Morning, freezing at the moment, cycling later, a few little jobs to do after breakfast.
Have a good day0 -
How long until springtime...? Wrap up warm day, is looking foggy and c-c-cold outside. Off to the big hospital soon for a heart MRI and ECG. 😳 What? Volunteering as part of a research project, they need an age range of 'normally healthy' individuals as control group. Free check up innit.0

Meh, cold out there and in here where the kids inability to shut the ferkin doors is even more irritating
Not sure if I will get away with cycling again later

Lie in (compared to yesterday) so no going outside yet. Looks beautiful outside, although I reckon it's a bit chilly.

WFH with a dodgy internet connection.
Builders in doing a new block-paved driveway.
Took delivery of tongue and groove boards to start lining the man-cave.0 -
Ayup!
Cold, foggy ride ridden.
Now basking in the crisp autumnal sunshine.
No wind, no rain is a win-win for me.
Umming and ahhing about buying a plot of land to build my own eco-house on. Written offers have to be in tomorrow.

You know you've crossed a threshold when your bowel screening kit comes in the post.
Cold, yes indeedy.
My aris is sore after yesterday's epic. Well, at least I think that is the reason.
Hard drive died. £400 for data recovery quoted. Does anyone know if I can get this cheaper?
I'm peckish.

Sounds bloody pricey, maybe that includes the cost of shipping it to Nigeria to recover the data?pinno said:

None of these pre-dawn pics for me it was pretty much light by time I got up. Volunteered for one of those COVID surveys so spent a bit of the morning sticking a swab down the back of my throat and up my nose. Strifey is out and the dogs are being looked after for the day so all is peaceful. Time for lunch...

Interesting morning deep in the bowels of the big hospital. Research team really friendly and informative. Spent what felt like a long 50 minutes in state of the art scanner, slightly wider than the standard tubes. Radiographers showed me this video image they had put together of my heart muscles beating away, jings. The scans are for research purposes but a consultant will review to confirm all normal. ECG all fine as well. And because bloods taken, I get a C19 antibody test thrown in for free.
Feeling good about myself. So there.

Hmmm.....homers_double said:Great, tier 3 for another three weeks.
3 weeks?
I can't see my area (Derby/Derbyshire Dales) getting out of the highest tier for 3 months, let alone 3 weeks.
I'm saving a shedload of money from not going to the pub, so not such a bad situation really.
Unfortunately, my nicotine habit has gone through the roof, so I'm not really any better off

I seem to be spending my extra money at the butcher and wine merchant.
Now my wife decides she doesn't want to eat as much red meat and is pregnant so can't drink.
And wants to go veggie.
Long pedal this morning followed by zoom calls with new future colleagues.

Dodged tier 3 here although most of the rest of Kent got whacked with tier 3. The pubs are open next week but Strifey isn't a pub-goer. Might have to get some other woman to masquerade as my OHhomers_double said:Great, tier 3 for another three weeks.

Good chicken is also expensive. Good red meat has extra pregnancy nutrition. Just say you're following the science.

Oh yeah, I remember reading that at the time and thinking jeez there's a bleep that needs a good kicking, or a spell in jail, or indeed both. Trust at least one has happened.Stevo_666 said:

Evening folks,
Busy day in the office after a couple of hours on Teams doing training. Managed to pedal in on the old man bike, limp wrist still giving me gyp. Didn't take any pictures because I'm rubbish.
Ride looks good SB but are the new colleagues worth getting a picture of? You probably don't want to get sacked before you start I guess.0 -
Unbelievably, the c*nt is still at large.
According to a source I have he has a crime sheet as long as his arm, yet has never done more than a few weeks bird in his life.
After the initial interviews and statements taken by the police, it's all gone very quiet tbh. He was due to be in court last week regarding the renewing of his bail conditions but has claimed C-19 and as of now neither the OH or myself have any idea where we stand.
Whatever happens, in the short-term we are spending most of our time at my place now, a further 15 miles away from where the OH lives which keeps the twat at arms length so to speak, but we want a resolution asap, however Covid.....
Whatever the outcome is, we won't be staying in the area now. Our minds made up that we will be leaving Derbyshire for pastures new, possibly Stratford-upon-Avon, Cheshire or who knows where.0 -
