    Morning, ride with some pals and then back to chopping wood and moving it from my parents. Load one yesterday.....

    Enjoyable 20 odd mile ride into work on dark, slick road, bit of moisture in the air, but overall a pleasant ride. Now waiting for the first coffe of the day while I gather my thoughts for another day of parcel delivery madness.

    No more than a couple of hours sleep last night, so hopefully this mornings ride will help me on my way tonight. If I'm feeling too perky after 5pm I could always cycle home as well, but with any luck the train will be taking the strain.

    Cooking for the staff today, so vile bacon and sausage cobs will be sizzling away in the next 30 minutes, then I'll get down to making lunch as soon as all the first run of deliveries are out the door.

    Got staff wages to do as well at some point today. Fed and paid. Lucky boggers!

    Pouring down here.
    The inkling of motivation I had when I got up has already been taken :disappointed:

    Need to do some food shopping anyway.

    Morning, wet and cool here. Taxi service for OH and fatherly advice guru to the lads today. Young oxo has hopefully decided on college course / career options. He's not gone engineering like me or his brother, he fancies bench joinery. Not sure why be hes going to give it a try.
    Too many bikes according to Mrs O.

    Morning folks,

    Dog walking delayed slightly due to [email protected] weather, though I think we're still going to get soggy. Glad we use Mrs. 666's car to transport muddy hounds. Admin beckons this afternoon, whoopee.

    Next week could get very busy as well, not sure I'm looking forward to it.

    Windy or what?! Must finish the last of my Christmas cards, do some chores and try and fill the day up.

    You rose to the bait. Silly boy. Sez one who has indeed done the same more than once, effing scaredy cat trollbot that it is. 🤔

    Piddling down in these parts. Not venturing out. Best do some christmas cards for the far flung relatives. Still too early for putting up the tree etc.

    This could be a long boring day. C'mon Iggy, I'm bored I'm chairman of the bored...

    Solidarity.

    I think we're sorted for Christmas bar some last minute food and booze additions. Early for us, but we've had to be on the ball to have things delivered to Europe on time.

    Silicon sealing some of the kitchen and Zwift, today. Might pop out for a coffee.

    Morning folks,
    Traditional slow start is being enjoyed. Might make another cup of tea soon.
    Bits of pottering to be done. Need to go in search of a few supplies.
    Ben's comment made me laugh, to be fair if I was in a pub with someone and they made the same leap my response would have been exactly the same.

    Slightly amateurish mistake for a member of 7,000 posts plus Ben. 1-0 coopster I’m afraid. We’ll have to antagonise you a bit more to toughen you up.

    Christmas dinner trial run on the go, cheers! Whoops, what time is it?

    Sunny, warm and a bit windy. 2 out of 3 ain't bad I s'pose.

    Busy day doing stuff round here. Long walk this evening which was a nice bit of serenity after a day of power-toll activity.

    I reckon the mods are having to deal with so many flags these days they won't notice (assuming they pay any attention these days). Someone has taken to flagging almost every post Coopster makes regardless of content - which is a bit odd.

    Ah I'm just getting a bit sick and tired of one poster (he's not a bot) being relentlessly rude to people who conduct themselves politely all the time.

    He might not have told anyone to f*** off (that's my style, I'm afraid), but he talks to people like they're kids and he's the headmaster in "Kes".

    Anyway... fresh pedals and tape on the winter bike.

    Go on, name and shame Ben. It's probably not who I would have thought it is.
