    Get the tissues out for what? 🤔

    Coffee imbibing while consulting changed forecast, currently hard frost but showing belt of rain expected in couple of hours. Buxxer, working this morning. Could I push it back until later? No, the no show yesterday boiler man (emergency call out it seems...) supposedly coming this pm instead. Buxxer.

    Cold out obviously. No longer picturesque with the snow all rutted.
    As it's still Australia Day, felicitations to Spinner, if that is not too politically incorrect.

    All that fuss about a fugly car yesterday...

    @darkhairedlord :

    Way back in the olden days (2008), I dismantled 2 dodgy Dysons to make 1...
    Wind clock forward to the Etape Caledonia and muggins coughed his way around the 86 miles after being diagnosed with exercise induced asthma and put on steroids...

    Wind clock forward again when I gave an eccentric Italian* a lift to the Climate Challenge Fund convention.
    'Toni' was applying for funds for his micro project which was attaching Dyson motors to Turbo trainers (amongst other things) and using them in schools to show kids how to generate electricity.
    I had said how I dismantled a couple of Dysons a little while back and he immediately said "I hope you wore a mask".

    I joined the dots.

    *Aren't they all?

    Anyway, snow has gone, it's pi$$ing down, toots to school and worse, trying to create a 180 degree reciprocal motion from rotary motor without undue resistance is proving tricky.

    Dysons suck.

    Children clothed and fed, horses fed and ejected, Zwift lead done (3r volt 6am this morning) now doing something genuinely fun at work, day 2 of a 3 day design sprint.

    I have also just had a jaffa cake. Could today get any better?

    Always wondered how people were putting out 20w/kg on Zwift for 200 miles while talking bs on the game chat.

    In all seriousness, how do people type so eloquently on Zwift chat while putting out impressive W/kg? Some pro level lads fallen through the net, from what I regularly witness!


    Afternoon. WFH, more of the same today. BIG day tomorrow, slightly overwhelming tbh!

    A car or a van on stilts?

    Afternoon All, busy day so far and will carry on that way. Also got someone coming round later to fix the pond pump so the goldfish can carry on their merry way swimming in circles. Hopefully won't have to pay for a new pump.
