Moist ride to the office and in super early for a change. Looked like the sun was rising in the west this morning, maybe UFOs have landed.
Might regret the shorts and short sleeved jersey later after listening to the weather forecast.0 -
He will have learnt something Oxo.
What exactly did you damage TLW? A Rowan, perhaps an Oak sapling?
Chilly here. It's like wot you lot will get.
How's the eye 'Loon?
Re.: Stevo.
A) He got piste off piste and hasn't surfaced
He's enjoying some French sausage and hasn't surfaced yet.
C) He's buried underneath 20ft of snow and the sniffer dog's have been shown a £5 note as a scent reference but hasn't surfaced yet.
Who knows.
Today i'll be mowstly waiting for deliveries between coughing.

Morning, brisk damp and very murky today. Spending today doing invoicing for stuff then some advanced chair rotating and paper plane making. Also need to order some new Lipos for some of the static cameras joyous0

An eff of a lot better than it was on Monday night thanks. Still gritty but I'm coming to the end of the 48 hours no touch, no water, no nothing period, so can start to do things other than my bleepin' tax return.Pinno wrote:How's the eye 'Loon?
Just as well my good eye, the not misbehaving one, is 6/4 on the tests which is pretty good; 6/6 (m) is what used to be 20/20 (ft) so my good eye can read at 6m what the 'standard' eye can read at 4m distance. Is why I wear safety glasses a lot inc on the bike despite the occasional odd look. I think safety specs are rather stylish myself; plus i could really do without being struck by a bumblebee or whatever, twice last year had one bounce off the lens.0 -

My eyes are dry and the steroidal drops make them even dryer even though I was told to '...keep them well lubricated...' so I use Bolle contour edge with all manner of interchangeable lenses. I too, think they look quite smart.

Those Bolle look a bit cooler than my big ol' rectangular frames. (I was being slightly tongue in cheek). I note can get them through likes of Toolstation - got one local - as well as Amazon. But read as fixed lens. Looking at Bolle Contour range. So can you mix and interchange the lenses then? Mind you, at £6-7 no biggie to get clear, yellow, sun separately. What about the side protection? I like good wrap round to feel safer.0

Yes, basically. If you get the one's that aren't fully framed such as the above but not these:
See the ^ little rivets? Stops you changing the lenses.
...But these look really cool:

Afternoon, looking at ordering a Wahoo, wheels and tyres for a long ride on the touring bike (currently set up with gravel tubeless and I don't want to switch). Hooray for no money. Office move on Friday so I'm starting to box stuff up now and drink coffee...0

I expect Stevo has finshed slithering about for the day and is either enjoying a massive slab of cake back at the hotel/chalet, a cup of vin chaud, or whatever passes for cider in Chamonix. The git.

Evening folks,
Busy day at work with an early runner as it was the girl’s parents evening at school. Usual comments from all of them about what a slacker she is, always chatting and disturbing others. Oh no, that’s me. She got the usual glowing reports that are almost embarrassing. Her results are very good as well so we are extremely happy to say the least. It would be good for any kid but after the trouble she’s had the last few years it really is amazing.
Going to the pub to celebrate later.0 -

Cracking day, morning in Argentiere and afternoon in Le Tour. Legs ache a bit but beer and a session in the pool/sauna/steam room have helped. Large amounts of fried cow and red wine a bit later should compete the rehab. "I spent most of my money on birds, booze and fast cars: the rest of it I just squandered." [George Best]0 -

We found a place with some very easy on the eye barmaids last night and drank lots of gin and vodka there to see how much more attractive they would get . Would have had cider but the offered me Magners FFS.

Who knows. Last night and today were so good I forgot to update till now.
We got cheese poisoning last night after eating our own body weight in raclette. Or maybe it was a reaction with the gin and vodka? More excess to follow shortly.
In other good news, there's a strip joint in Chamonix :twisted:"I spent most of my money on birds, booze and fast cars: the rest of it I just squandered." [George Best]0 -
Glad you're all well in your respective endeavours. Our pup is a joy. He came to us to be let out for a call of nature this morning which I'm sure you would agree is commendable.
Oh, it was 4:30am.....keep smiling Harv.0 -

He better learn to be quick then. But good habits need to be ingrained now so has to be done.
Our older dog had an aversion to rain. We had to hold an umbrella for her. I also spent an afternoon putting a dog flap in the door. She took one look at it and (more or less) said f**k that boy..0 -
We trained our dog to ring a bell at the back door when she needs a sh!t or a p!ss. Unfortunately she now does it if she's hungry, thirsty, or just wants a fuss.0

Ha, once dogs get an idea of how something like that works they will play you like a piano.0 -

We had a cat called Midnight. When we fitted a cat flap, she was very suspicious and managed to snag herself in her first attempt to use it. She tried to go through it sideways.
From then on, in her mistrust of the cat chomping contraption, she would go to the furthest point in the utility room away from it and run as fast as she could through it.

My lot open the door for the cat, so she has stopped using the cat flap, unless they are all out and she gets fed up of me ignoring herPinno wrote:hopkinb wrote:We trained our dog to ring a bell at the back door when she needs a sh!t or a p!ss.
