    Gaaaa, still at bloody work. At least it's making me work faster then I can pedal home through the smog, stuff my face with whatever wifey has cooked and then drink cider.

    Farming genuinely interests me! Pigs are awesome! Cute when piglets, dozy adults that eat human flesh, and then even in death they provide sustenance and flavour beyond compare! I salute pigs!

    Morning Losers!

    Nice ride on the motorbike last night, but a boring night in watching a movie and drinking alone with a takeaway pizza.

    This morning I've been for a run, and getting concerned over not hearing from someone who usually responds about 5 minutes later, 30 hours, and I'm a little worried.
    In a few hours, I'll busy myself round the house, shave my head and then head over to Bury to watch the first match of the season!

    Laters!

    Great night on the ale with my mate last night, a few different pubs followed by a BBQ at a neighbours

    He upset his mother by calling to say he's staying another night - but the ales just too much fun

    Should still be in bed but up to let the builders in :(

    The family are back later and then off to see shrewsburys first game of the season where the kids are going onto the pitch for some thing

    Later is out in town

    Might get up soon :) Wifey is out taking the hound for his morning dump so I may get disturbed soon. At least the shopping squad is going shopping later so I get some peace to go see a mate and do a few jobs.

    Its sunday you wearers of women's undergarments

    Tkm i'm looking into the possibility of putting photos on here but my geek skills are not too strong. A northern type who has tried it says it's more like haggis with the oats and pearl barley in it but he liked the taste. We used a r cipe off some bloke on Youtube called Scott Rae who does loads of butchery videos. I'm sure you'd be able to make your own!

    Anyhoo, today started with home made bacons and black pudding with mushrooms and egg from the shops! Pool cleaned and while the bottom feeder is ironoing for our next guests i'm off out to sort rocks for next weeks stage of the reno project, unfortunately as its going to be 30+ frikkin degrees this afternoon we have to go to a bbq where more meats and boozes will be had!

    Toodles.

    Afternoon Losers!

    Ahh, but bg13, that involves effort, and I like my Black Pudding without effort needed!

    Today is a normal day, except I'm now going round to look at some baby guinea pigs this afternoon. To me, they're Hamsters, but apparently they are genuinely different animals.

    Laters!

    Bit of a lazy start but I eventually got round to walking the hound. I got a bit distracted this afternoon by the Olympic women's beach volleyball, fascinating sport :P

    Morning Losers!

    I have 2 days off! Wooooo! Today I'm going over to Blackpool with my dog-walking friend. It's summer, and we're going to go the beach (f*** you weather!) and find somewhere to have a nice dinner. Generally, it's just a nice relaxed, summery (!) day.

    Afternoon,
    Bit breezy out there tonight, ride home into the wind was a PITA. Usual potter through the day doing enough to pass the time without breaking sweat. Hard work starts now though as I've got loads of stuff to move.

    Evening Mongs,

    Had a good pedal in and out of work. Saw a great sign in the office, it said 'Please be careful opening this door, there may be people on the other side'. The door opened inwards towards me :D Spent most of the rest of the day torturing large numbers.

    Meanwhile Stropteen started her work experience down at the local vets and saw an operation. The fact that she didn't throw up was probably a result.

    Afternoon,
    Early start thanks to the kids, when they're teenagers I'm going to wake them up at 4am regularly and see how they like it.
    Slow day of work meh, too much CBA. Feels like a Thursday but it's not which is annoying as I'm off on Friday.
    Finally got the bits ordered to stop the commuter bike (cx) clanking so much. Should get them fitted at the weekend, might even take it round the blue route at Glentress for a laugh on Friday.

    Revenge is sweet on this front. I'm enjoying not being quiet in the mornings when I get up for work.

    Mega busy day today, but out for a beer very shortly :)

    Wednesday

    Mehning Losers!

    I need sleep. After a rubbish nights sleep between Monday and Tuesday, I managed barely 5 hours sleep last night due to getting home at 1am and being up at 5:50, I'm going to have to find a dark room at work that I can fall asleep in!

    Today I have a meeting at 10, and that's about it. The rest will be spent trying to sleep.

    Laters!

    Afternoon noobs,

    Been doing bricklaying stuff and now i'm farked, still one of our guests has been by the pool most of the day and is quite picturesque. I've stayed away from being the stereotypical builder type shouting at her to show me her norks etc but it's taken a lot of willpower!

    The bottom feeder wants wine tonight which invariably leads to two bottles so i'm staying strong and not having any as buildery stuff tomorrow will be dire in the temperatures we are having here!

    Toodles.

    thursday

    The weekend is creeping closer, but still too far away

    Another day of a long commute awaits, at least that avoids the builders who managed to drill through the central heating pipe yesterday - which is impressive as its new and untested

    Morning Losers!

    It's been nice having 2 days off this week, as I'm glad my short working week is nearly over. Both of my minions are off on holiday today, so that's nice. I might be a bit busier than normal, but I should at least be able to get on with stuff (or find a studio I can sleep in!)

    I really need to do a Tesco shop too. So will do that later.

    Laters!

    Hola terd burglars,

    So a day of building related activities yesterday has left this crudder feeling a bit knacked, bit more of the same today and i'll be properly battered!

    Tomorrow will be a lie in! Or maybe Saturday or possibly Sunday!
