Morning, frosty clear skies, tigger walked and now sleeping on his favourite chair, cereals and coffee for my self, cycling early, cleaning out the garden shed later, see what other junk is hidden away
Have a god day

nibnob21

Morning all. Doggo walked, another nice but chilly start and multiple outfits needed for the day's cycle commute. First week off work all year next week, much needed! Heading home to the motherland for a bit. Just one more day to get through first!

Walk hounds, rest foot so another day of ditching the planned run, work stuff, early dart and cycle over to the old town for drinks with pals 😎

Late start today. Bus strike so taking the kids to school.

@lincolndave could you clean out my garden shed please. Something big living in there judging by the mess made to one of the lounge chair cushions. Could be an MF so you might need to arm yourself with a stale focaccia ready to [email protected] him on the head when he tries to makes a run for it.

Little bstards have had my pineapple. There's melon, and apples, but the pineapple is gone.

I think we have an MF living in the hole where the front room radiator pipe goes into the floor. It lives on the crisp packets and biscuit crumbs left by the boy, and leaves little black turds everywhere. Mouse or MF? Maybe I'll leave a London Dynamo jersey out, and a hunt wheel with assorted ultegra bits. A mouse would ignore that lot. An MF would hammer/burn/ chuck. 100% accurate test.

Wfh. Look out of window at sunshine. I shall ride out tomorrow as planned. Or Sunday.

Salut,

Not walked the dog yet and she is getting thoroughly annoyed. However some students being needy AF on the emails overnight has delayed it. Not helped by the behaviour of some staff. Oh well once done I'll walk over the hill to the coffee shop and deal with the follow up in the sunshine.

May play some golf this evening after a poor, but better than expected ramp test, last night. Then over to Snowdonia on Sunday to find some climbing legs

Recommend going early as the place was overrun with nobbers last weekend.

By the look of it, it is going to be this weekend.......

Unfortunately snowdon is our final climb, so I imagine it will be censored even on Watkins

I'm sure you can find somewhere to bask in the sun for a few hours until they all censored off.

Just miss the final 20 meters and 2,000 nobheads is the plan, finish as soon as possible as there is cider in the pub to be enjoyed

Work with a lunchtime bike ride in the middle. I'll, try not to be a 'London Dynamo' while I'm out and ride very considerately. Might do a bit of house contents sorting later on.

orraloon

Look at that sunshine 😎

Pootle out to a village pub lunchtime, meet up with some mates (plus assorted missuses and hangers on) for a few beers in the sunshine. Wobble back, laze about. Plan.

Q: in these weird days how does one meet up with 17 others at a pub?
A: book 3 adjacent tables.

Simples innit.

Morning all. WFW sadly got 3 days of noddy squad and RA training argh. Wont be riding my normal commute for a bit as some barsteward has surface dressed it for about 4 miles, loose chippings all the way. Try alternative route tomorrow.

If it was an Elbow, just sprinkle salad cream about the place*.

*There's vulgar euphemism in there.

Sunny. Got compost, found sunnies (in the grass), going pedalling.

elbowloh

Working from home, so I'm sitting in a rocking chair watching Poirot with an 8 week old in my arms and a two year old leaning against my legs whilst he plays with magnets. Obviously not getting a lot done.

Can you sprinkle salad cream?

Mrs H³ loves a bit of Poirot. Almost as much as she hates me say 'aysteeeeengs' in a stupid exaggerated accent whenever I find her watching it.

Afternoon folks,
wfh today, the EPO insisted I stick around in case the strange man with the tortured bicycle turned up again.
Looks nice out, not thatI've been out in it of course. We havea couple of wood pigeons that have set up home in a bush about 8' away from the back door. Not the most sensible place for a nest, it's barely above the level of the fence. Neighbour reckons squirrels will be after the eggs. I thought I might be able to answer the question of why you never see baby pigeons. Very glad it's Friday, long weekend ahead of me as I've got Monday off.

More bl00dy taxi duty today, seems to be all I do lately is drive around to appointments for other people. At least today I got a free lunch out of it.

By the time we got home today there was not really enough time left to do much useful, so a bit of minor [email protected] about in the shed was it.

Excellent green curry for dinner.

Can imagine, I tend to have parked up i n Betws and be on the road by 8am so hopefully I'll just have to dodge the drivers and then sigh heavily whilst getting my pizza at the end. We shall see, worst case park up towards Llanwrst and not go on the trails.

Side note - who goes on zwift for the immersive scenery? C'mon own up

Poirot is quality, the original books are brilliant too.

Intended to cut the grass at lunchtime, but instead spent about 20mins cleaning up about 10 cat poos and hosing it all down instead. Will cut it tomorrow.

nibnob21

Why did you hose down the cat poo?

hopkinb

Dunno if he can fit a bike in that massive bergen full of hello kitty plasters and calpol. Maybe a Brompton.

We'll be out in the middle of utter nowhere where its meant to beautiful so a mtb/graveller would've tocked, but, alas ....

going to use it as an opportunity to scope out the local scene for future potential returns.

Caught a pair of wood pigeons bonking on my fence yesterday, in broad daylight! Absolutely no shame whatsoever. Lots of necking going on too. Quite sweet actually.

Because in a lot of cases it was runny and left bits on the grass.
