    Walk hounds then a reasonable virtual run with a pal to ensure I finish the year on a round number.

    Then a few jobs followed by holiday ale

    Morning All, currently white fluffy stuff falling from the heavens making everywhere look clean for a bit. Hopefully will keep most of the walking dead at home. Only excursion out will be dog walking shortly and that will be fun.
    Too many bikes according to Mrs O.

    Shoulder still really sore, where the clavical meets the shoulder.
    So deffo no riding for me.

    Tossing plumber isn't turning up again to fit the washbasin in the downstairs toilet, that delay means the other tradesmen can't come to do their bits. The new fuse box that was fitted 3 weeks ago has tripped 5 times since then, with 3 just this morning.

    Ciao

    Been hacking down all night so whilst the sky is blue and the sun is out one knows that its going to be frickin' freezing out there.

    TDV is WFH aujourd hui so will mentor bambini and see how the Day. Very good mate is having a rough one at the mo' so am trying to meet up with him.

    Also did a bit of trial pimpin' to the S3 yesterday (gold chain, changing silver bolts for black, minor stuff) so will drag it out and see if it looks any good. May also post piccie on here for outlandish commentary.

    Apart from that, coffee.

    Why not gold bolts with a gold chain? Then put a huge diamond solitaire on an outfront Garmin mount (gold coloured also).

    Morning, going to pick up a car for the wife in a bit but it’s dull so I’m not excited.

    Was meant to be doing a big hill day in the snow but the two other guys bailed, we went up a hill yesterday and can barely move. I took my skis and promptly forgot how to ski...

    Goldie Lookin' Chain?

    Gold pedals as well maybe?

    This has potential.....

    Tbh, the normal silver chain may go back on as soon as I look at it in the blimmin' cold light of day....

    I did this when meeting a shiny manhole cover on the apex of a corner one frosty night a few years ago. Took a long time to heal fully, but not too long to start riding again.

    Morning from the cold land of heck, cold here too. Some yellow warning of snow nonsense while I can see nothing but blue sky so Mr Fish wont be getting paid this month.

    More fun of work to be had for me an OH also I think my coffee maker needs seeing too as the coffee is rather gritty

    Another day of blissful ignorance in tier 4 commences

    Quite possibly. I don't think it's a bad one though.

    Now that H3 has topped playing Doctor, E to the L could refer to this:

    https://www.amazon.com/Charles-Hurt-Himself-Playing-Broken/dp/1989041035

    Alternatively, unless E to the L follows fracture and dislocation protocols MF would say he’s banged his shoulder and recommends a hot Radox bath and some ale maybe with some gentle moving it around exercises if Etc the L can be bothered.

    Piffling small amount of snow here, probably gone in an hour, but enough to delay deliveries in from our partners, so that we've only just loaded up for the day. Early lunch then out this afternoon delivering parcels that should have arrived before Christmas.
    Expecting the abuse on the doorsteps to be high this year, as if its our fault.

    In other news CB told the young doctor to sling her hook again last night, the ungrateful cow. It's painful to do, but I'm nobodies doormat.
  • thistle_thistle_ Posts: 6,896
    50k on the turbo seemed tougher than expected today. Could've done with a drip tray instead of a mat, not sure why it was so sweaty today. Maybe it was the instant covid I caught at the supermarket first thing.
    Declined the option to ride with Sarah Gigante, she wasn't exactly pottering around.

    Afternoon folks,
    Slow start was enjoyed, should probably do something. Going for a short walk with the Mrs shortly, other than that not much planned.

    Morning exercise enjoyed until child 2 rode his bike inexplicably into a bush and got offended when I politely enquires how this might have happened. Cue family row, abrupt end to exercise and home to a very quiet house.

    Right, where’s the Lego?

    It survived, though it needed surgery, unlike me.
