Morning, wet through just walked the dog about a mile from home the heavens opened up, so a cuppa and a bowl of porridge are being consumed whilst writing this, another day for the rollers by the look of the weather

tlw1

Decent sleep after shoot commute and now rollers yesterday, I wonder if they are linked

WFH today, so get to see the kitchen progress.

Matthewfalle

Cold, wet, windy so driving in and going to the gym. Then will pack final bits of kit to go away and drink coffee.

drove but wished I cycled.
windy but not as bad as it sounded through the bedroom window.
More really important to other people stuff to do, home then taxi service to the twins.

May zwift really late

sungod

mild dry walk to gym, soggy cold walk back from gym, now even grumpier

on the plus side http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-42081278 though they bizarrely omit real coffee from the list

coffee next

Windy windy. Fighting the bike home last night and in this morning. All a good test of bike handling skills I suppose. Every day's a school day and all that.

Off for black filter coffee in a minute, and a handful of mixed macadamia and brazil nuts.

Ice on the car this morning which was nice after a few days of warmer wet weather. Pickup is in for a service today, can't say I'm impressed with the new one they have lent me for the day, even if they give me a fantastic trade in price I can't take another 2/3 years in one. Office day. Coffee time.

Quite the opposite for me. Wobbled in through the wind, started a bit of light rain as I got to the end of the road. Half a mile later the heavens opened. Mind you the traffic will be bad tonight so I'll be glad of the bike.
Traditional Thursday mild hangover is in evidence, I'm already three cups of tea and a couple of bourbons in so will switch to coffee now. Resisting the urge to murderise someone, not sure why I bother resisting. Surely it's their fault if they ask for it.
Onwards and upwards...

Woken at 3am this morning by the house alarm going off, obviously the front room window doesn't appreciate being battered by the wind.

Up again at 6am for a quick Zwift session before work and now off out for a site meeting.

Looks like PPs are 99.9% complete, just a few bits of tidying up and then I can have my life back on the 1st of December.

Blimmin hell its cold and windy.

Eating as soooo hungry. Will pop down to the 7/11 in a bit to get some more food. So hungry.

McNing, no ice wind etc here just bright an wet roads so general lack of being able to see while driving into work.
Today is Friday for me thank god, some kind of issue seems to be brewing so im staying well away from that as itll no doubt blow up at some point.

Client audit next week, I really really really wish I had filed all this paperwork properly...

Afternoon,

Winter's back - nice and fresh this morning.
Dirt jumps and BMX track on the way into work this morning.

Seems to be a severe case of slippery shoulders going around the office today. I've just got a cold.

The post restaurant trip to the vodka bar got a bit messy. Slept through my alarm and luckily got a call from someone who noticed I was missing just in time to make the first presentation of the day

Now sat at Gdansk airport waiting to head back to Luton...going to be tired when I get home.

Matthewfalle

Just cranked on some Fatboy Slim and about to have a sneaky Pastis before dinner with bambini as Nina is out again.

hopkinb

I'm bored. I get home. I shower. I eat. I help with the kids, wash bike kit, fiddle with my bike for a bit, clean my chain maybe. Then I stare into space, while Mrs H3 gawps at her phone. I did an extra crossword last night. Maybe I need a new TV series. Maybe I'm just massively dull, and booze just fills a void. Either way, meh.

How about lots of masturbation to fill that void? It's a past time that you can do anywhere, any time. Mrs H shopping for new shoes? Wait in the car and do some hobbying . Boring people round? Go to the garage and do some hobbying

Versatile. Cheap. Enjoyable. What's not to like?

hopkinb

Good idea. I'm off to do some hobbying.

Matthewfalle

Just to help you - let's say give you some inspiration.

hopkinb

Bicycles AND Nina! She's even fingering the rim.

Making jasmine tea that I found in a cupboard.

Matthewfalle

Great, innit? I think that She may also be playing with the nipples.

Hot chocolate and Blue Peter here. Rock 'n' roll. May go and smash myself in the face with a bit of wood.

At least 6 different kinds of weird going on with you lot.

hopkinb

Ooh. eTap hydraulic groupset is down to a whisper under £1400 on wiggle. Wonder what Mrs H3 would say? Maybe I'll just get toe covers, inner tubes and some Halo sports wash.

Giving my liver a break. All this spare time. I should think of something productive to do.

Why go to the garage? Think about it for a moment. Do your hobbying in front of the boring people and there are two possible outcomes either of which is a win.
They may be appalled and leave. They were boring so that’s a win. Alternatively, they might like it and join in. Actually that’s only a win if they’re hot. But that could be a mahoosive win.

Have you seen my thread on the Viner frame? I need it, or to be talked out of it.

You say that like it’s a bad thing.
Good news on the house sale by the way.

Ta. May have timed it badly but sold is AWESOME.

Weird is a good thing usually. There can be exceptions.

Buy the Viner. You deserve it.

Why? Despite a dangerous fixation with aprons and recipes, you still have a tenuous grip on the Man Card. That means you are expected to fiddle about, waste time, and above all NOT be productive in any way.

Or, come pack up my house. That job scares me.

Sure you said you had sign off for a bike. Anyway, buy it, hang nice things on it, we can go for a pedal, and find cake.
