Another day on the unpaid list, but not such a bad thing. Finished bleeding brakes on bike #7, so it's now ready to roll, then faffed about fitting a disc caliper adapter to the old Killer V (bike #5). Finally got it installed and working, but decided it doesn't add much stopping power, so will take it off again.

Short ride round local hills this afternoon to remind myself how unfit I really am. :oops:

    Morning,

    Currently doing a load of work which was meant to be the responsibility of a company we employ, boss doesn't understand GIS mapping at all and wants it done instantly. Fun and games today

    Unfettered and relentless ambiguity to my next role although old clients are persisting in wanting more work which negates having to take a role.

    Some more applications to do and then a bike ride. A skype call at 7 is planned and then the Wales game tonight

    Frikkin weather.

    Might go splash around in wet stuff for a while as a poor pedalling substitute.

    Laters.

    Lovely and sunny here, but I'm stuck in the office so it doesn't make much difference.
    Nice pedal in this morning, almost chilly at 13'C though. Lovely once I'd warmed up a bit though. Busy start to the day with a few large orders followed by a really exciting meeting talking about oil. Might stroll down the road in search of some lunch shortly. Pub later.

    More tax and BREXITY based fun on the corporate hamster wheel and I am pedalling again today. After all, must get in shape for my beach holiday in Norfolk next month :) May watch the Wales match tonight, it's a good 'don't care who wins' type of game.

    Tucking into a chicken salad to maintain my svelte awesomeness for my wedding next month :D A morning spent doodling and enjoying the sun. Roll on home time.

    Going to continue with the chicken salad in 2 months?

    eating biscuits and drinking tea like V68 may be visiting. Need to go bash some heads against walls, but might leave that for tomorrow

    As he's a Wimbledon College boy it'll be a punch up outside the King of Denmark. Shame it shut a few years ago.
    As for the chicken salad for his wife, this is all I have to say on the matter. Picture quality isn't up to much I'm afraid.

    I can't be arsed to search the accrued and codified wisdom of the BB but it was either MF or flan who had a near miss when they found a former ex who'd been half decent had turned into a copious pie, chips, gravy and bread and butter eater.

    The knock on effect here is that the eating habits spread to the partner and children.......unless they are motivated cyclists or vain philanderers
