Have a good weekend
Wet here. Might try and go for a stroll somewhere even if it means getting soaked, or tank up on painkillers and try some zwift.
Gone from dry, to damp, to definitely wet as I've travelled west from Derby to Liverpool. Day of playing removals man as we clear out the rest of the equipment from the depot I'd rented out here. Hopefully home early enough for some pub based shenanigans, if not I've a feeling I'll get mullered on the sofa on either whisky, gin or brandy. Probably the most positive thing I'll have done all week
There's a petition to stop the clocks going back tonight. Bit late really.
Today will be mowstly chores, some running around, stock up for the log burner and feet up for 3 trips up Sestriere on the couch, that'll be exhausting.
Traditional slow start has been enjoyed. Female child has gone to work, unfortunately not gainfully employed. But volunteering in a charity shop gets her out the house and gives her something to do. Might try to ride a bicycle today, see how far I can get. If they put their clocks back they will have an extra hour of petitioning. But then nobody wants an extra hour of 2020

Already got the Giro on, 108 to go. Gonna be a lazy day methinks. Rain coming in later, but forecast dry tomorrow morning in time for an h-1 get up and out...
Had an extra glass of
Painkillerwine at dinner.Busy day walking dogs and doing jobs. Will head home soon and call Stropteen to see how she's getting on up at the Scouse COVID academy.
She's just realised that the clocks go back and is trying to work out how to bill the NHS for her extra hour of work
Me, couldn't care less, it'll give me an extra hour of drinking time/sleep before she returns.
Everybody on shift at 2am on this date will automatically get this extra hour I’d imagine
Pity the pubs shut at ten though
Guess I'll just go out and ride my bike in the extra hour of daybreak instead while the OH sleeps like a log.
How things change...or have I been drinking too much?
I was hoping to be mullered tonight, it was certainly the plan, but as is often the case plans can change. As for meeting the OH's stalker that was in the rarified pubs where she lives, out in the middle of nowhere, whereas I'm overnighting at my place which is a bit closer to civilisation, but also closer to the C-19 d*ckheads. Sheffield which is going tier 3 imminently isn't much more than a stone's throw away and Chesterfield which is tier 2 is just over the hill.
Have a drink for me Stevo!
I’ll have to have a word with a friend who runs his company and employs others, though they work Monday to Friday unless they get a call out. But I’ll ask. I’ve always been salaried of late so the problem doesn’t arise. If I'd put a nine hour night shift in and only got paid for eight I’d be p!ssed off, that’s for sure. Equally if you’d just started with a firm in March I can’t see the company paying you for an hours work you never actually did, when the clocks go forward
I wonder if she'll let me spend that £156 on shiny new bike parts
I may have misplaced a decimal point there...
She grafts for it, that's for sure.
She's very savvy with money tbh, probably less impulsive than I am, but spends far, far more than me when she decides to splurge.
As a northern bloke I find it mind boggling how much the family spend on fripperies whenever we go "dahn sarf", but it seems that everyone is living that way down there, certainly in their neck of the woods.
I sound like I'm complaining, I'm not I can assure you, but it is another world. Personally, money doesn't bother me too much, it's a reward for doing something well, but it doesn't neccessarily make you happy, it just gives you more options.
