OH asked me to reconnect the turntable as it had not been set up after the last furniture and system reshuffle. Sure, no problem. What am I rewarded with? Three hours of a Cat Stevens retrospective.
I had to run to the shed and play with power saws for a more soothing sonic experience.
Did I mention it's a bit wet today here?

Ferry put back so we can enjoy a decent pig based breakfast at the hotel.
Beer, wine and seafood will feature today0 -
Morning. Going to re-cable my bike today, stick a bit of heat shrink on the cables to tidy it up and stop a bit of rattling. Might work, might be rubbish but it’ll keep me amused for a bit.
Actual face to face dr appointment on Monday to look forward to. And have come to the conclusion that HoD in school is the #shittestjob going. Impossible to make anyone happy, constantly looking over your shoulder to see who’s stabbing you in the back now.0 -
Pics of your cable work please gti. I’m dead keen on cycling again, comes in 2 yearly cycles (no pun intended) spend a fortune on kit and accessories then leave the bike sting in the hall for the next two years. Anyway, I’m like a sponge soaking up bike related knowledge atm so and pics please.johngti said:Morning.

I’ll do you some before and after pics. And what I need is to not be the HoD but maintain my pay. Dammit.seanoconn said:

Seems to be a lot of humid, tropical air around.

No rain here. Walk dogs. Do yet more house move related stuff. Relax in the evening."I spent most of my money on birds, booze and fast cars: the rest of it I just squandered." [George Best]0

I’m loving the bike again, just about to spend a fortune repairing the singlespeed CX bike and just pulled the trigger on a gravel bike (only a planet flex one)seanoconn said:

As I understand, there is a bit of intra-MFs kerfuffle going on, one faction unhappy with the other, I think it's to with love or not love poxy little city cars or something, so they're locked in a basement somewhere sorting each other out a bit.pinno said:Where tf are the MF's?
Eventually breakfasted, let that digest a bit before toddling over to the gym, get these ageing joints and tendons revved up some more.
November like weather here. Grey, cold, boring. Bleugh.

So reading between the lines, what you’re saying is “sean needs a gravel bike ASAP” ok, I give in, I cave easily and at least I have someone to blame. 👍tlw1 said:
