    Morning, cold here again, I managed to drop the bike off yesterday, as for buying mrs lincolndave a Christmas present, I bought a dremel and accessories, after a lot of thought , I might keep the dremel for myself and buy her something else, have a good day

    give her the dremel, it could be useful for crafting biscuits or cake icing into complex shapes, and i'm sure she'd let you borrow it

    that way she has a pressie and you can still get yourself something

    Just taken the das hund for a walk, now waiting for coffee to coffee on the stove.

    Will ride in today and have utterly no intention of staying there a second longer than I have to.

    More dreck to wade through today. Might treat myself to a flogging up a few of the short steepish hills near home later, increase the endorphins.

    Lovely pedal in, nice temperature, concentrated on a smooth pedal stroke, whilst cutting a swathe through the hi-viz hordes.

    No idea what to get the GF for Christmas, she wants something nice and 'not outdoorsy' which has completely confused me as I was going to get her crampons so I don't die this winter solo. Apparently outdoors clothing isn't cool for girls either

    Working from home for no reason other than I can get away with it. Might head up north to look at some trees in a bit, I suspect I'm going to need to do some shouting also. Bloody trees.

    Might look at getting some wood to build a barn door style door for the wooden garage this weekend, I've been talking about it long enough. Atleast that way I can leave some of the less expensive bikes locked up in there rather than the spare room

    Today I shall be drawing pieces of metal, lots of them.

    How can 14 year old kids lose stuff? Have you brushed your teeth?

    Well... Errr...

    "well have you or not"

    I did last night

    "and this morning?"

    Errr, I can't find my toothbrush...

    I think that sounds great in theory Sungod, but I have a feeling it would not go down very well in the real world

    Morning folks,
    It's not that 14 year olds lose things it's that they can't see what's right under their noses.
    I haven't thought about Christmas presents yet, way too early for that kind of behaviour. Reasonably busy day in the office today. Got to get all my pigs fuelled up and ready to fly tomorrow as I'm off to the classic car show to see some customers. Letting the train take the strain so can have a bite to eat and a snooze on the way. Makes a change from sitting in the office at least. Need to get out and visit a few more of them really.
    Coffee should be ready to go about now...

    You shout at trees for a living?! I'm a gunna send you my CV. I can shout at trees with the best of them. I'm pretty good at shaking my fist at them too. Bloody trees. :D

    ...and I'll raise you 16 year olds who drop their iPhone down the bog :roll:

    Slightly cold pedal in but I've put my boil in the bag hi-viz jacket on for extra warmth and to lull Hoppy into a false sense of security if I ever meet him on the communt in. Just finished doing a 'Lewis Hamilton' on some of our tax exposures and it's now time for a large lunch to make up for the calorie deficit :) More avoidance beckons this afternoon...

    Biggly trees. The best trees. Cofefe trees.

    Just having a pie as I'm cold then leaving in precisely one hour and six minutes on the dot.

    damn, you spotted my cunning ruse to generate future entertaining postings about how she reacted :D

    Rubbish trees. The worst. I don't blame the trees, this isn't a trees issue. I blame previous management. Sad.




    Back from looking at trees. Did plenty of tutting to myself but no actual shouting this time, mostly because the culprits weren't with me. Someone appears to owe my client some monies.

    You have one of those hi-viz monstrosities flapping away in the wind do you? You'll be telling me you wear baggy shorts next. :lol:

    He still can't get over the fact that we both had bikes with curly bars and proper brakes.

Get closer, looks wide, is that a trike? Closer still. No, it's a xxxxing mobility scooter. WTAF? Fair do's - he/she had a hi viz jacket on. Prob on way home after a day in Wetherspoons, 'kin Leavers.
