down for the match. Bitty day in the office today, just down the road at Bradford, which is nice and easy, tomorrow will see me having to tackle the M62 to the Warrington office from Halifax. Never much fun.

    Morning wonkers,

    Feeling well battered after yesterdays wall demolition, a day of pigs and pork to look forward to.

    About to brave the M62 westbound towards Manchester from Yorkshire. Wish me luck, I need it. 40 mins or two hours. Which will it be today?

    Morning Losers!

    Day 2 of the holiday and things are about to get more interesting. My dog-walking friend is also off today, and the next few days, so I'm popping round to hers. This also means I'm braving the M62 westbound. Hopefully it won't be too bad...

    Laters!

    Morning all,
    I seem to have entered a parallel universe in which it rains when I have to drive and is sunny when I can pedal. Unfortunately I know I will have to come back to reality soon. Reasonably quiet start to the day unlike yesterday, this is good. Hopefully it will stay that way. I'm not going anywhere near the M62 thankfully, that's a long way to pedal from here.
    Onwards and upwards...

    Afternoon,

    I'm spending a week in the site where time stands still. Someone came in earlier and we got excited thinking there might be something to do but she was looking for someone else. The PC is rubbish as well so can't even edit some gopro footage to pass the time.

    First properly warm pedalling session for a while today. Pity summer is over and the night's are drawing in... Now watching the football while being generally lazy.

    wednesday

    Working locally so a chance to spin my legs which are still a little tight after running too hard with no cool down at the weekend

    Later is possible going over to my folks for my old chaps birthday, might give it a miss if I can get time off on Thursday & Friday to go to goodwood with him

    Morning Losers!

    Erm, TLW1, "Old Chap" means something different where I'm from I think... :/

    Today, I'm heading back over to my dog-walking friends house. We might actually take the dog on a walk today. Tonight I think I'll shave my head again, and possibly fix the Cube up to get back on it...

    Same here, be worried if your old chap has a different birthday to you!

    Declined to ride in this morning chose to drive in my now mainly working car (boring story). Mainly due to the fact its meant to turn shonky later an I still need to re waterproof my jacket.
    Not much going on today I think so I'm spending the day browsing the web for new car speakers, minor risk of some work being done at some point.

    Morning losers,

    Nothing as exciting as 'walking the dog' for me today. Paperwork sent off for my new German car has arrived in the country after being built in Spain, so should be able to collect it by the end of the week.

    Last couple of bits ordered for a bike build for the missus, so I can crack on with that next weekend when I'm officially unemployed.

    Its a hard life.

    Would his old chap's birthday be celebrated on the date he had the op or on the date it was born along with the donor? You do know TLW's history and what TLW stands for don't you?
    Bit of a slow start here. Took the girl in to school for 9am, earliest start she's had since November. School run traffic was infuriating as loads of women were trying to drive cars that were too big for them down roads that are too small for them. Got home dumped the car and jumped on the bike only for a persistent light drizzle to start, rather moist by the time I got here. Busy since then but calming down now, might stroll up to Gregg's in a bit and get something inedible. Beer and curry later for a mate's birthday. Woohoo!
