    Morning

    Blowy but not as blowy as expected (yet)..

    Today will be wrapping presents and having some time to myself.

    I shall therefore make it my No.1 priority to make sure the DW's get out the door.

    More coffee needed.

    Fridge currently bulging at the seams with wifey’s Christmas prep. Off to see the old’s and their new dog (if he hasn’t been unalived yet) and my sister, who I see once a year and we both promise to see more of but never do.

    Let me know when you’re having some time to yourself and I’ll send you a few emails to stop you feeling lonely. 👍

  • Up early to get pellet store and boiler ready for a delivery, now breakfast and coffee.

    Blowy here but a little blue sky..

    If pellets arrive in reasonable time, walk and a couple of pints with a pal later.

    No; peace, tranquillity and Beans for company. But send me emails for entertainment purposes. Ta.

    You can have my sister. I see her once a year and wish it was less.

    Morning all. Feeling a tad fragile after last night. Eldest is even worse after his party and young oxo is knackered from nearly 100 miles of family taxi driving last night. His party tonight. OH isn't happy 😟 with us. Bit of shopping to do as grandkids over tomorrow for lunch. Going to be fun.

    Too many bikes according to Mrs O.

    So git to sainsbury's around 7.35am. Car park was already quite busy. Plenty of parking.

    Inside was bearable and not the usual crush I was expecting. Still wearing a face mask and gloves though.

    Did the whole shop in just over an hour but it always takes longer when wifey is with me plus we needed extra Xmas stuff.

    Now home with double espresso.

    In the words of Jesse of Fast Show "Today I will mostly be taking drugs and lying down"

    Sounds purfik to me.

    Crap run this morning, literally bursting for one all the way around.

    Tax return submitted 😞

    Boiling tap gave up this morning so will have to rely on the coffee machine today.

    all in all a pretty poor start.

    Had a good lie in this morning, much needed.

    Yesterdays virtual racing was actually quite tiring as we went for an extra session after the one we booked. Proper hooligan fun round Monaco now I'm getting to know it a bit better and nearly 8 seconds quicker than my mate was the icing on the cake. He blamed having the lergy 😊

    Today will be busy and have brave the scrum at Tesco at some point. And carry on trying to sort a ski trip, which is proving to be a bit trickier than expected.

    Where to @Stevo_666 ?

    why is it tricky? We’re probably going to book a second trip but maybe last minute as I’m going to see how my knee fares on the first one.

    Morning

    Blowy as hell here so no cycling. Had a haircut and a beard trim courtesy of Mrs W, might head to the garage to do some training in a short while.

    Trying for Argentiere this time. The headache is just coordinating dates with my mate who lives in Spain and has a lot of family comings & goings round his place.

    having bubbly and a harrods mince pie, place is rammed with crimbo shoppers, may skip the coffee and biccie, and head along to corridor to d&g, perusing, possibly procuring, pussycat-printed precious products

    Afternoon folks,

    Traditional slow start was enjoyed. This was followed by helping a mate swap his oven over. Bits of pottering, now doing some wrapping before heading to a neighbour's for drinks.

    Is Seano's sister better looking than Piña's? We need to know, pictures will of course be needed.
