    I'm stuffing my face as pedalling into work has made be ridiculously hungry. There's cold cider in the fridge as an incentive to pedal home faster as well :) . Roll on the weekend...

    Hola children,

    Not the greatest start to the day with the news from Nice! Tw@s!

    In other news the pillar that will support the main roof beam is finished, it is almost as high as the Shard thingie at least thats what it felt like carting the blocks up the ladder!

    At least it's now beer o clock and watching the replay of the skinny tyred weirdos.

    Toodles.

    Pub was good last night, this morning was trying to do some training on the rollers but rugrats wanted to play, so we went to the park to play football

    About to drop the kids of at theatre club and have a fancy breakfast with the current wife

    Then off to see my grandparents with the kids whilst the wife spends too much money on her hair

    Later is a meal out somewhere

    Morning Losers!

    Reading the news that bg13 has been driving his truck erratically again. Also, sounds like Sheepsteeth has taken some friends on a holiday to Turkey!

    Today is a weird day being roped into things I cba doing, and just generally not great. I think I'm coming down with a cold or something too. All I want to be doing is lazing about chasing pokemon.

    Laters!

    Some stupid jobs done, pig and unhatched chickens eaten already. Was very nice. Now trying to get little Miss Dbo out for a ride but she's chasing stuff with her mobile phone?

    Afternoon,
    Boy 2 taken to and retrieved from drama club this morning, a job I don't mind doing as the teacher there is hot. Wife is out this afternoon so it's just me and the boys. Might get them out later as the weather is lush.

    Hola plebs,

    Missus working all day so I set my alarm to go off before she left just so she would see me turn it off and go back to sleep.

    A couple of laps smashed out at FoD, now need to source something for dinner. Rum may make an appearance at some point so she'll have to get the peasant wagon home from work as I'm not bloody picking her up.

    sunday

    Morning

    Somehow managed to crick my neck sleeping last night :(

    Just watching the tour whilst the kids play on my phone & laptop

    The plan today is lots of gardening jobs and tidy up some of the plumbers mess - a mate mentioned a bbq last night so hopefully that should happen, if not the pub will be visited

    Morning

    Short blast out late afternoon yesterday was a hoot. 6.5 miles but 600ft gain, so a blast like I said. Loads of grass and bushes to sort today but still need to squeeze in another outing later. BBQ planned later too. It's a bit windy up here mind you.

    No beer.

    Lie in till 9, followed by brekkie in town with some mates. Now slacking a bit until the EPO gets her jobs list out again...wish it wasn't so bloody humid and sweaty. Have bought a couple of tower fans from Tesco to push the warm air around.

    Great night at some neighbours drinking cider, meeting new people from the village and eating my own body weight in meat - was paid for throughout the night with a dodgy tum :(

    Today is meetings based and therefore no fun

    Morning Meat Sweaters

    Too much meat here too. Today is meetings and conference calls. All aiming towards a blast out on the bike at 7pm, roll on then.

    Morning mongs,

    Not a bad weekend of chilling, including whipping round both blue and red trails at fod for a bit of fun.

    2 weeks of work left!

    Morning all,
    Bit weary this morning and my head hurts, unfortunately not due to beer consumption. Good day yesterday, went to the Mini festival at Brands Hatch with the boy. Only problem is that having seen lots of Minis racing he wants to have a go. Big contrast to see club racing after his work experience in F1. Got to get stuff organised for the holiday as we go away at the end of next week, can't wait.
    Onward and upwards...

    Evening Mongs,

    Had a right sweaty pedal home tonight. Nearly got rear ended by a bus on the Marylebone Road as I stopped to watch a girl crossing just as the lights were changing who could best be described as a dead heat in a zeppelin race :)

    Now stuffing my face with ice cream. Cheese n crackers to follow!

    Morning,
    Six hours undisturbed sleep last night, but of a record for me recently. As a result I'm feeling a bit less meh right now than usual.
    I'm no longer a pokemong, I uninstalled the app yesterday as it was taking me too long to get anywhere. I'll have probably reinstalled it by lunchtime though.
    Today is a ride to work, day off sitting, then ride hope for a BBQ. Hopefully the weather will hold out.

    Morning Losers!

    I'm still pokermonging, it's making the day go quicker!

    Today I should really fill in an application form that I want to apply for. Slowly giving up with any chance of getting a new job, but may as well try.
    When I get home, I should get out the house really as it's already boiling hot and sunny as hell.

    Laters!

    Decent enough sleep - which is good

    Today is working local(ish) so I get to pedal, as it's going to be so nice, the best bike will be used

    As I will be back at a reasonable time, I will probably be painting the front door

    It's going to be a scorcher down in The Big Smoke so may head out at lunchtime and try and make myself change colour from blue to white :)

    Until then I'll have to deal with idiots. Coffee will help.

    Morning to you in the frozen north,

    40 degrees c predicted today so got out early to mow the lawns, still got the strimming to do but can't find my hat, i may burn! At least i have the pool to cool down in later.

    The pigs are off to the abattoir tomorrow, we've gotten quite attached to them so will be sorry to see them go but will be quite happy to see them return in an assortment of bacons, roasting joints, sausages, chops and did i mention bacons!

    Toodles for now.

    Lovely day here, unfortunately I'm in the office. Customer avoidance is going reasonably well, just had a few that have successfully got through to me. I should be doing a quote for some expensive carbytooters rather than being on here, problem is I'm pretty sure he won't buy them.
    The locals look even more scary around here, most of them should join bg's pigs on their little trip. Will you know which pig made which bacon? How will you know which pig was tastiest otherwise? Did they have comedy names?

    The 'Young Ones' approach of calling your pet pig 'Bacon Sandwich' seems like a logical one here.

    BG, just make sure that you get your pigs back as bacon. I hope there's a strict record of where each bacon slice has come from. Don't want someone else eating your pork...

    Morning losers!

    It's warm. Very warm. I was woken last night just before 4am by some foxes that were playing with something, I've no idea what, but it sounded like plastic, maybe an old milk bottle thing. Feckers.

    Today, more of the same. Basically, Pokémon Go and maybe a bit of work.

    Laters!
