Currently raining although now forecast to be nice later (instead of thunderdtorms). Wish the weather would follow the forecast as it's messed up my plans for the day again.

WFW today.
Might find a hill to go up later.

    Morning, dry here, it would be nice for the forecasters to get the weather predictions correct, , obviously it’s a bit to much all the technology they use nowadays.
    All the usual stuff done, riding later if it’s still fine, picking the van up this morning
    Have a good day

    Looking a bit damp out, forecast 😊 says shouldn't bung it down much more until the evening. Waterproofs will be packed for my Friday workgroup outing.

    No thistle pulling today, been there done that, many times. Today it will be the turn of the ragwort to feel the gentle caress of the tugging hand. Nor down to the river today, instead up onto the chalky slopes. Wonder what Springsteen toon works for that?

    Wet and windy.

    Weights sesh and a 20k Zwift then crack on with the OU autism course.

    Take Hound for a stroll.

    Drink coffee.

    See what Ghibli films they have on Netflix.

    May grab a cheeky episode of Walker, Texas Ranger if no one is around.

    Morning, not dry here, in fact rather wet to the point we had a stream in the road at one point.

    Concluded today is going to come under the category of "task successfully failed" after opening my emails. I did venture out last night into Heckshire to acquire some Friday juice which went well, few random tins from smaller breweries.

    I see more sogginess falling from the sky so looks set for the day which is a pain I need to go out an spray some stuff, weekend maybe? Who knows probably be snowing then.

    I need coffee now.

    What happened to your garage?

    Wet. wet, wet.
    Will prepare rear Porker suspension stuff to be sent to the powder coaters. Wahey!
    Only took 3 weeks to remove it all.
    I doubt it has ever been off in it's life - she'll be 32 next month.
    So, new rubber bushes £178, new mounts - £200, new bolts (plus extortionate eccentric set) iro £125, powder coating £195 (estimate), handbrake cable. £135 + £45... kin 'ell.

    Morning all. Cool, breezy and lots of showers. Drag OH around DIY store and local workwear place to pick rest of young oxo,s college stuff up. Mutt walked between showers. Seano is hiding on holibobs I believe, I'm guessing he's gone internet free.
    Too many bikes according to Mrs O.

    Oh yeah - he did post some pics up a mountain. Maybe he fell off. If his boots are a size 9, i'm claiming them first.
    Or food poisoning. Either way, I get first dibs.

    Sitting outside cafe drinking cappuccino with 5 month old asleep next to me. Wife and boy are at the boys 2 year old development review. He can't do quite a few things in the list.

    Rent-a-dog goes home today, tabby#2 is slowly coming around to the fact that the dog stays occasionally but still attempts the occasional face swipe.

    The cat is bigger than the dog.

    Wet out, need to forage some lunch from the local shop.

    phuck the list. ignore it.

    bambino couldn't do half the stuff he was meant to. he's now knocking out GCSEs at 12 years old and is exactly normal in every other facet of life, including being a totalshit in the mornings and most afternoons and evenings.

    Yeah, i'm really not bothered. He's a great lad, makes me laugh all the time, as well as making me pull my hair out sometimes.

    just do it in the staff quarters and if they complain turn the hose on them.

    that's what we do.

    Rhodes was fairly close to being normal a few weeks ago, masks in taxis and on public transport (boat trip embark and disembarking).
    Masks whilst going to the loo in restaurants as well.

    Other than that, busy.

    Afternoon folks,
    Busy day of wfh with huge levels of fending off stupid. Be glad when my boss is back on Monday as I can bat some of aforementioned stupid in his direction again. POETS day today so off to the pub with the Mrs a little later. It's been raining on and off so might have to sit inside.
    Sandwiches definitely save lives, they can even do CPR.

    Just finished packing for hols. Staying overnight with outlaws before heading to caernarfon. Will remember to shut one eye so I don't get confused by the signage.

    Stayed just outside Caernarfon a couple of weeks back, weather was glorious, not a drop of rain and mid 20s all week. Black Rock Sands was great if you want a beach, you can park right on the beach, which is huge, for £5. Just be aware of tides.

    The boat trip to Puffin Island was great also from Beaumaris, but puffins will have gone by now. We did see porpoises also though and seals.

    That's probably why there's been a crash on the main road at the border which has pixxed on my plans for the evening.
