    Walk hounds, drive to a car park abandon car and cycle into work on the summer bike 😎.

    Work stuff and then reverse. Maybe gym, maybe pub later unsure. I mean it is meant to be a rest day

    Morning.
    Trundle into work as usual.
    Look busy
    Trundle home and chill.
    Maybe a few cold beers.
    Too many bikes according to Mrs O.

    Break out the sun hat, forecasting 17 degrees for this pm. Will be a pleasant day to be tending a rather attractive springtime garden. Enjoy your desks and keyboards peeps.

    Looking warm, so in the hope that it might be t1t Wednesday I'm off into the Big Smoke. No bike involved yet but if the next test ride goes OK I'm going to do the tlw thing of abandon car part way to work and ride in.

    You have brethren in Estonia you could join up with/dispense Hello Kitty plasters and paracetamol.

    Not me 'Loon. Today I shall be mowstly stacking wood.

    Farmer bloke is in Brazil with his exotic, expensive Brazilian bint. Hedge cutter bloke turned up yesterday and so we took the executive decision to open the gate, cut the hedge as Farmer bloke wasn't here to allow access.
    Oops. :smiley:

    that's done now, last was a few weeks back to tell me the final blood tests suggest i've never been infected and say bye bye

    it's now an approved vaccine, but as i had it back in 2020 i'm catching up with the standard jab schedule for ease of travel etc.

    they're not really my neck of the woods tbh - they're already deployed on CABRIT - they are 3 months into a 6 monther so all settled in their routine.

    my stuff atm is a bit more impromptu, shall we say.

    So before results are finalised and the jab is approved(?), you have to take established vaccines?

    it's approved now by eu, who, uk and others, but wasn't at the time of the last test, so they said get started on pfizer to make sure i could travel ok

    i.e. current eu travel rules say you need to have been jabbed within 9 months, 2020 was too long ago

    Water was dripping off me (not sweat!) when I got to work this morning

    What a contrast, the ride home. No hat or helmet, no wind to speak of, just soaking up the rays – I may (or may not) have a sore bonce tomorrow Wow and it’s only March… I know it won’t last but let a man dream

    might have a cider tonight to celebrate

    You don't need a reason to celebrate to have a cider.

    Some barsteward is warning of very cold 🥶 weather and white stuff around me from Monday onwards for a bit. FFS can't it make its mind up and be nice during the day and minging overnight. I blame putin for the dodgy weather.

  • orraloonorraloon Posts: 11,703
    Not Putin, Jeremy Corbyn innit. Weather forecasting to change from Monday but doubt will be snow.

    Rather warm today, not used to such things, got back at end of day and ah, dehydrated.... that's why I was feeling a bit rough this afternoon. Dig out the water bottle, 'tis that season upon us.

    Litre of water, 1/2litre alc free beer, time to open a proper one.

    Went the scenic route home, even more scenic than sitting on TLW's wheel this morning.

    Nice pic. Did something unheard of for me tonight I cleaned my CX and XC bikes and discovered that I will be using my CX bike for tomorrow's night ride as the XC bikes BB has succumbed to cannock and sherwood 💩 and seems to be very tight. If like previous occasion it will be the chain side bearing seized or binding. Oh well good excuse for spending some money and using lighter bike on night ride.

    If you hadn't cleaned them everything would've been fine.

    Probably. Lesson learnt.
