hungover, office, coffee, meeting all day followed by gmc idea of 'fun', should've declined, but succumbed in a moment of weakness
bloody chelsea flower show kicking off as well, streets/cafes even more tourist-rammed, is it too much to ask for a couple of hueys with agent orange

Morning, where’s the sunshine, grey and cloudy skies at the moment as summer finished0

WFH - so enjoyed a slow start and a walk with puppy and eldest
Mother should escape SGs hit list as she was at Chelsea yesterday and traveling back today, before going to Greece tomorrow - I’m really concerned about my inheritance0 -
Early start at work today so I can bail early and carry on with the garden, I'm on a strict deadline as MrsHD has invited half the village round on Saturday.Advocate of disc brakes.0

Morning.
Grey here as well and still windy. Need to find somewhere to buy a fishing net for the grandson, then find somewhere to use it.
Later will be a bike ride.0 -
Morning
Nice and sunny today, bit breezy but can deal with that.
Strava reckons I rode with someone this morning, must've been the guy I passed. Given him a kudos, see if I get one back.sungod wrote:bloody chelsea flower show kicking off as well, streets/cafes even more tourist-rammed, is it too much to ask for a couple of hueys with agent orange
Living in a shithole town had the benefit of there being no tourists, until the local council decided to make the area a world heritage site and get tourists bussed into the place. Now I can't do my local MTB route at weekends because they're all in the way0 -
I'd forgotten that I'm off to the cricket tomorrow, so I'd better finish off a couple of bits and pieces in the office today.
Feckin' cold this morning on the bicycle. If sungod is exposed to these kinds of temperatures I think he may stop functioning.0 -
Morning folks,
Was a bit fresh this morning, where's the sun gone? Managed to wobble in today which is a good thing as I'm going to have to drive again tomorrow. Might divert and take the long way home tonight. today being Wednesday I will probably be busier than I'd like but this is mitigated a little by visiting the pub later. Girl has a physics exam this afternoon, she's happier about that one because she gets it without having to think too hard. I'll be very happy when these exams are over, not least because it means I'll be going on holiday that much sooner.
Going to have to go and make myself another cup of tea soon as the tea walla is off, on balance I prefer having to make my own tea and have less grief.hopkinb wrote:I'd forgotten that I'm off to the cricket tomorrow.0 -

Well that was a shambles. After yesterday when I had a tyre on the car blow out on the freeway, which meant a lot of faffing about getting a replacement sorted, had it booked in today for a general service. Workshop down one end of town, slow trip to office after that.
Utter clusterf*ck of a day at work, topped off with being held up too late to collect car. No worries I think, will get it in the morning. Except I left the keys to the apartment in it by mistake. PT across town to collect key from lockbox and then back here, and now have to go back very early in the morning to collect re-assembled car. Then a long drive back to site warehouse.

And apart from that little mechanical mess, I'm one as well. Dodgy back, neck spasms and numbness in arms and feet from pinched nerves.

Went in on the train today thankfully. Spent part of the morning doing more Brexit planning for the Group, hindered only by lazy 'tards who don't do what they're asked. I might do a spot of tax avoidance this afternoon, just to liven things up a bit
@Veronese - I have a feeling our kids are taking the exact same exams. It's been 'snap' every day so far. Maths tomorrow and English lit Friday before a week off for half term, thank ****."I spent most of my money on birds, booze and fast cars: the rest of it I just squandered." [George Best]0 -
Existential crisis regarding bikes, my life, and wellbeing- day 4. Not good.
Sunny though. Might f*ck off early and lie in the garden with a beer.0 -

Having failed to sort out my Steve McGarrett drinks should we sort an end of GCSE drink?
HM, lounging and beer fixes all woes. Go for it.0 -
1st of 2 days of enforced idleness post the latest (#12 in what seems to be developing into a never ending series) injection in the right eye. Infection control measures mean not allowed to do much at all. So just how much Carlton Kirby can I stomach on the Giro live?0

The GF wants a new car, I have reminded her many times that she in fact earns her own money and is empowered, therefore has the freedom to spend it on whatever she wants...

Masters at national enduro races tend to be a bigger fiend than senior unfortunately. Last year I rode a lot of steep tech so I was fast but less fit, this year I have ridden a lot of road bikes so I'm fit but not fast. It's also silly and dangerous to get back there...0 -

Evening Gents ( I am assuming that no sensible woman would ever stray into this place):
Best course of action is to let the particular person in your life do what they want. It keeps them happy. And why would you deny your darling happiness? And that love will come back to you.
Apart from that, I am drinking some port before sleep time as it makes me feel nice.Ecrasez l’infame0 -
