Ride, cafe, then work stuff.
I think @MattFalle posted in another thread the other day, not sure what we've done to upset him.0 -
Can I post if I’ve not been to bed yet?1

Morning iconoclasts
Very cloudy low cloud and wind and mild. It's all wrong.
Not much to report.
Beans is happy. He only attacked me 3 times yesterday. Everything's a game to him. I'm hoping he matures into a fine gentleman cat but he's still very kitten (and much fun).
Which shoes did you get SG?
I like the colour of 'Emptiness' but not the pointy style.

Sunny here. One last dog walk, run the hoover round, then take a load of cardboard to the tip and on the road. Motorways today, as part of the A303 is closed.0

We were woken way too early by the sound of Miss Ukraine stumbling around the bathroom getting ready for her early shift. There was no way we were going to get up and give her a lift at that time anyway so she had a nice 40 minute walk just before sun up. The charity has got her an old clunker of a bike which she can use so will give it a quick once over today and chuck some spare lights on.
Anyhow, chill and coffee followed by dog walk."I spent most of my money on birds, booze and fast cars: the rest of it I just squandered." [George Best]0 -
Hello. Just sneaking in at the back, seeing how everyone is. Belated birthday wishes to the newly 50+ folks, belated congratulations to Stevo for the arrival of Miss Ukraine (were there pictures?). Oh and to @haydenm on the new arrivals. Glad everything is going well 🙂
Don’t mind me, I’ll disappear again now. I’ll close the door behind me.0 -

Welcome back GTI, we were wondering if you'd been bumped off by your pupils or colleagues. No pics of Miss Ukraine, but the nickname does not imply any resemblance to a beauty contest winner, she eats too much chocolate and crisps for that."I spent most of my money on birds, booze and fast cars: the rest of it I just squandered."

Suspect my 2nd would quite like to arrange for an accident! Work is continuing to be manic, figured out I have 6 exam classes this year. Madness.Stevo_666 said:

The cockapoo continues to be a delight. Mrs GTi spaffed nearly two grand on the idiot dog a few weeks ago following a “mum, Jasper’s just eaten a nail” phone call from teen gti. She’d not got round to arranging insurance at that point. She has now… still, he’s generally a lovely fella so I guess he’s worth it.
Not touched my bike for about a month, no motivation at all, not helped by a distinct lack of winter gear. New bloke’s joined the department though, but older than me, also a Liverpool uni maths graduate (he left in 86, I started in 87) and a very keen cyclist. Lives in Sevenoaks. Might be nice to organise a few work-based rides.
So still the happy go lucky character I’ve always been🤣1 -
An old farts ride round the Sevenoaks area sounds like a good plan, there are some good riding roads round here. As long as he isn't fast or anythingjohngti said:

So still the happy go lucky character I’ve always been🤣 I'm taking a full 2 weeks off over Xmas so maybe something for once the schools break up for the hols?
We've had the fun of two twice daily clearing all the acorns and conkers that have been dropping off the trees in the back garden in Sept and Oct as they're poisonous for dogs but ours seem to like them. Seems to have worked as they've not needed a stomach pump."I spent most of my money on birds, booze and fast cars: the rest of it I just squandered." [George Best]0 -
New bloke lives in Sevenoaks and is pretty serious about his cycling but apparently loves a slow cafe and cake ride too. So let’s make that happen 🙂Stevo_666 said:

Currently trying to train the hound to not pull on the lead. We’ve come to terms with digging in the garden and stealing Lego from the boys. Last night he found a broken bit of glass so we liberated that quick smart. Absolute clown but then…
He’s a cutie.

He’s a cutie. Sounds like your guy may know some good routes if he's keen and has lived round this way for a bit.
As for hounds, we find that taking them out and letting them run themselves stupid off generally makes them quieter for the rest of the day.

Afternoon folks,
Traditional slow start was enjoyed, about to head over to the old dear's to do a few bits and bobs. Then back here for more of the same.
Good to 'see' you Mr GTi, lovely looking dog.0 -
Cats! Dogs! It's not even raining.
Ride rided, at last a proper ride, been ages since last one, wot wiv.... things. Graveller and 38s so more effort / less pace, but G-One Allrounds pretty spot on for the amount of mush, leaves, general gloop across the back roads.
Weather getting weirder, mid Nov, 17 degrees, hazy sunshine plus flying insects...0 -
Next door to me have acquired another dog. Still haven't seen her because I've never seen them take them for a walk, and they wonder why they run amok around the house.Stevo_666 said:As for hounds, we find that taking them out and letting them run themselves stupid off generally makes them quieter for the rest of the day.
At least the first dog has some company now for when they leave him on his own for 10+ hours a day.

That's cruel. Shouldn't have dogs if you can't have someone be with them for most of the day and walk them regularly.thistle_ said:

'Tis a pity if you want one, but that's the best decision. Though there may well come a time when one or both of you is at home enough to make it work. Depends how long you both need/want to work I guess...veronese68 said:
