Morning, I am wondering what the catch is this morning, I’ve just walked Tigger, no rain, no wind, no frost, what is happening?
Have a good day0 -
I obviously wrote the above post a little premature, it’s now snowing0

you brought it on yourself with that postmy bike - faster than god's and twice as shiny0

Wish it would snow here, as I'm not doing the local reliability ride due to eldests football
Good night last night with friends, really should have stopped when they left in the early hours, but was having fun
After football and normal jobs will probably have a decent walk over to a pub to watch the rugby0 -
hooray! its temporarily stopped raining!

Morning folks,
Traditional slow start is being enjoyed. Just had a call from the lad. That was nice as he broke his phone a few days ago so hadn’t heard for a while. Seems to be having the time of his life, which is the whole point I suppose.
Off to see the ‘rents later and have a walk on Wimbledon Common.0 -
Took dog for a walk round the park with Strifey - Good to get a bit of exercise and the shoulder held up well to a bit of jiggling around so that was encouraging. Off down to Waitrose shortly to get supplies and sup free coffee.
May have to do some work later. Ho hum."I spent most of my money on birds, booze and fast cars: the rest of it I just squandered." [George Best]0 -
definitely not valium, for the motorway i suggest a mix of barbs and speed, it'll give you a bit of distance but you'll keep your edge to react when needed
traffic snarled up heading back into london, seems a 10k run cannot be done by a couple of laps around a park but instead requires shutting down huge swathes of town, even away from the route bloody runnists kept throwing themselves in the road
time to see how much affidélice au chablis, cured porky delights, crusty bread etc. i can eat in one go, though i'm not sure the cheese is quite ripe enough for maximum squidginessmy bike - faster than god's and twice as shiny0 -
I bet you would like your affidélice on top of my 50/50 granary and strong bread flour loaf which wot I made by hand* and wots i'm just about to extract from the oven (and it smells gorgeous).

Mrs H3 has become very keen on making bread, and is pretty good at it. Way nicer than even the posh shop bought stuff. She does use a kitchenaid to mix the dough though. It doesn't seem a particularly cheap way to eat bread necessarily, though that might be because she buys small bags of "organic" flour. I'm not sure what difference "organic" makes to a highly processed product like flour, but it makes her happy.
Nice walk on Wimbledon Common with the dog and the wife. Didn't see V68, but there were hordes of panting runnists doing some sort of event. I saw maybe a handful of people who actually looked like they were running rather than suffering from St. Vitus dance whilst wearing leggings.0 -
Spent the morning with Mrs BM at an antiques fair. We are old but don't yet qualify for being antique.
The upside was, she didn't see anything she fancied. Result!0 -
Went for a walk with TDV's in laws in the valleys.
It rained.Postby team47b » Sun Jun 28, 2015 11:53 am

Might be the only exercise I'll get this month until the quack gives me the all clear to go on the bike again. Anyway, work finished for this evening and now getting peckish.Pinno wrote:"I spent most of my money on birds, booze and fast cars: the rest of it I just squandered." [George Best]0 -
Not got a Turbo trainer or rollers?!
Silly question...
Bigger question: will you go DH'ing again?seanoconn - gruagach craic!0 -
I hope so - needs to mend fully then I need to do some physical training on the mended bits. It might take time but with the new job coming up, Stropteens GCSE's, two lots of holidays booked etc probably won't be able to do any until after summer. Then I need to see how I feel about it and whether I stay off the black runs - a lot of it is in your head.Pinno wrote:Not got a Turbo trainer or rollers?!

Cannot stand static exercise stuff btw, does my head in."I spent most of my money on birds, booze and fast cars: the rest of it I just squandered." [George Best]0 -
Hello all. Late check in. Made MrsBBGeek some beef stew (top tip: Rochefort 8 is a must) and now getting ready for next week. Take care all, it's a cruel world out there.Ecrasez l’infame0

Good man. As long as you didn't do something totally stupid like running, that's fine.seanoconn - gruagach craic!0 -
I dug out the cross bike in the narrow window of between 2 and 3pm, proudly and intelligently fitted clip on mudguards and went for a mooch. Imagine my delight when turning a corner off the busy A56 I catch my clipped in foot under said mudguard and drop to the ground like a newly built ship into the sea.
At that point it started to rain. QED.0 -

Saw the runnists, the ones we saw didn't look very happy. We went to the windmill and walked up the little hills to the north then towards the cemetary and round Queensmere before heading back to the windmill cafe for a cup of tea.hopkinb wrote:Nice walk on Wimbledon Common with the dog and the wife.

You'll do all of that given a long bank holiday weekend. No probs.seanoconn - gruagach craic!0
