    May have drank too much last night but it was fun 😎 had an alarm set for the GP but must have switched it off

    Head home and sort hounds and kids then the pub still don’t feel 100% so a chilled day is needed

    Seems chilly but bright here at the moment.
    Not sure what to do today.

    Morning All. Yep definitely autumnal this morning. Garden centre looms for spring bulbs and winter bedding plants to keep OH happy. Youngest playing football and eldest lad working 😱 first Sunday ever. Expecting eruptions later as he's on the cusp of finally ditching 🙏 the klingon, suspect I'm taking him for a beer later.
    Too many bikes according to Mrs O.

    Thought he'd already done that?

    Lazy morning. Mrs. 666 has popped out and our Ukrainian hasn't surfaced yet so it's just me and the hounds for a bit. May try a spot of exercise later and see if the back is OK.

    Wishful thinking on our part, they decided to klingon a bit longer. Pardon the pun. We had a long chat last night and hopefully he will see sense. His choice to make though not ours.

    Morning everybody peeps

    'kin ell it's windy. Hopefully windy enough to blow the leaves to f*** so i won't have to rake them up/run the mower over them*.

    *This is entirely dependent on how soft the ground is.

    Bit whacked me. Did an hour on the rollers at almost full tilt and was slightly short of Ganna's record but I didn't wear an aero helmet so that must be the difference.
    Then Lasagne, side salad with some Ozzie Merlot, which was rather nice and well rounded. Apple crumble and cream to finish.

    Morning folks,
    Slowish start was had, a little different to what we expected as we had a house guest. Daughter rang at about midnight telling us a friend from uni was in London and couldn't get back to Brighton as all the trains had been cancelled. Very polite, not to mention grateful and embarrassed, German lad turned up at about 1. Thought we'd want someone to help either of ours so best look after him.
    Going for a spot of lunch somewhere and a walk with the EPO shortly, other than that doing nothing.
    Would it make it easier if you point the rollers downhill Piña?
    Good luck Oxo

    Wasted it with 5 hours on the damned mower.

    Beautiful morning. Plan to ditch family and cycle round the world failed after 20miles when I got got cold lonely and hungry with wolves snapping at my heels. A few aperitifs needed to lubricate the roast dinner cooking muscles.

    Yep. Would your Mrs not do that if you had one?

    Unfortunately kitchen is all done and I was lined up for a day of peace and quiet. Could have done with some help earlier in the week.
    Had very nice walk and lunch with the EPO sat by the river watching people messing about on the water. All in boats, paddle boarders seem to have gone into hibernation.
    Just found a rat in the garden, or did it find me? Amazing how high something so small can make you jump when you're not expecting it. The Mrs started fretting and kept asking if it could get into the house, I did point out if she kept leaving the door open it could be viewed as an invitation. Don't think it lives in our garden at any rate. Chased it off and it ran down the road and into the drains.

    I iz back in Ingerlaand after the Belgie long weekender, very close to Rick Chasey territory for an overnight stop before visiting my now 97yo last remaining auntie tomorrow morning on way back to WetLand.

    A grand time was had Gromet. I like WestVlaanderen.

    Just got the official times for yesterdays gravel ride and if racked off. Given i was 130 something out of 300 on the long route with average speed of nearly 12mph and a time of 4hrs 30 something on a gravel ride i notice that the fastest is 2hrs 16. I honestly cant see an ebike on full throttle doing that time over 50 something miles. so either someone cheated and did the short route and didnt fess up or they parked up somewhere. I hate liars. Next fastest was nearly 35 minutes after. On other news eldest and klingon have split :'( but she wants to give it a week and then see if they feel the same. Boy has she pulled his heart strings, hes well upset. He wont even let me get him pixxed. Lets hope theres no getting back together. :s

  • thistle_thistle_ Posts: 6,938
    Sounds like you've got a week to find him a hot new date :wink:

    Can you steal his phone and delete klingon's number?
    Or if she's gonna message him change it to Mrs Oxo so he gets confused and doesn't reply?
