    Hounds then off down the motorway system to discuss the impact of moving some stuff from here to there - I think I needed a better nights sleep

    Mine pies available at mine but they are only Lidl ones.

    What have I missed?
    TLW turned 50 and Stevo lost a leg from what I can tell?

    Trying to decide whether to WFW or WFH.

    Morning all. Dark and dry bimble in. Nothing wrong with being 50, means you've seen a bit of life. Mrs O has been sampling GF mince pies ready for the festive season, M&S ones not bad.
    Too many bikes according to Mrs O.

    If you add TLW's age to mine, the average is 50.
    If you add Stevo's, the average is pensionable.

    Yesterday was manic.
    Welder bloke turned up.
    Mate with 2nd hand Wilier he bought on fleabay turns up for me to fettle it.
    'Recently serviced' my @rse. For a 2nd hand rig, it's pretty decent and as a foray into road bikes, not bad for a first one.
    Woodman turns up 2 days early with a huge pile of wood.

    Got mate to assist welder bloke with wet rag whilst I fettled bike and OH used wheel barrow. It ended up quite a doddle really.

    Zoom meeting at 9.30. Meh.
    Do I dress up the top half of me?
    Do I have a background of various important looking literature?
    I have quite a few leatherbound books.
    Maybe a poster of Kylie MInogue.

    Question cyclists…

    How far behind K.O.P.S is too far if there’s no discomfort? Does it matter at all?

    Late to the party! Hope it went well!!

    Currently observing a student teacher. She’s ok, definite potential. No pics…

    Might go for a haircut after work. Exciting times. Oh, mrs Gti has discovered that our milkman can supply a particularly nice non-alcoholic citra ipa so I will be treated to that at the weekend.

    Well, as for the rapid reaction force centre of defence for Queen and Country and Her Majesty's interests at home and abroad, I've been to the gym, sent an email asking for some accomodation at the end of the month and am about to drink coffee and polish my shoes for Sunday before going back to the gym.

    I still have both legs but one is giving me a bit of aggro. Although seems to be improving today so will hold fire on BUPA for a bit and see if it sorts itself out. May venture into the office on Friday and see how it holds up after a bit of use.

    Zoom zoomed. Pity about the rambling from a certain protagonist. I think they do it to sound self-important.

    Could have been al done in 15 mins.
    Now pedal in glorious sunshine and it's glorious. Hardly any wind, not a cloud in the sky. New winter tights to be tested.

    Taxi duty, and some shed based activity testing out new gadgets. That was it.

    Afternoon folks,
    Busy day in the orifice, drove in as I was dropping the EPO off at her work. Good day to be in the car as it's rather moist out. Usual levels of stupidity are being fended off, not so traditional mild hangover isn't helping my patience. As it's Wednesday I'll go to the pub later for some canine hair.
    What new gadgets Spinner?
    Did you buy that frame Mr GTi?

    I’m thinking of it as a chance to have a bigger party than this weekend 😂

    What a lovely ride it was. Bit chilly but can't complain.
    I really want something a bit speedier...

    He said "speedier"; not "seedier".

    Now then, now then children...

    En train post umpty umpteenth eye injection. This one was a little nerves inducing. The doctor administering the clinic doses was called away to an emergency patient just as it was my turn, so had to wait a while. Trainee doctor showed up, but he needed to be signed / off approved by the consultant professor before allowed to administer in this hospital. So ended with me lying prone there, 2 nurses rather than 1, the trainee doc and the consultant all in the room. Stepping through the procedure line by line. All went well. Guess my BP was up rather more than usual.

    Now for the 'do nothing' 48 hours. Open that bar!
