    Quick walk with hounds and then a run (resting elder hound as he was limping again yesterday).

    Work stuff and then gym stuff

    Done bird feed stuff, now having coffee stuff.

    Morning

    Prised myself out of bed to go back to WFW.
    Pedalled in. Nice morning weather wise but felt like I had a WVM target on my back.
    Undecided later, might just ride back, sack off the gym and slob out at home.

    Everyone must be hard at work or out cycling.

    Morning. Steady pedal into work and no coat or jacket required for a change. Busy Morning fending off πŸ’© and contractor's. Hopefully stay nice for the wobble home.
    Too many bikes according to Mrs O.

    Beautiful day, cycled in and now channeling all my energy into fighting the lurgy that’s threatening to take over. Machine gun posts are set to mow down any cowardly white blood cells on the retreat. Forward lads! Get stuck in!

    The former in my case at least. Just come up for air after a few meetings and dealing with stupidity in the Kingdom of Far Far Away. Time for lunch soon.

    Stubble trouble?

    Lovely day here, though it's now warmer outside than it is in the Twatcave. Must get the decking sorted and some garden furniture bought soon so I can work outside.

    Evening folks, busy day in the orifice but a pleasant enough wobble at either end. Still far too much to do and not a chance of getting even half of it done.

    The problem as it grows back is the little stubbly hairs are quite prickly. Before they grow back you discover the hair serves a useful function of preventing direct skin to skin contact. So being like an eel is sticky and uncomfortable, then prickly and uncomfortable.

    You'll just have to keep lubing yourself, 3 in 1 or Castrol is cheaper than Finish Line.

    I'm guessing you've been playing target practice again and your the target. I feel your pain, been playing chicken the last few weeks due to local road closure.
    Too many bikes according to Mrs O.

    Some bint overtook me then cut in front of me and slammed on. Managed to brake and swerve OK so no harm done apart from the blood pressure.
    Just sent the video to that operation snap thingy, but the plate doesn't show up on the DVLA database so unless plodlu have some clever tricks up their sleeve I doubt anything will happen.
