Later is the pub
Stroll with The Hound, bit if bike fixing for a friend, weights session, chillin' with the Bambini, 6 o'clock Ricard.
Has potential I think.
Have a glorious day!

Meet the lovely Mrs Slog at the airport.
Last couple of days of fine spring weather for a while they reckon, back to winter next week.
The older I get, the better I was.
Arrived home at 4am ish, layed out some food for the Audax today, woken up at 5:30 ish to the sound of a dog being sick and two missing snacks from the kitchen. Sort that out, bed, Dog sick again. Now running late, get out start the long chase to get on the back of anyone leaving Eureka to get a puncture, oh wait left my saddle bag in the house too.
Time for brunch and maybe some vodka.
Hope you avoid the hosipital MRS.
TLW, kids climbing/bouldering is always a laugh, most of them have no sense of mortality

You are too classy for this forum. You set standards that only we can imitate poorly. Respect.
Me nursing left eye me and looking after Tricky and Shorty who seem to have extra extra energy and are extra extra noisy.
Must go try and squeeze a shower in somehow and hope I don't come out to a wrecked house and garden.
Laters.
think crank spindle is a bit worn on the nds, goes creaky after high power then gradually quietens, which i'm guessing is as displaced grease gets smeared back in, grrrr
Traditional slow start was had followed by light pottering. Out for a meal with my folks later. Nice chilled day.
Hope you have a good day MRS and Stevo, you could both do with it.

Then learn to cycle 60 degrees from the horizontal. Else, find a car park and ride around in anti-clockwise circles*.
*there's a deep metaphor in there.
though if i could get a new spindle, maybe one to discus with fudges
Should be a good day for the Etape though chilly start. It will be one of those day's where you'll start under dressed and end up over dressed.
'Spindle'? What decrepit BB have you got?
JUst weld it on. It'll be fine.

definitely not me in the pic, too much hair
on a different topic, the terrible news about michele scarponi puts things into perspective, really sad time for his family
Have done a few jobs and taken a car load of censored from clearing the study down to the tip. Now sitting in the Waitrose caff with a coffee and a sausage roll while Stropteen and Strifey are shopping in Bromley.
Also started the ball rolling with social services yesterday to get my old dear transferred to a home near me as its just not going to work being 5 hours drive away.
I do need some bloody exercise as well!

Do I trim down Di2 FSA SLK seat post as I won't ever use the D12 battery compartment and save a load of weight? I think so.

Mine is pretty mundane too - cleaning, washing, bins and two soul-destroying hours setting up utility bills, oh, and responding to those shysters at BUPA who are doing their very best to add stress to my life (whilst claiming to do the opposite) - fortunately it's only money.
The other thing I have in common is coffee and sausage rolls and desperate need for bloody exercise...
Me grabbed a couple of hours to do fettling to the summer bike me. Found out why the gear change was sloppy - loose rear mech hanger. Washed the chain in petrol (thrice). Not going back to Muc off. It's spotless now. Pity I can't show it off but the dodgy eye is more important.
...and on that note, I can see out of it!
Death and illness. It's a funny thing. You spend so much time chasing bits of paper and sorting out the most mundane of things when you could really be doing something else instead.
