Have a good day

    Hounds walked and run done, slightly damp out there. I had forgot the wife was going to work so the upside was breakfast ready in the bottom over, downside apparently I’m responsible for the kids today.

    Later is cider, if we ignore bank holiday Monday, first drink of the week 😳

    Have you run out of "work experience" for them to do?

    WFH here
    Might get out on the bike later

    Morning. WFW hopefully carry on at a steadier pace than of late. Damp and majorish outside. censored all else to mention.
    Too many bikes according to Mrs O.

    Ciao

    bright but fresh

    just finished off snipping cables on the Pinarello, decidd to leave the front mech linger than normal as can't get it to move inboard as much as I want despite much twiddling of screw.

    Reminded myself yesterday on test ride how yuk Ultegra shifter shape was but hey ho, it'll do for the time being.

    Apart from that, not a lot to report tbh.....

    Do you have to, do you have to, do you have to let it linger?

    Farq me, woke up to sunshine.

    Last Monday was part of last weekend TLW.

    Should be P-R Sunday... but it isn't. Sad.

    If i get my back end into gear I might wash the bike before tomorrows ride. I don't like a dirty ride (ahem).

    Then may onwards to a few G&T's

    Afternoon folks, bit of year end stressing going on by others but its not affecting me luckily.

    Strifey and Stroppy have suddenly decided they want to moving house, not sure if they've finally listened to me :) Time to do a spot of research. And a good way to get Stressy to finally do some proper clearing out of all the [email protected] she's been accumulating (even if we don't move in the end >:) )

    Onwards to lunch.

    What's under the patio S666?

    So, will 'period of national mourning' result in lockdown 3b and the pubs not reopening from Monday? Wouldn't put that beyond Spaffer and his minions.

    yep

    never met him, never will, but he seemed the right sort of grumpy old man

    were there to be an afterlife, i'm sure hearing johnson spouting about "...a devoted husband, a proud and loving father..." would have him requesting a lightning strike

    You'll only get reported by the bank for a large cash transaction, so you may as well blow it on grog or hookers.

    I saw a press photo of Philippos Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Glücksburg on his way home from hospital recently. He looked as if he was already on nodding terms with G.Reaper Esq.

    As sungod says, a grumpy old censored . Reading the obits has revealed a few things I didn't know about him though.

    I thought of that and got a receipt.

    I bet I could get a very presentable hooker for that kind of cash though. How to sneak her into the house without Mrs H³ noticing though...

    I 'met' him when we got our Duke of Edinburgh awards at school and went to the palace. He was very short, I expected him to be quite tall for some reason.

    Seemed quite a nice cheery guy but I get the impression he was when it was something he was interested in.

    I thought the same when i saw Prince Charlie, for some reason he was visiting Surrey Street Market in Croydon. Not sure why he needed to go, thought all his veg would be duchy originals.

    Bowled for 99, what a bummer. He should have scrambled that single to silly mid off when he had the chance.
