nippy but at least temporary relief from the relentless cloud and rain

ride, coffee, wfh, bubbly

may get some extra bubbly in, someone keeps drinking it

    Can't decide whether to do the festive 500 indoors or outdoors. Weather's looking nice for today at least.

    Have a good day

    Mmm shoot sleep whilst resisting the temptation to kill the wife after she drove my car into a flood, on a road I told her to avoid because of the flood.

    Obviously insurance doesn’t cover her stupidity and to add insult to injury she abandoned it with the turkey still in the car.

    Ciao

    Sitting on the counter top waiting for coffee to chukka chukka chukka through the moka pot.

    No change outside here - still hacking.

    Lets see where we head with today shall we.....

    Best set fire to all her stuff to learn her then.

    I mean, what the actual censored ?

    No work today! Wrapping and assembling presents today. Wife's on the phone now, think something is up with the MiL with the COVID. Think she's gone to hospital...

    Sorry to hear that elbow, I'll avoid mother in law jokes. It's not the news any of us would want to hear today. Best of luck with a speedy recovery.

    That's a good entry into the 'spread the festive joy' there tlw1. Good luck with sorting out all that.

    It has stopped raining here! Gotta get movin' early, brisk walk to the gym, last sesh before it T4 closes. Then quite a bit of gear and bike cleaning after yesterday's adventures.
  • CargobikeCargobike Posts: 748
    Ay up!
    No rain or wind to speak of, but still sh*tty under wheel.
    Just taken delivery of copious amounts of bike chains, GT85, brake pads, Scwalbe Marathon Plus tyres and other assortments ready for CB's annual mid-winter bike servicing shenanigans over the weekend.

    Staff Xmas bonuses paid, along with charitable donations to a couple of causes close to CB's heart.

    Feeling quite virtuous.

    Delivering until 4pm, then officially done for another year, yeah rightto!!

    So, so much to catch up on over the next few days, but sometimes a change is as good as a rest

    However peed off I am, this is more important, hope everything goes ok
  • CargobikeCargobike Posts: 748
    @elbowloh Got fingers and toes crossed that everything turns out right.

    In other news, that weird yellowy blob in the sky is causing carnage. So low and blinding yet the tw*ts in their cars keep on driving around oblivious to anyone else on the road. Already had a member of staff knocked off this morning. Not what you need on Xmas Eve.
  • oxomanoxoman Posts: 11,452
    Morning. WFW but wondering why, skeleton crew doing absolutely Jack. Sorry to hear about the MIL elbow, hope all goes well. CB hope your guys ok. TLW I thought your covered on insurance as long as you dont go past a road closed sign. I know my SIL wrecked hers, she actually got through the flood but the water played havoc with the electrics and they wrote it off a couple of months after the event and paid out less excess. Fingers crossed you can sort it out. Currently blue skys, sun and minus 2 here at the minute.
    Too many bikes according to Mrs O.

    @elbowloh @Cargobike not what you need to hear especially on Christmas eve, I hope things work out, best of luck

    Good Moaning,
    No work, but the weather forecast is censored and there are tons of cars about (where's the fire?). In T3 but I think I’d prefer a proper lockdown. Anyway I recon the rollers are the best bet today, safer at least
    Have a good Christmas eve

    Fingers crossed for the MiL Elbow.

    < Spreading festive cheer entry Nr.2 >

    The daft old bat (though I don't mean her any harm), my OH's grandmother (83) had a stroke yesterday. ...and that was the only news we had for 6 hours.
    Transpires it was minor. We were deliberating that she may need to go 75 miles down the road to the specialist unit and if she would get a vaccine on admission etc...
    Bit of a relief that she has been sent home on medication.
    Her daughter is spending the next few days with her in a bubble, so at least she'll have company tomorrow as we were not planning to visit.

    In other news, the weather has put pedalling plans out the window.

    Talking of plans @tlw1 : my OH says 'Ham sandwich?'

    That's the sort of reason why Mrs. 666 isn't allowed to drive my car and has a 1l Polo for her own use. You should punish her by making her drive around in a small old shed of car.

    Only trouble is, we have no idea what hospital they've taken her too. Whisked her off by ambulance and didn't tell us where they're going. Not the local one though. She has her mobile, but not answering calls or messages so far.

    Or perhaps CB can recommend an e-cargobike.

    Morning folks,
    wfw, but not for much longer then I'm done until the 4th.
    Good luck with the MiL Elobow, worrying if you can't even find out what is happening at the moment. Hope your oppo is alright CB, try to keep it rubber side down people.
    TLW, on the bright side if someone has smashed it that should make a write off a no brainer, water damage is horrible and you wouldn't want it back after a repair.
    Was hoping to do some wrapping last night but wound up playing the part of peace keeper and then went for a long walk with the lad so he could vent in safety.
    Have a good one people

    ^^^ Phark me. I was thinking I'd had a big day.

    @elbowloh Hope the news is good when it turns up!
    @tlw1 Is there a pre-nup, and who ends up better off from it? :smile:

    Finished mowing paddock this morning first up. Sodding rabbits have made a right mess up near water tanks, so that was an extra job to fill in the diggings... Then fired up the brush cutter demolition tool for an hour of weed and scrub genocide.

    Back on the tools after lunch to build new shelving in the shed, took a little longer than expected, but looking good. That's only first half of it though, so Boxing Day jobs list looks full already to finish it.

    No wrapping or other stuff to worry about here - we're not "doing" the gifts thing this year. Lunch tomorrow at friends place, so all that's required is turn up, eat, drink and be merry. I've agreed to make a green apple sorbet (avec secret ingredient) which should be easy enough.

    Staff member is ok, realised car driver couldn't see him and bailed out.
    Unfortunately over £6k of cargobike has been written off.
    [email protected] of a car driver is claiming cyclist was in the wrong and cargobikes shouldn't even be on the road.
    Good god, there's idiots everywhere :lol:
