saturday as the year slouches towards a soggy end to be born
more rain, may try for a ride once light
more cafes, more mince pies, more bubbly

Ooh, Ice hockey. Never been to watch a game but sounds interesting.oxoman said:Morning all and it's not raining here. Going to attempt first run / physical exercise in 3 wks. Might end up hacking my lungs up again. Out with the family to watch Ice Hockey for a change. Look at buying some new bike wheels as well.

Another good lie in. Managed to fix junior hounds escape route into next doors garden yesterday, it was well hidden behind the bushes and trees. Just waiting for a gap in the weather before heading out.
Bit bah humbug on NYE enforced jollity and packed out pubs/ ripoff restaurants so going to chill this evening with the leftover booze from Christmas. There's a bottle of Luxembourg 'champagne' in the fridge that one of the guests brought round a few days ago so may give that a go this evening."I spent most of my money on birds, booze and fast cars: the rest of it I just squandered."

Way over slept after yesterday's shenanigans.
Flooding caused our drainage to back up and muggins had to sort it with a sore back after shifting a truckload of wood the previous day which was after a heavy gym session on Wednesday. So the back said 'no' once I had finished stacking and Beans said 'meow' next to his dish just 1 minute after walking in the door. I bent down and abrreviated 'meow'. The rest, is as they say, history.
Took preference for (some) alcohol over painkillers last night and slept like baby. 10hrs.seanoconn - gruagach craic!1 -
Chilled start after an impromptu party at friends, nice run to get my annual mileage to a round number and confirm my status as running more than I’m home according to the wife.
Walk to a local pub and then dress up for a safari dinner, 6 couples, so 6 courses at 6 different houses with ours being the final stop. Should be a giggle1 -
That sounds good as long as you're all in staggering distance of each other. I should mention that to the locals for next yeartlw1 said:Chilled start after an impromptu party at friends, nice run to get my annual mileage to a round number and confirm my status as running more than I’m home according to the wife.

Isn't it traditional out in the boondocks to have a skinful and still drive?Stevo_666 said:

2 outliers who are just over a mile apart outside the village - with drivers organised. In the village 400 meters between the remaining 4 housesStevo_666 said:

When I was young my parents would do that with the other parents in our street for New Years. Except the "food" was crisps, nuts and cheese with pickled onions on toothpicks.tlw1 said:

Afternoon folks,
Managed a slowish start before the EPO started fretting about tidying the house before people turn up tonight and make a mess.
Rather moist out, Wobbled to the shops which confirmed it's better to stay in.
Happy new year everyone0 -
Afternoon. Up at the crack of dawn (or just before) due to an inability to sleep. Boys were taken for haircuts, dog has been walked, record player has been liberated in preparation for being put in its new position (where I can actually use it), and now I’m marking mock exam papers. In-laws will be round later. New bike jersey ordered along with a small piece of wood to make some nice truss rod covers for my guitars.
Hope you all have a wonderful evening!0 -
Sounds like a plan, make sure you don't get lost towards the end of the eveningtlw1 said:

Just demolished the Luxembourg fizzy plonk. Mrs. 666 has bought herself some beauty products for her birthday, not sure what to make of this one...

Depends whether she's also been shopping at Madame Lash's Fetish Emporium or not.Stevo_666 said:Just demolished the Luxembourg fizzy plonk. Mrs. 666 has bought herself some beauty products for her birthday, not sure what to make of this one...
I've often thought marketing people in the cosmetics game have a contest to see who can put the most ludicrous drivel on their products and still get people to buy it.

Looks like the product manager for this one won. Says on the product description 'smooth - tight - fast absorbing'.Wheelspinner said:

We had kids at the start of the night doing cocktails and then around ours at the end doing music and drinks.seanoconn said:
