    Morning all. WTF is ⬆️. Local parkrun and taking the OH shopping. Down to be damp.
    Too many bikes according to Mrs O.

    Morning dweebs

    Gloomy grey and very soggy.
    Today will be mainly domestic chores and laundry that crept up on me and accumulated.
    Taking it easy as 4 hrs under the Porker at awkward angles has left me a bit mangled.

    Coffee... mmm...

    Chilled start after a good night out last night.

    Few jobs and then out later at friends. Hopefully pub lunch in the borrowed car will happen

    Bought firewood, packed and fuelled the tank. Waiting for mini at tennis. Then hitting the road. Mrs B³ already en route with the dog. Rainy journey.

    Morning. Super-drizzle-snizzle here. Off to Oxford to see the boy. Weird having him away for so long. Just waiting (as ever) for daughter to get ready. More DIY tomorrow. No bikes this weekend. Sad.

    I hope for your sake that your OH doesn't read this and misinterpret it :p

    Good traditional one in to catch up on the sleep deficit. Mrs. 666 is walking the hounds with Miss Ukraine shortly so I should get a spot of peace. Unfortunately the weather is forecast to be soggy all day and the bike is still with the LBS for some minor surgery, so no chance to ride.

    Ooh alp d’highgate. One of the few steep hills in London, remember it well.

    Another spambot test, can the bot interpret the text above and construct a credible sentence. This forum seems wide open to such. Prob Pootin's lads testing out their algorithms prior to inflaming the twatterati.

    Actually rolled some wheels today, not far at all but 'interesting' to feel how far off form I've dropped with the exercise timeouts.

    I'm now a Treasurer. Boowahhaha...

    Nope. Away at Uni doing Computer Science MSc. He's a top lad. So nice to see him develop into a young man. 5 weeks has made a heck of a difference.

    Not much achieved this morning, did a bit of work related training stuff but didn't make much headway.
    The rain/drizzle eased off about 13:30 so headed up the mountain for some radio stuff but it didn't work out as well as planned, reports from others seem similar so it wasn't just me.

    Chatting to others in the UK/Europe who were closer and within range of my bit of wet wire on a stick.

    That makes more sense than my first thought which was chatting online afterwards.
