    Bit gloomy, as seano already reported.

    Wfh.

    Gloomy. No end in sight on the met office app either.

    Did I say it was gloomy? Seano did.

    Pegged the washing out. Now it's bouncing down.

    It was all fine until Seano posted about it.

    Morning, cloudy with strong chance of thunderstorms an rain, rain being pretty much guaranteed of late anyway.
    Bicycle post ride was stared at then lobbed on the wall to worry over when the mud dry's.
    Woodland walk likely in the rain later, beats being sat inside all day.

    TLW, sorry to hear about youngest mutt.

    I don't have a dog to walk so can I give yours a virtual walk?

    Get some minions at RB HQ to wash the thing. They could drag it behind one of the speed boats.

    Sunny here. I shouldn't have said that.

    Now that’s how to deliver a weather post! 👍

    Speaking of which, my dad yesterday asked me to help him delete his weather app which was draining his phone battery life. I didn’t have the heart to tell him it was probably the pornhub videos he’d obviously been watching. Dirty old b@gger, 81 this year.

    Sean, shake your dad's hand on my behalf. A grand old boy.
    Obviously make sure he's washed it first. ;)

    I think I've recovered from Friday...
    2kw pool swim, 50km bike ride, 10km run in readiness for the Tri on the 20th of June.
    I think the 3 pints of Moretti in the pub afterwards finished me off though.

    Swim after work and hopefully an early night.

    Ciao

    Day off as BS/R ratio heading the wrong way.

    Bright but as blustery as anything.

    Went out for a ride and basically got blown backwards but finished feeling lush.

    Cleaners cleaning so need them to finish before I can watch the Giro whilst scoffing Thai noodles.

    Any recommendations for cheapest place to a Campy/Campy compatible cassette? Current one on the Prince is slipping - has new chain and 'rings - so cassette replacement it is.

    Hope it's nothing serious. Ours have had that sort of problem and we've found its a stone or something lodged in the paw, or a strained muscle.

    Got a soggy arris pedalling into work as the roads were still wet and grimy after last night's rain and the mudguards are in storage 'till winter. Office is nicely quiet although someone brought a nice slab of lemon drizzle cake in which was pretty popular. Apart from that, organising a few indoor pub and restaurant related socials :smile:

    why is the frickin' tv so complicated to work that I can't find Eurosport although it was on there yesterday?

    Sodding technology. Do people really need 300 television channels?

    Afternoon folks,
    wfw unfortunately, but ?I did manage to wobble in. Aris' stayed dry as I refitted the mudguards last night in a feeble attempt to stop the rain from falling. Mood slightly less gloomy than the weather. Just walked to Sainsbury's and bought lunch, now having a cup of cha with a Chicken Fajita wrap.
    HD, other than the 3 pints of Moretti that post sounded awful. Looking forward to Oxo posting beer fuelled drivel later.

    Gloomy turned into a squall when I was an hour away from home.
    Made me gloomy, I can tell you. Everything was dampened, especially my enthusiasm.
    Back home now, showered, cup of coffee in hand (with biscuits of course) and looking out at lovely sunshine. Weather is taking the proverbial.

    Thunderstorm and hail / torrential downpour #2 of the day. 😳 At least it's not a work day for me.

    An uptick thing though. Sorted out some hotel bookings for a week's break in June, explore some new routes, in a different part of the country! Last time I left The Valley was July last year...
