Morning, mild , dog walked, and fed , having a coffee, gas man coming to service the boiler will have to wait in for him, rain forecast the late morning/ afternoon, it doesn’t look very promising for a ride today Have a good day
Mustn't forget to book shower so I can ride and wfw tomorrow.
Odd rule, why can't you just use an empty one?
Stropteen is back for a week to get some peace while revising for her exams. And free food and washing etc. I'm doing the usual with an action packed week ahead...

The rain's back. Again. Just for a change. Fantastic spring so far.
Off at lunchtime, assuming the un-cracked trains are running as they should, to my favourite Eye Hospital for another set of scans, photos, 3Ds et al in the bad eye. And the wheel goes around again. Life eh.
Yep. The showers are in an independent (Nuffield I think) gym in the basement of the building. Only 6 people allowed in the gym/shower in any 2 hour slot - you get a marked bay and allocated a shower. They have to book a cleaner to sanitise the equipment, changing area and shower after each user, and if you don't book ahead, they don't book the cleaner.
I presume this is in anticipation of the volcano? ...
more that it's the best option for an hour's 'effort' weekdays to retain fitness, done pretty much every morning since lockdown one started
as i live in the middle of london, there're no long-fast flats/loops, hyde park is useless, and pandemic regent's park is choked with slow/dangerous groups getting in the way, that leaves big ring hill repeats in hampstead/highgate, there's not much traffic first thing
volcano time shouldn't be far off though, april flights canned, may ones sure to follow as spain still closed for non-eu, but looking ok for the backup flights in june, for all the flack they get, ba make it very easy to cancel/rebook

Country hotel of the year multiple times. Then you can get fit by battling the wind, the hills and the rough roads. In fact, the hotel sits at the bottom of a long climb so to leave the place, you're heading up. On the plus plus side, there's miles of very quiet single track roads to discover (whilst negotiating sheep and cattle grids).

As I was absent for the weekend it went like this: Friday swim, got soaked. Saturday run, got soaked. Sunday ride, got soaked. Triathlon is getting on my moobs now.
Rode again this morning though, full on headwind up the vale but at least I missed the rain.

We must be living dangerously - just rock up on your nbike and go into the changes/shower. It's never too busy.

Afternoon. In work, finishing off a year 12 exam. Getting properly irritated with members of the department always morning. It’s like my carefully crafted positive office environment is being pulled down around me by a sod who’s leaving anyway. All insidious, messages to other members of the team (who should know better) behind my back so no evidence trail. All very juvenile and ridiculous. Like there’s not enough stress in life anyway.
Also brought a suit and shoes in that can stay in work, new lock arriving this afternoon that I can bring in and leave tomorrow so on Wednesday I can start having rides into work. I only live a 10 minute walk away so tend to try to do a 45 minute loop in the mornings when I ride. And I’ll be having a run at the end of the day.

Some bizarre @rse-about-face pricing on that wine list. Bog standard Moet - £117 - easily obtainable for £25 if you wait for the offers. Krug '88 - £290, very difficult to obtain anywhere for < £800.
I doubt that even the cut-price Krug will tempt someone as committed to the catching of rays as sungod to holiday in Stranraer...

cheap krug, mmm, bit of a trek though
But you would get to meet pinno.......
Its easier just to watch this rather than travel all that way.
Yeah Monday. Actually had an almost reasonable day yesterday, ticked off a few jobs in the shed and even found some mojo to do a turbo ride for 50 minutes, longest in a fair while.
Today however? Fasting this morning as I was in for the thrill of a whopping great needle or two in the neck, with a dose of radiation on the side.
This was a C4 facet joint block one, to see if they can make any dent on the literal pain in the neck I've had for so many years. Local anaesthetic certainly helped for a few hours, hope the actual cortisone or whatever it was does the same trick for 6 months or so.
Next up, possible foraminal block injection a bit lower down to help with the pins and needles and numbness in the arm.

The camera down the willy isn't anything like as bad as it sounds.
as an aside, young people, fuckoff. your sickening enthusiasm and syconphantic panderings are not appealing to me. it actually says to me you should get a life.

Yep, soggy out there. I think there's a gap in the rain tomorrow that may satisfy the pedalling urge. I presume this is in anticipation of the volcano?
A whole load of loose ends to tie up today, mundane but simultaneously important.
Blood test Thursday. Always gives me the heebie jeebies.
