    Long walk with the hounds and now chilling with a cuppa looking at cars now the insurance have confirmed the car is covered, just hope it is written off.

    Dads taxi stuff so we might as well go out for food in town.

    Good excuse for a V8 upgrade B)

    Elbowloh - gws.

    Been out with hounds as usual. Time to phone a few rellies who live Up North this afternoon, followed by a run.

    That Movistar document is really good if anyone is bored: very well made, really nice.

    Walked to the old dear's via Richmond Park and Wombledon Common, very muddy in places as expected. Not sure what the idiot in white trainers trying to walk round a quagmire expected. Bits of the path by Beverly Brook have been 'improved'. I'm not convinced it's an improvement, idiots in white trainers probably do.

    It will be on the Lego thread as soon as I have uploaded the video.

    Glad you're ok elbow. Did some thing similar a few years back but managed to patch up the ripped bibs.
    I think I'll stick to riding down box hill on Zwift, you can take the bend at the bottom of the zig zag at 50mph in all conditions :smiley:

    Cor I wouldn’t want to go anywhere near that if the temperature dropped a few degrees
    Especially if you were half way though it and your bike got frozen in.

    Seems to have been busy on here today, unlike at thistle towers.
    Overslept and woke up to a dusting of snow this morning.
    Skipped legs bums and tums did some fake festive 500 miles. Wanted to do both but my knees didn't feel up to it.
    Playing with an SDR this afternoon. Didn't realise pagers were still used so widely, I thought everyone had moved to mobile phones/SMS.

    Is there a little Lego seano?

    Are you trying to imply that Seano's house has wheels?

    You need to watch the ball contraption vid and look a little more closely.
