Thanks for the ice warning, might delay running until later. Need to go out to the shop in any case.
Usual WFH today, or trying to at least.

stopped raining, but cold

ride, cafe wfh, some bubbly

must drop hint to mrs s that the orangettes are depleted

Dry here as well. Forecast was correct. Work work day: includes planting a load of 200cm root balled yew trees, a good thing to do on a day when max temp due to be 2c. A rewarding beer or 2 to come this evening methinks. Enjoy your 'work' you desk jockeys. 😉

Not frozen enough though as the mud in the woods was still at epic levels.

Yeah Friday which means WFH followed by erm staying in

Tbh sounds more fun and rewarding than driving a desk all day.

Those new bars of yours will slice through all that and you won't feel a thing.

It’s in the sun room and ironically colder than the wife

Today will be spent googling how to clean oil from a leather sofa. I accidentally lobbed a punnet of olives at devil child’s head yesterday. In hindsight an axe would have made less mess.

Will be taking the S3 out as Soloist is so covered in schizer from yesterday's ride I don't even want to look at it at the mo'.

The new 'bars as good though - stiff, comfy, look smart with the SuperHero (TM) stem - combo v recommended.

AutoGlym Leather cleaner @seanoconn .
(Silly to waste good Olives though).

Very very very grey here. No wind. No frost. No sun. No colour. It's like the concentration of meh.

Preposterous. What makes you think Seano is middle class?

I used to work on the basis that children are like farts, as you can just about stand your own. Clearly that doesn't apply here, but I can sympathise with the sentiment

Decided to work in the lounge for bit to get a change of scenery. Will run round the 'burbs later on before cider o'clock. Exciting stuff.

Yep, that one isn’t mine. Strangely he’s an angel when his mum isn’t about.

Yup should emulsify the olive juice.

Also highly grey here with added greyness from the roads an some light mist. No ice though, woof has been walked coffee drunk during walk and now again playing around with Flexera and telling people off.

Preposterous. What makes you think Seano is middle class?

My wife insists we live a middle class lifestyle on my working class salary, does that count?

Working class salaries aren't always that bad.

Mmmmm, olives, must add some to my food order.
Today will be spent indoors, recovering. Like the day before, and every day since mid-December, when my daughter kindly shared you-know-what with me.

He reached for something to luzz at a misbehaving kid, and it wasn't a heavy glass ashtray, remote control or can of Scrumpy Jack. The item that came to hand was a punnet of olives. Pretty conclusive.

Leather sofa could also be suggestive, but not if it's one of those big blowsy ones from DFS, and it certainly must not be one that reclines. That would cancel out the olives.

On the subject of olives, my local Indian takeaway do a dish that sounds delicious on the menu, but when it turns up, it has half a can of unadvertised olives in it. About every 2 years, we forget, and order, and have to spend time picking them all out. Olives in a curry. Why would they do such a thing?

Good point about the olives as his weapon of choice H3. I shall now have to readjust my mental image of Seano away from 'One Punch Mickey' in Snatch.

It's a good job or else it would be 'Who the farq was he?!'.
