    They'll be un peu vicié by now, surely???

    Greyish, cool-ish, cloudy-ish day here. Dog walked, now on DIY duty again.

    Morning

    Parkrun this morning, maybe.
    Might go and watch/help with a local TT later as my bike's still waiting to be checked over.

    Morning All and Hapy New Year,

    Bright and breezy today after another good lie in. Time for a dog walk soon then over to Tooting so tidy up the MIL's grave - what utter joy. I might dance on it when Stressbag isn't looking >:)

    "...un peu vicié..."; if you find any SG, just stick them in the oven.

    Cat brought me a mouse last night and then another this morning. He's trying to tell me something.

    Exploited empty roads.
    The rest of the day's itenerarary:

    Wash car.
    Drop OH and toots at Gt Grandma's.
    Eat.
    Eat some more.
    Pick up OH and toots from Gt Grandma's.
    Eat.
    Sleep.

    Happy 2020. I have feeling in my bones that it will be a better year than last year.

    On the bike or in the car?

    I had a beautiful drive to the little smoke first thing, had 20 miles of dual carriageway almost completely to myself as the sun was coming up. It will be a car park again tomorrow morning on the way into work.

    afternoon :) happy new year Twenty20 (nah that will never catch on)

    some trepidation with what this year will bring I think, but Ill strive to continually remind myself to enjoy the good bits when they happen, to get through the not so good bits

    @awavey - you look after yourself on those roads you ride on. You keep mentioning the near misses and the idiots.
    Wrap yourself in a high vis vest - goes over your clothing and you cannot miss it. (I presume you're commuting?).

    Car. Lovely drive, empty roads.

    There was a few stragglers wandering around. To lay any stereotype on them would be quite wrong as they looked like they probably couldn't spell Banjo, let alone play one.

    thanks :) and yes most of the numpties I encounter are on the commute,the leisure rides are friendlier for the most part but I can ride for 3-4hrs and meet as many cars as I do in 20min stretch of commute, so I guess its just a numbers game
