    Morning, wet here as well, and it looks like it’s here for the next five days according to the weatherman

    Morning All. Off work till Thursday night. Currently waiting for windscreen man to come and fit new one. Pub later. Damp but not raining at the moment.
    Too many bikes according to Mrs O.

    Hissing down, blowing a hoolie, both bambini ill.

    Think I'll have a coffee.

    Bucketing down so a walk might not happen today, therefore today’s highlight might be watching my beard grow.

    Morning,

    Wet here too.
    Hardly anyone's in the office at the moment. Mondayitis, or they've drowned on the way in.

    Morning folks,
    Tad moist out. Good news and bad news in here, good news is chief tea maker is back. That's also the bad news.
    The thread title made me think of one of my favourite websites:

    Morning, think we had the heavy rain last night with a nice river flowing down the road.

    Lots of puddles on the way in to avoid not knowing which were hiding potholes. Had an email from Kickstarter about a project I back ages ago an they are finally shipping semi decent numbers.

    Onward to coffee and project planning!

    Wettish ride in. Contemplating coffee, burrito and one of those fancy Gore shake-dry waterproof jackets.

    I wouldn't bother, those jackets are flavourless and a bit chewy.

    Made a mistake on Sunday and put a load of coat hooks up in the boiler room so my cycling jackets will dry - wife started counting the jackets........

    That's never a good thing, I re waterproofed mine in the washing machine a while back, OH counted the jackets that came out, I'm guessing we had similar conversations!

    Can't be that hard to argue back. Just go up to the wardrobe(s) and point out how many jackets/outfits/shoes/whatever she has crammed in there.

    Busy day at 'mill. But it's only a 4 day week so not all bad.

    Woo, shiny stuff has started to arrive for our extension rather than boring things like beams and bricks.

    I'd show you what it looks like but where to host online photos has yet to be solved, would I be a fool to ask for recommendations for free photobucket type site in here?

    Even I thought the amount of jackets was excessive, just used the line I should really throw the old ones away

    Nor have I, but then I haven't ridden much for a while either. :( ²
    Maybe I should buy something to help with that, an oxygen cylinder perhaps.

    I think if I were to point out the copious numbers of shoes she own I would be beaten with a selection of said shoes.

    What happens when your kickstarter company does well? Do you get a return on initial investment or discounts on the stuff?

    Canned unfortunately :(

    Able to do it all closer to home so that option was selected. But gutted really, quite looking forward to a couple of beers and eating curry n chips supplied by the Po Facers.

    That said, I think Veronese, Hopper and Womble may be up for coming out for a beer and bitching about you :)
