Looks cold out. Might venture up towards the snowline later on the fun bike/on foot for some fresh air.0 -
Morning, white over again with frost, not sure if I will be cycling today, one of my mates came off his bike yesterday he ended up in hospital to have a finger straightened and taped up, be carful out on your bikes black ice is very dangerous.
Have a good day

Fire is a good choice, though burning political buildings seems like effort. Log burner is going its a brisk 0.2c here currently so thats fun on the fingers.
More work for a bit till I cant be bothered so probably about ten minutes, had some new bibtights arrive yesterday so may go for a spin in them see how warm they are.
TLW hope your friends alright after the tumble and finger de wonking.
Planning on seeing new years in same as I do every year, by sleeping.0 -
Just ordered some handlebar tape off Wiggle. £5.42.

Morning all. Too cold for me, a cr,ap nights sleep with foxes fighting in the road. We even have frost! Now in t4 so won't be able to takectheckids to Kingston lacy or corfe Castle. Would take them for a walk on the beach but its going to be heaving.
May set fire to stuff in the chiminea and I can find some old tyres and car batteries.0 -
I wonder if sg is suggesting that HMG might try a similar false flag exercise to the reichstagsbrand. Perhaps set the Palace of Westminster ablaze, blame the EU, fit up some unfortunate EU employee, and force through a decent, upstanding, common-sense, British version of the reichstagsbrandverordnung. Followed by widespread intimidation and imprisonment of opposition mp's to get some form of ermächtigungsgesetz voted through parliament to allow good old Bozza to rule by decree.
Cold here. Not much planned beyond walking the dog.0 -
Getting dressed this morning my boots seem have got further away from me over the last week 😕Pinno, מלך אידיוט וחרא מכונאי0

Hoppy, you are Scummings and ICMFP.
Wait for the frost to lift and the temp to get above zero. Supposed to be sunny spells around midday, so plan to get in a last ride of the Greatest Year EVER. Continuing with the gravel dalliance, makes sense to be on non-tarmac = not a lot of black ice risk. Found this week a not yet officially opened but ready to use greenway section cycle route with excellent dry surface, no mud, going back to play on that again.
And today I will def be carrying door key option #2.0 -

no ice, srm says zero degrees, dry in town but a small river now flows across the road near the summit of hampstead, making the roads wet all the way down to camden, definitely one to avoid if it gets any colder
no mince pies in cafe, sighmy bike - faster than god's and twice as shiny0 -
Brr... indoors or outdoors, that is the question.
In time, I will pi$$ on Rees Moggs grave.seanoconn - gruagach craic!0 -
Got back from v cold but sunny and dry Hound walk, went to take Soloist out on post build shake down ride and ...... yup, the heavans opened.
Now just killing time before having a shower.

We've got one of those at the crossroads on the hill.sungod said:a small river now flows across the road near the summit of hampstead, making the roads wet all the way down to camden, definitely one to avoid if it gets any colder
The water main is leaking everywhere but neither the water board or the Council will do anything about it. Whole junction was frozen solid.
Suspect it will take one if the idiots on the next road down to spin across it, through someone's fence, roll 50m down the side of the hill and end in a blaze of glory on the bottom road before they come and have a look at it again.

Sketchy af in a couple of places this morning but managed to stay upright.
Went down the canal because it's gravelly and will be grippy- apart from the bits that were saturated and frozen solid because CRT haven't got a clue about anything.
Place was heaving too. So much for not driving places to go out. Nearly got doored as well by some muppet parking on the tow path.
Here's a more colourful picture of the Welsh not so countryside.

Afternoon folks,
Another slow start enjoyed, about to have a coffee then try to wobble over to the old dear's via park and common. Stuck some riser bars on the MTB yesterday as my wrist still can't cope with flats. Hopefully won't hurt but it's not too far if it does.
Think we'll have a quiet night in for the new year. Remember to lift your left leg just before midnight so you can start the new year on the right foot.0 -
Shoulder still fecked. Put up a new stairgate (needed a drill MD everything) and now gonna do some more mural painting0

I was going to say “any pictures of her norks?” But know that you’ll say something like “she’s 14 you Pardo” or “no because she’s dead” or something to attempt to make me feel bad or look awful and i’d Have to pretend I gaveafuckoxoman said:Mutt taken for very long walk via the vets for his prescription. Why did we have a white dog, had to bath him when I got back. Did a good impression of bambi on ice at one stage, just wish I'd filmed it. Eldest has his GF coming over as part of his support bubble later.

Managed a whole 14 miles, can barely move my wrist now. Loads of people out, not unexpected. View from the Wimblebergs was gloomy

That got bleepin' cold. Was just on the plus side of zero at start but sun was out so ok. Nice ride around on mix of dry gravel and ice free tarmac back roads. However, last 10km were in the freezing fog just settling into the Vale. Sub zero and fingers got frozed.
Now then, a few drinkies and nibbles to come.0 -
Busy day, mostly outdoors. Got up, walked hounds in the sticks, back home to change and straight out for a leisurely 2 hour ride with mate to see off 2020 and shed a few ounces of lard before tucking into wine and cider this evening
Was cold out but the ice seemed to have melted by time I got on the bike so no mishaps. Did manage a little accidental powerslide turning right out of a junction in The Panzer before that, although Mrs. 666 was not impressed."I spent most of my money on birds, booze and fast cars: the rest of it I just squandered."

2 hours from curry house opening and already peckish.
Current list kidney damage this Christmas period...
3 litres of vodka
1 and 1/2 jack Daniels
2 bottles tequila
1 and 1/2 bottles tia Maria
4 bottles of wine
1 bottle slow gin...hic.
But you know what they say, if your urine smells like alcohol, you may have a drinking problem.
If your urine tastes like alcohol, you definitely do have a drinking problem.

Given the house a spruce up. Done a couple of crosswords to keep the brain ticking over. Going to collect the doggo from the "welfare groom" it has been having.
P'r'aps a glass or two of wine. Never been @rsed by the passing of another year, except for when I was a teen and it was a chance to try and get off with someone.0 -

There are now 2 parks on Cottenham Park Road, but Cottenham Park is not one of them, it's on Cambridge Road and Melbury Gardens.
