Have a good day
Already?
Haven't even been to bed yet
Did someone say it was Wednesday? Well that's good to know, 'cos I haven't got a clue.
Off to Birmingham in 30 minutes or so, another day of bad news, but once it's done it's done. The OH has taken an extra night shift at the hospital tonight, can I run her in at 8pm, 90 minutes round trip, so today is going to be a grueller.
Apart from that another boring day of doing not a lot.
Unexpected lie in. Must get up and ready for yoga.
Forecast is looking ok so hopefully the roads will dry out and I'll get a bike ride in later.
There's a very unhappy cat nearby. Not sure what's wrong.
Missed today’s run, so that later plus some wood stuff.
I really do need to get on zwift though and burn some energy.
Off to dump to get rid of last bits of house Nr. 1 job (booked in @ 10,.10) and then get mopping and cleaning plus clean up some cement dust. Weather looks censored from in here.
Must get me a new pair of Pink marigold's on the way.
Fantastic Giro. It would be a total irony of it didn't get all the way to Milan.
See ya later gurls.
Hope all goes as well as can be TLW and CB. Today being Wednesday I shall go to a pub and have a drink for you, if anyone else would like me to have a drink for them jsut shout.
Onwards and upwards...

allowing any more would be condoning their ill-mannered behaviour, they need to learn that 'no' means 'no'
Who am I kidding? I have entire Mois Sans

"I spent most of my money on birds, booze and fast cars: the rest of it I just squandered." [George Best]
We moved to a small market town on the edge of the Peak District a couple of years ago where one of the local ne'er do wells took a particular shine to her. She's always up for a good time.
So started a campaign of psychological terror against me, but far worse physical terror against my OH culminating in him sparking her out on a dark country lane leading back to our house last week leaving her unconcious at the side of the road for most of the night.
Having failed to arrest him on Sunday night, the police have finally got their man today, the OH is giving a witness statement as I type this and he is being tried tomorrow where hopefully he'll be heading back behind bars tomorrow night.
Tonight she will still go in and be the lead doctor in A&E.
Hero doesn't do her justice.
So took the weather window opportunity to get a gravel bike ride in, stayed dry middle of the day though that wind was/is a cold one. Tried to pick routes avoiding the mud baths as far as possible, which it wasn't always. Had a couple of slip spills in deep rutted byways, the 38s don't do mud well, all v low speed stuff so no probs. Fun though 95% of the time.
I need to get winter gear sorted. With all the Gummint flippity floppity babbling, need to be prepped for outdoor exercise as the escape to sanity, and it won't be good weather like April was.
He's in court tomorrow for an initial hearing and whether bail will be granted, with the trial likely to be sometime at the beginning of November.
I've literally just come back from Chesterfield Police station having given my version of events in a witness statement too.
As if there wasn't enough going on.....
They walked over asked him to count the hats on the bar and told him if he ever said or did anything else again there would be many more hats and it wouldn’t be a polite chat. Stopped it forevermore
Perhaps the OH is right and it's time for another house move, we've only been here in Ashbourne a couple of years as it is, but the thought that we can walk into him or his mates any time we venture out isn't a pleasant one.
Never liked the place personally, it's really in the middle of nowhere and always thought we should be living in the Derwent Valley, I've got a place just outside of Matlock, but even there feels too close to the bunch of arseholes.
The OH has family down in Buckinghamshire, on the cusp of the Chilterns. Perhaps this is the incentive to forge a new life closer to her parents and with WFH likely to continue for the foreseeable I only need touch base with the office in Derby a couple of days a week.
We'll see.....
I have considered calling in a few old favours to rectify the situation, but it just brings you down to the pond-lifes level.
Hopefully, the justice system will deal with him in a fit and proper manner.
If they don't it's good to have options
