    Keeping it sane as i'm actually going to ride my bike on an actual road tomorrow.
    Rollers have been stashes temporarily. You've heard it from me: This winter has a bite left in it. I can feel it on my bones.
    Today was stunning but spent most of it cleaning, doing chores, DIY and schooling Shorty.

    I’m concerned. Don’t you have more than one shorty?

    Concluded with a Ledaig 10 and time for bed.

    Will do a century tomorrow - whether that is miles or kilometres remains to be seen. Back in time for the rugger anyway.

    1.5kg slab of pork belly defrosting ready for its slow cooking atop spuds boulanger tomorrow night.

    I had 3 lovely cans of imported
    San Miguel That probably nudges over 8 units, or a definite binge according to health guidelines. Units are silly. Nowhere near tipsy, just did today's crossword in less than 20 mins. I should go back on the wagon again as I'm probably just topping up to stave off the heebie jeebies. Better off on the smack and crack.

    One 'Shorty', one 'Tricky'.
    Tricky is Mrs P's project.

    Tricky has learning difficulties and needs 1 to 1 teaching. But despite that, she has come such a long way and I am a bit (over?) protective. I wouldn't expose her to anything that she may not understand. I delivered her and we have a helluva bond to the extent that it causes conflict with Mum. There's no favouritism whatsoever.
    Shorty is full of confidence, reaches out and curious about everything.
    However, this whole lockdown has been detrimental - she misses school and friends so much and so I use anything as a pick me up.

    You could have just said you don’t have a favourite. I have to compile a suitably understanding response now. Grrr

    Fan bloody tastic. Pic of the week without a doubt.

    The sky through the trees. The look on the dogs face, cider, log
    Perspective. One of the best pics I’ve seen for a while to be honest. Awesome πŸ‘

    Due to the rugby I am apparently up at 16.1 units (7 pints) already.
    I haven't even started "drinking" yet. Tomorrow is going to hurt. πŸ˜‰
    The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.
    I am not sure. You have no chance.

    On the bright side I got my Master 1/2 rebuilt after it's winter strip down during the Ireland game.

    Well this is how it looked before, and will look when rebuilt.
    Only parts needing replacing were the bottom headset bearings.

    I had a blue one on order in 2008. 3 months later and no sign of arriving Windwave gave me the one used in their ads since it was the right size. Quite glad they did.
    "My" blue one wasn't the Art Deco version you have though.

    Edit - This is my frame when on show from Google. I prefer my build.
