    Well I was supposed to be going for an early ride but someone has ordered heavy rain so I'm not going - I'll do a rare post instead as an opposite to Sungod.

    Drive over the Peak District for me later for a few beers with an old mate - lives in High Lane and all his locals are absolute sh**e so maybe trying Marple (are they any better there?)

    So I suppose I'm going to have to to the gym now in place of my bike ride, there had better be some eye fodder to make up for missing out on my bike ride

    no ride for me today as the current wife is out for a boozy day with the girls, meaning not only am I looking after our rugrats but another three too!

    The plan is outdoors fun, ie, dens, rope swings - should be good

    Later is friends over for dinner, which the wife has already prepared - so it should happen!

    Might get the power washer out later and blast the flags.

    Attempting to be super dad today and failing so far. Coughing up green lumpy stuff. Totally and utterly fed up with this winter.

    Laters.

    It's spring and sunny in Kent :)

    Have some jobs to do then may look at the footy and go for a run. Or something like that. But for starters its coffee time.

    sunny dry ride, interspersed with espressos, chocs and a croissant

    could have been a smidge warmer, but after the wind, rain and cold of previous weeks it's really pleasant

    Same here, said it would be warmer than Barcelona.
    Pottering about doing odd jobs around here. Mainly outside stuff as it's so nice. Need to finish getting the garden sorted and a couple of jobs on the motor. Might start putting the Bonneville back together.

    Wet here, sun is trying though and according to the weather it will win

    So the 5 rugrats are watching you tube on the tv, after playing splat, table tennis and rugby

    They arrived 30 mins ago!

    Tired now. Reasonably productive day. Bit if work in the garden and did a load of jobs on the shitbox Audi, even fitted the brake pads I bought off TLW in November at last. Now more beeping and warning lights. Beer now methinks.

    Did you remember to fit that bloody brake pad sensor? NO? - Go back, take wheel off. Swear a lot. Yes?
