    Still got a cold, feel like I haven't slept.
    No work today, but other stuff to do.
    Might go up a mountain later.

    WFW, part drive part cycle - been ages since I did that and felt good.

    Later should be a rest day but if I get away on time will join a mate for a gentle 10k

    No wind! Some rays peeping through the trees.

    In an effort to precipitate the conclusion of the ongoing long term project previously catalysed and executed during a global pandemic, I will be pursuing the relevant participle required to orchestrate and finalise the remaining concerns so that we can fully exploit the culmination of the intended use.

    Jeezo, I need MF to write this shti.

    Rode in, starting to get some zip in the legs. Lovely day for it. Omloops and arm warmers. Arm warmers to be pocketed on the way home.

    Reading stuff, dull stuff. But that's what I get paid to do.

    oh the rest of them gave up ages ago. they are now slumped in various corners just staring into the distance - not so much a 1,000 yard stare, more a WTAF stare

    I think it's only one of them turns up to work. The rest of them are deployed elsewhere. If the MF's looked like Homer Simpson, a gathering of several of them would look something like this:

    Yeah.
    Is that you in the middle with the semi afro Hoppy?

    In the office today, luckily no rain on the way but the trains and tubes are getting a bit busier. Still got a seat, mind. Just sending some more legal-eze documents off to solicitors re: the house and then trying to set an exchange date for next week.

    I'm only prepare to share the clip over a beer MF, I value her too much :p Maybe V and Seano can watch it when we go for a drink and tell you how good it is?

    Afternoon folks,
    Busy day of wfw and fending off much stupidity, don't normally do Wednesday here so a couple of different people. Thankfully one of them has just enough sense to avoid me. Had to drive in as the EPO has her first day in the office, this is why H³ had a lovely day for a ride. I'll be on the bike again tomorrow so the weather will probably take a turn for the worse.
    We'll come and watch the clip at your housewarming Stevo, promise not to breathe a word to she who must be kept in the dark.
    Today is Wednesday so a pub will be involved later, unfortunately a bit of running round to be done first.
    How's Step getting on I wonder, does he work for a large courier company now?

    You could weed my front garden, with Napalm.

    Anyway, audits done and site meeting met. Will probably walk rent-a-dog later so that she shuts up at night and doesn't try and get frisky with my feet.

    Also a bit of painting to do, possibly with San Miguel.

    Note: I'm not going to coat the wall with SM obviously.

    Good one MF, you're proving why I should employ you with debating skills like that...

    Managed to get out and do another 25km on the bike at lunchtime and it was warm and sunny. Lovely.

    ^^Nice one. It was a lovely day to be out on a bike. I've just replaced my brake pads as they'd reached that stage where there's so little pad material, the pistons weren't retracting properly = constant honking. Off to bed them in. That's my last set of spares too. Must order some more.

    Have Mrs Elbow's symptoms abated, been diagnosed? I may have missed something over the past couple of months.

    No, if anything they're slightly worse. We seem to be going round in circles. We have an appointment with a specialist at UCL in December and trying to also get a private specialist who's normally based at St George's to get involved.

    Not sure if you saw the previous posts, but they seem to think now it's an extreme reaction to the Astra Zeneca vaccine, even though when the wife first suggested that (it all kicked off a week after her jab) she was told definitely not.
