Morning, back to frost here, a cold walk with Tigger this morning he has gone back to his bed,probably the best idea, it would be nice to see the sun out what a miserable week it’s been0

Puppy walked, cold but not frozen out there
Lots of talking about work today, with very little being done0 -
gym gymned, cut the weight right down, nothing seemed to snap, guess it'll be a couple of months building back up to pre crimbo oomph
cafe beckons, shall i have berries with the pain au choc? sadly no pineapple there
enjoy interviews, be outrageousmy bike - faster than god's and twice as shiny0 -
No bike today, got a meeting late this afternoon so can't be bothered. Maybe a run at lunchtime but probably not.
Only 330 more photos that need renaming, have a program to speed it it but the hard bit is remembering what the photos were meant to show.
There's something really urgent I need to do today, but I can't remember what it is.0 -
Treaclish ride in this morning, can't be me, must be the air pressure.
It's amazing how much you can forget (everything) if you don't drive since passing your test. Think I may delay buying a newish car and buy an old banger to use as a bumper car until I get the hang of things again.Pinno, מלך אידיוט וחרא מכונאי0 -
Morning folks,
Plague ridden and have to stay at home, very dull. If I didn’t feel like death warmed up I could do something useful. Sick days are wasted when you’re sick. Worst thing is there’s nobody to make me tea.0 -

Yeah, last night I was awesome. This morning, awful.
Good thing about London traffic is that you can never really go fast, sitting in a traffic jam is easy.0 -

Snap chuggy one in today couldn't seem to keep a decent speed so going with high air pressure increasing aero resistance etc etc.
delightful brekkie combo this morning of Taylor Java Lava (aka LOx/LH2) and croissants, I feel all fancy for a change.
Lunch they are getting pizza in, which is nice except I cant eat pizza due to the dam cheese (hippy lactose sensitivity millennial disease) So I've scouted the menu and done the only sensible thing and asked for a great pile of fried chicken and wedges.
Later shall debate methods of removing the anodising off the other brake lever seeing as the hours of fine sanding last time was tiresome to say the least, current thinking is dremel or drill and a flap wheel, which should prove far quicker.0 -
Where are they getting the pizza from? Some places will do it without the cheese and swap it for extra meat. Fried chicken on the pizza might be pushing it a bit.Step83 wrote:Lunch they are getting pizza in, which is nice except I cant eat pizza due to the dam cheese (hippy lactose sensitivity millennial disease) So I've scouted the menu and done the only sensible thing and asked for a great pile of fried chicken and wedges.0 -
Its Dominos, I did check if you ring up they will un cheese a pizza but to be honest I prefer the sides they may be a little less greasy as well, all of a milligram I suspect.0

Morning, was at a site this morning that has potential to turn into a total disaster, looking good so far.
In a weird turn of events I have received excellent service from a bike shop AND the royal mail! The dropper post was broken on the new bike when I got it last Thursday, I rang the shop on Saturday who apologised profusely despite it not really being their fault, they asked me to post it back and they would send a new on in the post without needing to warranty it as it's a known issue. I posted the post on Monday evening 1st class, then the new one arrived yesterday in the same packaging I sent mine in. I'm not sure whether I should be impressed that the royal mail sent my parcel from Scotland to Cardiff then back again in such a short space of time, and the quick turnaround by the shop but it's certainly beaten my expectations!
Sunset Cycles if anyone is interested, good prices and good service0 -
My lack of speed when I finally get back on a bike next month will be quite amusing. Having to go running for now to get some exercise - boring.
At least work is quite interesting today with some global tax dodging to be done."I spent most of my money on birds, booze and fast cars: the rest of it I just squandered." [George Best]0 -

I did think that when I saw my handwriting on the front, this post seems to work though so maybe they have a KS mechanic working in the depot. Either way, good service0 -

I saw an ad in the comic some years ago for a polishing service. I thought 'there's no way i'm paying that' and decided I would polish a Chorus crankset... myself... by hand. 5 hours later :roll: :
Anyway, f*cking painting again me. It's either a base layer on top of the new plaster or undercoat ready for gloss. In other words: painting twice.
If there is an upside, at least I have done a few door facias and curtain plank mount thingy's.
Every day has started cloudy and cold and then the sun has popped out.
Tomorrow shall be indoor pedalling and then some tinkering on the old new banger - fiddly job of fitting a new crankshaft speed sensor.

If you weren't an atheist, seeing Wales described as God's own country is enough to make you one.0

You'll have to wait until the 5th November, I think it's still legal to burn a catholic on that day.Stevo 666 wrote:
