    Morning girls,

    Standard day in the south Vienne, chickens, pigs, being the builders b1tch and avoiding extra work from the bottom feeder.

    She gave the hair on her head a bit of a trim the other day, wasn't too happy when i said she resembled Duane Dibley.

    Onwards to grief and graft.

    It's the teeth I would be worried about :shock: :P

    Afternoon Crudders,

    Aches and pains here after yesterdays DH efforts. At least I think I haven't cracked a rib like some people did. Time to head home soon - there's only so much minion bossing a bloke can do in one day.

    Morning Losers!

    This week's going quite quickly so far! Good!

    Work is far too busy at the moment, I can't figure out why, but it's getting me down. I wish everyone would just feck off for a few days so I could catch up.

    Tonight I'm chilling the fark out.

    Laters!

    Morning all,
    In the office today so I have a bit of time to shirk. Busy when working from home, I don't get nearly enough opportunity to do my own thing. Need to find a way to remedy that. Pub is calling for later.

    Leaving work early is normally a good thing but in this case not as I have to go and see Stropteen play in some godforsaken musical production. And you can't get any reception in the auditorium so no surfing the web to pass the time :evil: At least there is booze for sale there.

    Morning Losers!

    This week is going quite fast. This is good.
    I need a holiday from work, I'm so pi$$ed off with it. A disgruntled ex-minion seems to have a bee in his bonnet about something, making complaints left right and centre, even though he knows how things are run. I may need to organise delivery of a horse's head.

    Anywho, tonight is chores night. It starts with a run.

    Laters!

    I got a cheap aldi/lidls one which works well but the chain needs constant sharpening as I'm using it on old oak beams. I also have a decent first aid kit on standby, not been required so far!

    Good day woodsmen of the crud.

    I've been doing garden based stuff including using the aforementioned chainsaw to reduce the former roof off our renovation project to fire wood, more of the same once I've finished shovelling bread and cheese down me!

    Toodles.

    I might buy one of those together with a hockey mask for answering the door to spotty oiks when Stropteen turns 16.

    Tired due to my busted rib giving me jip and the performance of 'Miss Saigon' (that I was forced to watch last night on account of Stropteen being in the orchestra) finishing late. It was very well attended, although I'm sure there was no connection between that and a load of sixth formers having to dress up as Vietnamese 'bar girls' for the perfomance :)

    Have just bought some extra strength Nurofen so I can pedal back home without my rib giving even more jip than it did this morning.

    Got two after today's purchase - so you can borrow one

    I know nothing about Miss Saigon except this

    Friiiiidaaaaaay!

    Morning Losers!

    TFI Friday! I've got sod all done this week that I wanted. It's been rubbish. I especially need to sort out employing a new lesser-spotted minion to work the weekend shift. Why haven't I done that already!?

    Anywho, once the pain of work has ended for the week, I'm heading over to Bury for what should be a good weekend.

    Laters!

    yeah Friday

    Didn't go to the pub last night, so bar Monday - I've been good all week. Managed an hour on the rollers, so deserved all of the wine I drank :)

    Today is working from home, so pub from work time is reduced

    Morning strokers,
    In the office today so shirking for all I'm worth. Keep being told I have to tidy my desk as they want to implement a clear desk policy, I'm avoiding this like the plague. Next thing they'll start talking about some bollox like hot desking. Dead pig for lunch as it's Fryday, might sneak off to the pub later.
    Onwards and upwards...

    They will get you in the end. We hot desk, but I have my hot desk and woe betide anyone who sits there.

    Working from home today so currently down the sandwich shop getting pig based food.

    G'day chumbawumbas

    Started work at 13:00 today, so made use of the morning sun and relative lack of polar bears and penguins to squeeze in a 45 miler through the genetic wastelands*

    Evening crafty butchers,

    Been lugging wood around today, it did involve the tractor, trailer, chainsaw and unfortunately the hand saw! We now have enough wood to keep warm for the next few hundred years!

    Off out to the chippy in a bit for some lard and then possibly beer.

    Fark all on this weekend that varies from what I've done all week but hopefully more booze fuelled.

    Toodles.

    Morning gravel bike enthusiasts,

    There is rain in the SW of France, this is good as the bottom feeder had a day of graft planned for this lazy arrissed crudder.
    So After some animal based catering I'm back in bed, this is good. Unfortunately there is homemade sausage, bacon and black pudding in the fridge yelling at me to get on it!

    Onwards to fridge emptying and loafing.

    No need to be so rude :)

    Now in the frozen North after a good fast drive and getting ready for a fish n chips supper. Plus some cider in place of painkillers. For now, a bit more footy...

    Yeah, Stevo's got a hybrid.
    Fairly lazy day due to man flu. The upside of which is I don't have to go to the sister in law's tomorrow.

    Evening wobblers.
    Today started well with a few miles in the FoD, which was rudely cut short by my sciatica flaring up, and was saved by some top Italian grub with the long haired general.
    Tomorrow, I will mostly be messing about in a muddy puddle with my rebreather.

    Its still grim up North, I must be a rain god because the clouds seem to follow me around. So that's this mornings trip with the parentals scuppered, ho hum. At least there's footy on the radio for most of the drive back down South.

    Good day mongs of the crud,

    Having a loaf around today, this may not last as the bottom feeder may have other ideas.

    Till then the fire is on and there is a nice hot cuppa in my grubby paws.

    Toodl s.

    Evening aris bandits,
    Day of not being at the sister in law's today which is a definite win as far as I'm concerned. Done a few small jobs around here, but mostly done nothing other than grumble and manufacture huge amounts of thick green snot. Did a bit of work today so I can take some time later in the week when I feel better. No point in wasting my own time wtih being ill, might as well make it the companies time.
