    Chilled start with a long walk, a run and then the gym.

    Finish packing, then off to a branch to help someone and then head to stay in Oxford for a night out with a pal.

    Bonjour les ivrognes

    Nippy, bright, breezy.

    Bit of tinkering, stuff, things, chores, other stuff.

    First: coffee.

    Laters

    Morning

    Damp just for a change. Need to change the hinges on one of the kitchen cupboards as it no longer soft closes. However I’m not sure my car will survive the 8 mile journey to the shop. Later will be climbing and weights.

    Morning Folks,

    Woken early as junior is on one of her vet placements and has to drive over into Surrey to look after poorly horses. I'm at home doing the usual and making inroads into my coffee supplies. Mrs 666 has announced that she is getting a mini infra red sauna installed for her and junior, so will be interesting to see what it does to the leccy bills...

    Afternoon folks,

    Rather grey out this morning, but not as chilly as yesterday. Preferred it yesterday though. Another busy day in the orifice, too much to do and not enough time. Losing track of the number of times I've had to tell people that we really should be doing something but there aren't enough hours in the day so the essential takes priority over the 'should do' things. The downside of being run by a shortsighted accountant that has cut costs to the point that we can't function.

    Having suffered the frustration of trying to look at discounted stuff in the Wiggle/CRC clearout I have just ordered some spare, bar tape, discs, chain and cassette from Merlin for similar costs and a lot less hassle.

    Out for beer with a colleague tonight, just got to get through the rest of the day without murderising anyone.

    Afternoon. Busy morning then a trip to the Docs for a blood test. The dreamy-eyed HCA, my favourite, was there to drain me. Halfway through chatting to her I realised that she sounds a bit like "Nadia" from What We Do In The Shadows, and it made me chuckle to myself.


    Sometimes. Maybe. Possibly.

    Ahem, when Mrs. 666 said she was getting a sauna, I didn't realise she meant today 😮 Might have to give it a shot...

    Nothing welcomes guests like an indoor shed with a kettle in your hallway.

    Our current house had a sauna in room that had been created above the garage. It didn’t look like had been used in years and as it had no venting to let the hot air outside, it had created a patch of damp on the wall.

    Its now Mrs W’s sowing/ computer room.

    Thankfully it's in the dining room which we don't really use and you only get to it through the lounge or those white doors that open onto the back garden (not used except when we have big things to bring into the house). Fingers crossed no damp as it's infra red but we'll see. At least I'm not paying for it....

    In the Dining Room you say? Infrared heating you say? Hmmm.. pop a kebab rotisserie in there and you are sorted.

    Looks good Stevo 👍 Did they have to assemble it inside? Something a bit whacky inside the house is up my street.

    It's got holes in the floor for the grease to run off too.

    'Stevros Kebabs' peeps innit?

    Yep, it was an inside job. Would have been too big and heavy to get up the drive and round the side of the house. I started getting suspicious when I saw a couple of blokes wheeling some large-ish boxes up to the house 🙂
